Why Choose this Training Course?
Plant Inspection training course includes a wide range of testing procedures aimed at finding the status of the mechanical integrity of the plant equipment under given operating conditions. The focus is primarily on stationary pressure equipment such as pressure vessels, storage tanks, piping systems, pressure relief valves, as well as on rotating equipment, i.e. pumps, compressors, turbines, etc.
This training course is designed to enable a detailed understanding of the engineering knowledge required for in-service process plant inspection, based on existing world accepted codes: API 510 / 570/ 574/ 576, etc. The training course will explain the principles and application of Risk Based Inspection (RBI) based on API 580, which serves for handling various types of hazards and the efficient measures of the risk mitigation. Fitness for Service (FFS) analysis according to API 579 will also be discussed and its usefulness will be emphasised as a tool in evaluating the remaining life of in-service equipment that has been exposed to degradation mechanism (API 571)
Upon completion of this training course, the delegates will learn:
- Codes and Standards recommended for inspection of process equipment
- Selection of appropriate inspection methodology and instrumentation
- Common process hazards analysis methods as included in RBI
- Procedure to apply Fitness for Service and determine remaining life of equipment
- The best way to prepare good and effective Inspection Report
What are the Goals?
- Understanding of main aspects of plant inspection & plant safety
- Ability to select the best inspection method and instrumentation
- Knowledge on the mechanical structure integrity of process equipment
- Familiarity with hazards related to material degradation due to process fluids
