This article discusses how the combination of the changes in the fifth edition of API 2350, Overfill Prevention for Atmospheric Storage Tanks in Petroleum Facilities (2020), and the adoption of this standard by various regulatory bodies has put additional requirements for overfill prevention on owners/operators of AST facilities.
The 5th edition of the ANSI/API Overfill Prevention for Storage Tanks in Petroleum Facilities was recently released. In this article, read about the recent changes to API 2350 and an 11-step procedure that you can apply at your processing facility.
This article, published in the September 2021 issue of World Fertilizer, discusses the improvements to the API codes and standards and how those changes impact the 3% rule.
What is asset criticality and why is it important to your reliability program? This article outlines how to prepare for a criticality assessment, assemble the team, and perform the assessment.
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.
