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.
Over the past 20 years, the fertilizer industry has experienced several metallurgical and operational advancements for process equipment. In this article, Raj and Phil discuss the ongoing challenge of damage mechanisms and corrosion-related issues in fertilizer plants and highlight the critical role of materials selection and process monitoring in managing equipment degradation rates. Read more and learn how to achieve long-term equipment reliability and maintain a robust mechanical integrity program through the routine collaboration between materials/corrosion, mechanical, and process engineering subject matter experts and inspection specialists.
Learn how pressure swing adsorbers (PSAs) are crucial yet challenging in gas separation, and how a comprehensive lifecycle management plan based on engineering and fitness-for-service (FFS) can enhance reliability and extend equipment life. In this article, Neal and Kate discuss the importance of remaining life and inspection optimization studies in managing severe cyclic fatigue service, highlighting how pre-emptive fatigue studies guide inspection plans for PSA vessels. You will learn about inspection strategies and how to maximize capital investments through engineering strategies.
Metallurgy and corrosion experts a key to identifying damage mechanisms and predicting corrosion rates for equipment used in processes like steam methane reformers (SMRs) and air separation units (ASUs). In this article, you’ll read how important it is to recognize which damage mechanism can be reasonably captured with risk-based inspection (RBI) methods and which ones require more detailed analysis using FFS principles. In addition, you will also gain insights into how to create robust mechanical integrity programs for industrial gas production units.
The contaminants found within crude oil can lead to numerous types of damage mechanisms that impact the crude unit. Unfortunately, multiple damage mechanisms can be the cause of an in-service failure. In this article, two case studies discuss the need to conduct in-service failure analyses for uncovering the root causes and developing practical risk mitigation strategies.
In this Industry Insights article, Rob Clarke uses a case study to explain how advanced analytics and expert collaboration revolutionized asset integrity management, setting a new standard for industry excellence. You’ll read about how a facility transformed its corrosion monitoring program using CorrSolutions’ BOAR analysis to enhance efficiency and develop proactive maintenance strategies.
We’re highlighting an article written by David A. Osage from the Inspectioneering Journal’s July/August 2023 issue, in which he discussed E2G’s new inspection scheduling methodology that is reshaping asset integrity and equipment lifecycle planning and management. Using his vast knowledge and expertise in fitness for service (FFS), David outlines how E2G’s groundbreaking new maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) approach aligns with API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 standards, ensures integrity with continued operation, and works with the damage classes listed in API 579.
