A Novel Digital twin Approach for Non-Intrusive Tank Bottom Corrosion Assessment

Product Number: 51323-18773-SG

Author: Christophe Baete, Bart Van den Bossche, Chihab Abarkane, Sergio Peña, Alejandra Albes

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Assessing the corrosion degradation of aboveground tank bottom plates is a critical challenge for the industry. Internal inspections are a useful way of assessing the integrity of assets but might severely impact normal plant operation. In 2006, Chang et al. conducted a study on storage tank accidents and concluded that 74% of reported accidents occurred in petrochemical refineries, and 85% of them had caused fire and explosions.

Case Studies on Application of Indirect Inspection Technology and Methodology in Municipal Water and Wastewater Systems

Product Number: 51324-21056-SG

Author: Vignesh Shankar; Emer Flounders

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Indirect inspection surveys have successfully inspected piggable and difficult to pig buried onshore Oil and Gas steel pipelines for decades. Indirect inspection methodologies such as ACVG, DCVG, CIS, GPS, leak detection, and DOC have aided oil and gas pipeline operators to monitor the health of their assets and completing mitigation to ensure their assets are functioning as per design, standards, and code. There has been extensive continuous improvement in monitoring oil and gas pipelines using indirect inspection technology. The water and wastewater pipelines have varying pipe materials. These pipelines are not regulated and do not have extensive literature, and dedicated teams to support maintaining assets in relation to external corrosion prevention, maintenance, and monitoring. This paper focuses on the application of demonstrated indirect inspection technology and methodology in municipal water and wastewater pipelines. The paper will discuss different pipe materials: coated steel pipeline, BWP, and PCCP inspected using indirect inspection technology, and present case studies.

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

Product Number: 51324-20836-SG

Author: Muhammed H Lutfallah; Kevin Galera; Maria G Faraj; Gener Guerrero; Mohannad A Alismail

Publication Date: 2024

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.

Online Asset and Integrity Monitoring to Enhance Safety, Reliability and Profitability

Product Number: MECC23-20244-SG

Author: Ammar Almousa; William Fazackerley

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Over the past decades cost pressure in oil refining has increased, especially in Europe where the consumption of oil products is decreasing over time. Refineries are investigating ways to increase margin and, given that they account for around 80% of total refinery expenditure, reduction of crude oil cost is a key factor. One way of doing this is to purchase cheaper and generally less desirable crude from global markets.

Online Continuous Corrosion Monitoring for Detection Monitoring and Control of Localized Corrosion

Product Number: 51317--9065-SG

ISBN: 9065 2017 CP

Author: Jake Davies

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

The authors will demonstrate that deploying only a modest number of point measurement devices in an area of elevated localized corrosion risk will provide the best possible combination of probability of detection (POD) as well as ongoing wall thickness monitoring for localized corrosion attack.

Swarm S2 - A Wireless, Multi-Channel Ultrasonic Corrosion and Erosion Monitoring Tool

Product Number: 51324-21238-SG

Author: Ali Fatemi

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

A new EX certified (explosion proof) ultrasonic monitoring tool for integrity management of onshore assets which are subject to corrosion and erosion is presented in this paper. This tool makes it possible to wirelessly perform monitoring with a battery or solar power driven datalogger unit connected to one or several ultrasonic sensors. With internal processing of data in the datalogger, internal storage and wireless communication, the system provides the end user with real-time wall thickness data with micrometer accuracy. Up-to-date data can be directly sent to the control system for review by the decision makers. The datalogger has a modular design which consists of a main body for processing and storing data, a bottom part for transducer connection and a top part for communication. This gives a wide range of possibilities based on the number and type of transducers required and type of communication preferences. We will present different configurations of this product and will show the results of an installation in field and discuss thickness and wall loss data.
