Refinery operations, characterized by significant process complexities, have traditionally remained as a domain where accurate asset integrity and life prediction have been difficult to achieve. Such difficulty stems from the need to characterize and manage corrosion across different critical process units and parameters; quantifying corrosion has thus become a key factor in ensuring asset integrity, and absence of appropriate corrosion management strategies has often been the cause of some of the most destructive and expensive corrosion failures. Managing corrosion in refineries is a complex task, given the engineering intricacies associated with the processes and operations.
The use of Damage Mechanisms (DM’s) has been successfully developed and applied in the Oil Refiningindustry for over 20 years. A damage mechanism is a specific combination of mechanical, chemical,physical, or other processes that result in equipment degradation (piping or equipment) during operation(active or shut down). These have been defined for Oil Refining (API RP 5711). API RP 571 issupplemented with some similar and some specific individual damage mechanism, by technical reports, recommended practices, publications, and bulletins from API, as well as from the National Association ofCorrosion Engineers (NACE - now known as the Association for Materials Protection and Performanceor AMPP), and the Welding Research Council (WRC).
