Mitigating Piping Vibration Risk: Case Studies on Using the Level 1, Level 2, & Level 3 FFS Approach

November 30, 2021

Piping vibration failures are not uncommon in the oil and gas, petrochemical, and chemical processing industries. Typically considered a fitness-for-service (FFS) problem, in-service piping vibration is solved using brute force cycle counting methods combined with fatigue curves or vibration acceptance curves. 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.

Navigating New Seismic Rules for Storage Tanks: A Technical Guide to Washington’s WAC 173-180

Mar 26, 2026

Washington State’s WAC 173-180 regulation is setting a new bar for seismic integrity of existing aboveground storage tanks, with a compliance deadline of July 2033 and analysis requirements that treat existing assets as new builds. This article breaks down what owner-operators need to know technically and makes the case for acting well before the deadline.

Engineering 101: Tanks and Storage Equipment – Foundations for Every Engineer

Mar 26, 2026

Tanks are among the first engineered systems early-career engineers encounter, but their apparent simplicity can be misleading given the range of design, materials, and cross-disciplinary considerations involved. This article offers a practical foundation for new engineers on how tanks work, why they matter, and the common pitfalls to watch for across industries.

Evolution of Gas Dispersion Modeling

Feb 20, 2026

As hazardous release scenarios grow more complex, outdated Gaussian plume models are leaving facilities either over-exposed to risk or over-invested in unnecessary safety infrastructure. This article explores how advanced gas dispersion modeling with rigorous thermodynamic calculations and 3D consequence contours delivers right-sized process safety decisions.

Asset Lifecycle Management: An Introduction to Process Safety

Feb 20, 2026

The most serious incidents in industrial history were not the result of a single equipment failure — they were the product of systemic breakdowns in design, operations, and management. Understanding how process safety works, and where it can fail, is essential knowledge for any engineer working with complex systems or hazardous materials.
