Equipment and Piping failures present the greatest risk to the integrity of metallic components in down-stream petroleum sector. The implementation of Mechanical Integrity (MI) systems in the downstream petroleum sector differs based on the interpretation of various Industry standards, etc. Despite implementation of MI system, failures leading to loss of containment (LOC) are ubiquitous in aging plants. Robust and effective corrosion assessment requires focused effort from many disciplines within the organization to ensure that threats and monitoring regime are fully, identified, understood, and managed.

Corrosion risk assessment is an effective tool for screening, assessing, and managing threat at the segment and sub-segment level. Consequently, effective equipment and piping segmentation based on fluid corrosivity is paramount towards initiating corrosion-risk assessment or risk-based inspection (RBA/RBI) program. Corrosion assessment allows a review of inspection and operation data to review barriers and mitigations to ensure safe operations in accordance with the design intent. Corrosion risk management is undertaken through the following key steps; threat identification, risk assessment, risk response and risk review. This continuous, cyclical process is required to ensure that all risks are appropriately mitigated or managed.
