Incorporate machinery risk management into a mechanical integrity program to prevent loss of containment, equipment failures, and a potential process safety event. This article reviews the risk management methods of API 691 and provides easy-to-follow recommendations.
Piping vibration failures are not uncommon in the oil and gas, petrochemical, and chemical processing industries. In this webinar, Dr. Bifano discusses and compares the future API 579 Part 15 method to current industry approaches (ASME OM-3) and uses several case studies to help you identify, evaluate, and mitigate piping vibration.
Acoustic-induced vibration (AIV) is often more difficult to identify than other vibration mechanisms, such as flow-induced turbulence, slug flow, mechanical excitation from machinery, and acoustic pulsation. This article discusses ways to identify and mitigate AIV at a plant, plus how to proactively prevent AIV using design controls.
High operating temperatures can lead to a variety of damage, including creep. During the SagePlus™ User Group Meeting, Matt S. Schaser shared a case study that estimated the remaining life of heater tubes operating at temperatures in the creep range.
“Great effort to provide useful content. I got the feeling I was part of an embracing community working together for the
Although rare, the consequences of brittle fracture are typically catastrophic, and preventing brittle fracture is essential when establishing fixed equipment life-cycle management strategies. This article discusses E2G’s proprietary Level 1 and Level 2 procedures for establishing minimum allowable temperatures (MATs) for low-temperature applications of ASME B31.3 piping.
Read a comparison of a reuse project to FFS/SFS, addresses several repurposing questions, and explains the keys to conducting a successful conversion. In addition, be introduced to the upcoming changes to the Equity Engineering Practices (EEPs) that will deliver additional protocol documents to support safe and reliable operations.
In this article, Nathaniel Sutton examines the different metallurgical issues and corrosion challenges prevalent in the bio-oil and biomass oils markets and introduces several areas of consideration when converting a conventional petroleum processing unit over to renewable feeds.
Conducting suitability-for-service (SFS) assessments helps owner-operators obtain OSHA compliance for any fixed equipment that lacks documentation. In this article, Brian Macejko highlights E2G’s six-step process, based on API 510 Pressure Vessels, that helps owner-operators comply with OSHA requirements.
Learn how applying quantitative RBI principles to storage tanks will result in optimized inspection intervals and reduced risk of loss of containment. This article discusses the difference between qualitative and quantitative tank RBI and how tank RBI is a central part of a facility’s overall tank integrity management program (IMP).
