A Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) work process has been developed for above-ground, fiberglass reinforced polymer (FRP) storage tanks containing one of five designated chemicals. The process complies with American Petroleum Institute’s Recommended Practice 580 – Risk-Based Inspection and the ASME PCC-3 Inspection Planning using Risk-Based methods that were developed for fixed equipment and piping in the hydrocarbon and chemical process industries. However the basic methodology can be adapted to any class of industrial equipment, such as FRP equipment. Damage mechanism documentation for five selected chemical and tank construction combinations was developed to provide guidance in developing failure scenarios.

The RBI work process includes a benefit-cost analysis that compares the economic benefit of mitigation to the cost of the actions selected to mitigate the risk. Mitigation of the S/H/E risk is also an inherent part of developing the inspection and maintenance plan. This RBI work process allows plant personnel to monitor reliability while delivering a task-focused, cost effective inspection and maintenance plan for a FRP storage tank.

Keywords: Risk-Based Inspection, FRP, Polymers, Corrosion
