Wholly Probabilistic Integrity Assessment Methods for Cost/Benefit based decision making
Wholly probabilistic analysis methods of equipment integrity condition will enable Cost/Benefit based decisions in Asset Management and Risk Control problems like:
- Corrosion inspection planning (RBI, NII), advanced NDT support
- Vibration and High Cycle Fatigue analysis/design
- Fitness For Service (FFS) problems (crack propagation, other defects)
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA) upgrade to Probability of Failure (PoF) outputs
- Other equipment damage and integrity condition problems in a range of industries
These are unique novel methods for failure control.
This probabilistic analysis methodology is holistic and has a potential to revolutionise a very wide spectrum of material strength analysis and failure prediction activities. It is different from the existing practices of constructing damage progress mathematical models, as it uses evidential integrity data in lieu of models and treats equipment units at a truly individual level of load/damage operational conditions.
Specification Title | Specification Description |
---|---|
Compliance
|
Compliant with the major requirements and goals of inspection standards (AS 3788, API-580, others). It goes beyond the basic procedures of integrity assessments to provide cost/benefit outputs for direct compatibility with asset management frameworks.
|
Capabilities
|
Remote analysis services accessible worldwide. The integrity data exchange can be facilitated by our secure online portal and IDMS. A wide spectrum of damage phenomena across industries can be addressed. Case studies done for oil & gas pressure equipment.
|
Safety
|
Offers a genuine compliance demonstration to the risk owner, e.g. knowing a time instance of a safety exposure limit breach and deployment of risk control measures prior to that instance. Plant areas can also be classified by risk levels.
|
Non man entry
|
Application of the advanced analysis promotes usage of non-intrusive inspection and condition monitoring technologies where this is warranted by risk levels.
|
Asset life extension
|
As opposed to the current practice of constant 'remnant life' estimates, our fully probabilistic analysis shows the risk cost and safety exposure evolution versus time in the future.
|
Return on Investment
|
This feature is able save a significant fraction of OPEX straight from a design stage through the cost/benefit analysis of the damage safeguards and minimising the frequency and duration of planned and unplanned shutdowns.
|
Condition based maintenance
|
Implementation of advanced CM and NDT tools is often impaired by the risk owners inability to get added value from that added data. Our technology is focused specifically on the integrity data analysis to convert the data into confident risk assessments.
|
Areas of Application
|
Generally applicable to any damage phenomena in any insdustry. Pilot case studies done using the actual integrity data from the oil and gas industry.
|
Impact
|
A holistic upgrade of the whole Asset Integrity discipline, due to the risk analysis methods transition from deterministic figures to the probability of failure evolution, as it actually does in reality.
