Risk Based Inspection Implementation Work Processes

The Risk-Based Inspection Methodology

Every industry is under pressure to reduce production expenses including operation, inspection, and maintenance costs. Bayer Technology Services’ new Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) technology and tools empower owners and other users to manage risk associated with operating equipment, thus assuring maximum return on investment and optimal use of resources. This is accomplished by considering the likelihood of an undesirable event as well as the potential consequences.

RBI represents the high-end side of modern development of maintenance methodologies and in consequence our development of a Risk-Based Asset Integrity Management. Risk-Based Asset Integrity Management is a consequent development of traditional maintenance strategies and belongs to the knowledge based methodologies. It focuses on safety and plant availability on demand by increasing onstream time due to less turnaround time and a consequent reduction of unexpected failures due to our world wide acknowledged corrosion expertise.

 

Systems Solutions for Risk-Based Inspection

A globally accepted standard software for RBI finds its basis in the API 581 specification. Practical, valuable features are built into the technology, which is based on recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices. This software implements the following purposes of RBI:

  • Screen operating units to identify areas of high risk
  • Estimate a risk value associated with the operation of each equipment item based on a consistent methodology
  • Prioritize the equipment based on the measured risk
  • Design a highly effective inspection program
  • Systematically manage the risks associated with equipment failures

API industry standard RBI software is complemented by our new Knowledge Based Inspection System (KBIS). This serves as an easy to apply front-end to a fully integrated inspection management system. KBIS provides features and functions to utilize the system within a Risk-Based Asset Integrity Management program targeting an evergreening plant operation, and its use on a broad plant and enterprise wide basis.
