Deployment of Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) Assessment to Extend Turnaround and Inspection (T&I) Cycle of Crude Distillation Unit

In the refining industry, the Turnaround and Inspection (T&I) of processing plants has implications on the financial side and supply chain operations. Owner-operators have deployed different inspections and integrity management solutions to assess condition of plant equipment and explore opportunities for reducing downtime and deferral of the internal inspection. One of those solutions is Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) assessment, which is widely used to identify corrosion damage mechanisms, assess plant equipment condition, establish risk level and provide mitigation measures to the identified risks and qualify turnaround deferrals. This paper will describe the results of the Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) assessment performed on a Crude Distillation Plant. It will discuss the RBI methodology used in the assessment, corrosion damage mechanisms identified, risk drivers, and the recommendations made along with implemented inspection strategy and Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) technologies to mitigate risks associated with identified damage mechanisms. The outcome of the assessment enabled safe and reliable 2-year deferral of the plant T&I while maximizing the facility utilization.
