Learn how to improve performance by adopting inspection and maintenance best practices and applying advanced finite element analysis (FEA). This article discusses key design and operational considerations, drawing from codes and standards as well as Equity Engineering’s experience in assessing bolted joints.
A well-structured PRS audit process helps verify system integrity, update records, and ensure overpressure protection remains effective. In this article, Phil Henry outlines the key elements of an effective auditing program, from planning and execution to reporting and continuous improvement.
Pressure relieving systems serve as the last line of defense against the dangers of overpressures in our facilities, but this protection can be jeopardized by poor maintenance and degradation. Active safeguarding of this protective system is crucial to preventing catastrophe. While the requirement for pressure relief is rooted in the ASME code, it is the US CFR 29 1010.119 [1] that requires the proper documentation of relief system design and design bases.
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.
A successful turnaround has five main stages: setting goals, project scoping, detailed planning, execution, and post-turnaround planning. This article focuses on the advantages of a problem-solving team to resolve equipment inspection discovery and efficiently minimize lost opportunity costs.
A turnaround can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of a dollars per day. In this article, you’ll learn how Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) helps to manage the costly impact of turnarounds through proper pre-planning to minimize the overall downtime.
