Consulting Services Focused on Safety, Reliability, and Integrity
Central Engineering Services for Asset Integrity & Risk Management
Equity Engineering delivers mechanical integrity and asset reliability consulting services for refineries, chemical plants, and industrial facilities. Our engineering consultants provide fitness-for-service (FFS) assessments, metallurgical and corrosion analysis, pressure relief system audits, electrical and functional safety assessments, and piping and structural vibration services that reduce downtime, extend asset life, and improve safety.
With our API and ASME codes and standards expertise, we help owner-operators make informed and practical decisions about in-service equipment, rotating machinery, pressure vessels, and piping systems.
How We Help
01.
Extend safe operating life while maintaining performance.
Equity Engineering determines what can safely run, what needs repair, and what must be replaced. We deliver FFS assessments, remaining life calculations, integrity operating windows (IOWs), and code-compliant engineering analysis (API, ASME, & OSHA) across pressure vessels, piping, tanks, rotating machinery, and fired equipment.
02.
Identify and prioritize risk before it impacts safety or reliability.
We identify critical degradation before it becomes catastrophic through proactive risk assessments and failure investigations. Our services include damage mechanism reviews, vibration surveys, electrical safety audits, failure analysis, and risk-based inspection (RBI) prioritization.
03.
Deliver practical engineering solutions that work in the field.
Equity Engineering serves as your extended engineering department for complex problems requiring deep technical knowledge. From post-incident assessments and non-standard repairs to code interpretation, equipment modifications, and emerging integrity threats, we deliver practical, field-ready solutions.
Equity Engineering Service Areas
Run functional and electrical safety audits and establish measurement objectives to improve the reliability of electrical systems, automation, and control systems.
Automation, Controls, & Electrical
Conduct root cause analysis and develop practical mitigation strategies after a failure, fire, or loss of containment.
Failure Analysis
Apply API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 standards to extend equipment life by making informed run, repair, or replace decisions on in-service equipment.
Fitness-for-Service
Identify damage mechanisms that compromise component and pressure vessel integrity and gain practical mitigation recommendations.
Materials & Corrosion
Extend the life of in-service equipment with turnaround planning, brittle fracture screening, bolted flange joint assessments, and structural integrity services.
Mechanical & Structural Engineering
Evaluate piping and fixed equipment for the risk of vibration fatigue with on-site vibration surveys and develop mitigation recommendations.
Piping & Structural Vibration
Maintain safety critical pressure relieving systems and develop practical mitigation solutions that meet risk management targets, compliance requirements, and business objectives.
Process Safety & Pressure Relief
Refocus maintenance dollars to high-priority areas using risk as a basis for prioritizing and managing in-service inspection programs.
Risk-based Inspection
Apply vibration principles to develop predictive rotating machinery maintenance programs that identify when a bearing or other component will fail.
