Advancements in Risk-Based Inspection Strategies for Ammonia Storage Tanks

Authors: Maria Rennillo, Engineering Solutions Lead, Staff Engineer II; Matthew Kaiser, E.I.T., Staff Engineer I; Katelyn Gustoff, Consulting Engineer II

Developing a repeatable, in-service inspection strategy for ammonia storage tanks is difficult; however, it will help improve operational reliability and minimize the probability of failure from several damage mechanisms, including ammonia stress corrosion cracking (SCC). In this article, the authors discuss Equity’s multi-disciplinary approach to navigate the challenges of these high-consequence ammonia storage tanks. Read how we integrate risk-based inspection (RBI), fitness-for-service (FFS), and materials and corrosion expertise to provide a comprehensive and practical inspection strategy.

How Playing Battleship Helps with CML Optimization

How Playing Battleship Helps with CML Optimization

As a child, many of us played the game Battleship. But did you know this game provides a great introduction to Bayesian updating and corrosion monitoring location (CML) optimization? Using the Battleship analogy, Branden Stucky introduces the Bayesian Optimized Asset Reliability (BOAR) assessment and provides insight into how to combine expert knowledge with collected data to identify corrosion rates.
