Plant Life Management - Ageing Degradation Mechanisms Ageing is not about how old your equipment is ita ™s about what you know about its condition, and how thata ™s changing over time. Beginning with the fundamentals, the objective of this series of seminars is to provide practical information regarding materials degradation and the consequences for ageing plants. a To extend maintenance period. a To mitigate potential failures  more...

Degradation of aging plants Do You Have an Ageing Plant? COURSE: PLANT DEGRADATION MECHANISMS PART ONE PLANT INTEGRITY, DEFECT ASSESSMENT, FITNESS-FOR-SERVICE, RISK BASED INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE Power, Petrochemical, Oil & Gas and other Industrial Applications INTRODUCTION The assessment of aging plants, containing defects and operating under high temperature, steady or cyclic load conditions, has become an  more...

Source of Failures This module reviews a selection of industrial failures and explains how errors or defects can lead to failures. a Errors in assembly. a Service abnormalities a Ductile a Brittle mode. a Inadequate or improper maintenance. a Unintended or inadvertent factors. a Material Related. a Fabrication defects. a Improper processing. a Deficiencies in design  more...

Risk Based Inspection Its utility is based on the rough premise that 10% of the equipment in a process contributes 90% of the risk. Consequently, if this 10% of the equipment can be identified, testing and inspection can be focused on it rather than low-risk items. This approach is clearly preferable to the usual method of treating all equipment equally, regardless of its risk contribution.  more...

Plant degradation mechanism for aging plants an essential skill for Risk Base Inspection As operating pressure plants age, premature leaks or rupture are increasingly likely. Mechanisms such as corrosion, creep, fatigue, the possibility of cracks emanating from damaged areas could lead to dramatic consequences. It is fundamental to understand degradation mechanisms, their likelihood of occurring in the facility and the impact that they may have on the facility. This intensive  more...

A systematic Approach to Failure Analysis Have you ever been handed a failure investigation and were not quite sure all the steps required to complete the investigation? Did you had to review a failure investigation and wondered if all the aspects had been properly covered? Or perhaps you read a failure investigation and wondered what to do next? Learn the steps to organize a failure investigation and ensure success.  more...
