Industry-Specific Asset Integrity Engineering Services
Industry Challenges Require Specialized Solutions
Equity Engineering delivers mechanical integrity and asset reliability consulting services for refineries, chemical plants, and other industrial processing facilities. Our engineering consultants provide fitness-for-service (FFS) assessments, metallurgical and corrosion analysis, risk assessments, and equipment lifecycle management solutions that reduce downtime, extend asset life, and improve safety.
With expertise in API, ASME, and jurisdictional codes, we help owner-operators make informed decisions about in-service equipment, rotating machinery, pressure vessels, and piping systems.
How We Help Your Industry
We provide mechanical and reliability engineers with practical recommendations and the technical information needed to make informed decisions.
01.
Your company’s experts are retiring, leaving knowledge gaps
Equity Engineering Practices (EEPs) capture retiring engineers’ expertise in practical, searchable corporate standards your team needs. Integrated API/ASME requirements, proven methodologies, and real-world applications ensure engineering continuity as workforce gaps widen and institutional knowledge retires.
02.
Your aging infrastructure is operating beyond design life
We determine what runs, what gets repaired, and what needs replacement through FFS assessments and remaining life calculations. We help you extend asset life, time turnarounds strategically, and extract maximum value from existing equipment as capital budgets tighten and replacement costs escalate.
03.
You need to comply with evolving jurisdictional codes and regulations
Our engineers sit on 44 API and 20 ASME committees—we know code changes before they’re published. Direct insight into emissions regulations, carbon mandates, and jurisdictional requirements means compliance strategies that meet standards without over-engineering or unnecessary capital spend.
04.
Margin pressure demands cost optimization
Equity delivers engineering that reduces costs without cutting corners—RBI optimization, efficient turnaround scoping, and practical solutions that maintain integrity while controlling inspection budgets. When margins compress and every dollar counts, our recommendations help you stay profitable and compliant.
Industries we work with
Refineries and production facilities face aging high-temperature equipment and compressed margins—our FFS assessments and turnaround services extend asset life while optimizing operational costs.
Oil & Gas
Storage tanks and pipeline infrastructure require integrity management across distributed assets. We deliver API 653 assessments, settlement analysis, and risk-based inspection (RBI) strategies that control costs while ensuring compliance.
Midstream & Pipelines
Navigate overcapacity, margin erosion, and complex damage mechanisms with Equity Engineering’s services to support informed run-repair-replace decisions that balance safety with profitability.
Chemical & Petrochemical
Maximize uptime while managing corrosion or high-temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA) concerns and high-pressure equipment risks with Equity Engineering’s specialized mechanical integrity assessments that enable continuous operation without compromising safety.
Fertilizer, Nitrogen, & Ammonia
As the transition to renewable feedstocks increases equipment compatibility concerns, Equity Engineering’s damage mechanism reviews and FFS assessments ensure mechanical integrity when switching to biofuels, hydrogen, or sustainable aviation fuel.
Renewable & Alternative Energy
Nuclear, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing facilities need specialized pressure equipment expertise, Equity Engineering adapts proven integrity methodologies to meet your unique operational requirements and code compliance challenges.
