API RP 580 Risk Based Inspection - API Examination Preparatory
Details :
The course explains feasible
means and alternatives for achieving a successful RBI program. It deals with
RBI framework and methodology in a simple and clear manner to establish and
implement a risk-based inspection program best suited for the company objectives.
Its utility is based on the premise that a few vital equipment in a process
plant contribute a majority of the risk. Consequently, if this high-risk
equipment can be identified, then testing and inspection can be focused on them
rather than several low risk items.
RBI helps to prioritize equipment
for inspection, optimize inspection methods and frequencies, and develop
effective inspection plan commensurate with the risk contribution and equipment
condition.
- Understand concepts and principles of Risk-based Inspection for risk management
- Explain why RBI Analysis is used the benefits and limitations of various RBI technologies
- Discover the types of RBI assessments, probability and consequence, management of risks and determine the relationship between RBI and other risk-based / safety programs.
- Prepare RBI plans, practical likelihood and consequences analysis, optimize maintenance and inspection intervals.
- Develop an understanding on risk management with inspection activities.
- Determine the need to conduct an RBI re-assessment if process and hardware change.
- Recommend suitable risk mitigation actions such as equipment modification, redesign and rerating, emergency isolation, inventory reduction, blast-resistant construction and more.
- Explore the various roles, responsibilities training and qualification for RBI application.
- Refining and Petrochemical Engineers and
Inspectors
- RBI Team Members
- Plant Engineers, Non-Destructive Testing
Engineers, Materials and Corrosion Engineers, Plant
Inspectors responsible for managing the integrity of ageing process equipment, pipelines, boilers and storage tanks. - Maintenance Personnel, operations supervisors,
and process specialists who are expected to make decisions regarding the
suitability of equipment for continued service.
- A working knowledge of basis equipment is
recommended.
This training is
highly recommended for any technical personnel (ideally with a few years of
experience) who wish to gain knowledge on RBI.
This course is
an ideal preparatory program for API 580-RBI Examination.
