We are currently seeking a Mechanical Integrity Lead Inspector at our Belle Plaine, SK location. The successful candidate will execute inspections required by the site Risk Based Inspection Program and assist the Mechanical Integrity Engineer in making remediation recommendations.

As an Asset Integrity Analyst (AI Analyst), you will engage our clients on key implementation projects such as Asset Optimization studies, Risk Based Inspection (RBI), mechanical integrity program implementation, inspection program development, and facility or equipment condition assessment.

As refiners continue operating aging infrastructure, safe operation and equipment availability continue to be key components of a sustainable operation. When considering optimizing inspection projects, more and more refiners are making Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) an integral part of their plan processes. When applied properly, RBI can focus inspection efforts using risk as a basis for prioritizing and managing an in-service inspection program.

Maintenance and reliability processes are paramount in maximizing productivity and ensuring safety within plants in the chemical, petrochemical, and refining industries. Many of these plants have a variety of assets varying in age and capability and are operating beyond their original intended life span. It is critical for the chemical, petrochemical, and refinery organizations to have the complete picture of the assets in order to ensure the highestproductivity and also maximize limited...

I really need the expertise to help me.....Pipe damaged mechanism from a RBI software is fatigue .Material = SS 304Service = Prophane ( No water / non corrosive )1. is that vibration monitoring is needed at the first time inspection or visual inspection is enough as a preliminary inspection ( and continue with vibration monitoring if visual inspection found pipe vibrated ) ?My understanding is if we found pipe is support with proper pipe support and no vibrated , no needed to continue with details vibration monitoring.2. Refer to above damaged mechanism,material and...

The question of how to set risk targets is a logical one and should be addressed prior to or in the very early stages of RBI implementation. This article will guide readers through the basic elements required to address this question within an organization, as all companies do not have the same risk philosophy and can adapt these elements to fit their own. Although this article covers information that must be addressed for any RBI program, it is not an all-encompassing article on how to implement and maintain an RBI program. For more information on RBI, visit Inspectioneering.com. The website contains more than 30 articles on the subject that were printed throughout the last 17 years and cover nearly every aspect of RBI. Readers may also visit the Inspectioneering Discussion Forum and the Inspectioneering LinkedIn Group for further discussion on RBI topics.

Damage Mechanisms Review as Part of RBIHow important is an industry experienced corrosion engineer, metallurgical engineer or metallurgist in performing this review? Can we soley rely on the software or any software tool or reference material to provide the confidence we need to do a credible job of this? Thank you in advance for sharing your experience, insight and presssures that you face which could impact your answer, such as a shortage of such people. Thank you

What do you recommend to institute a sustainable plant or corporate RBI program? This is not in reference to what software program one is using but the success of sustaining an overall RBI program. If software is a part of that answer please provide specifics about the features and functionality that promote sustainability. It is likely that those features and functionality apply to various software packages.Thank you,Greg Alvarado

Hi.. I've double wall LPG storage tank (suspended deck at inner tank) sized 44m diameter which had never being internally inspected for 28 years. The inspection group had done the RBI and presented the case, which require the tank to immediately shutdown for internal inspection (of course involved hugh cost

Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, provides a lot of good advice for leaders. For example: -Begin with the end in mind-First things first-First focus on being effective, then efficient; otherwise we may just be doing the wrong thing faster

Serving the oil refining, petro-chemical, chemical, power generation and pipeline industries, Stress Engineering Service's Fitness for Service engineering practice is comprised of technicians and engineers skilled in a variety of engineering disciplines. Our team of experts combines unmatched experience and the most effective engineering tools to solve problems in a number of plant components including FCCU's, coke drums, pressure vessels, reactors, heaters, boilers, power generation equipment, piping, pipelines, turbines, and structures

The original article on scalable accuracy which laid the groundwork for the concept was published in the March April 2011 issue of the Inspectioneering Journal, entitled Scalable Accuracy, Key Roles of Risk Based Inspection and Fitness for Service, Equipment Life-Cycle Management Process. This article is reprinted immediately following this article for ease of reference. The two examples touched upon in the original article were the fitness for service approach as represented by the joint API ASME standard, API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 Fitness for Service Standard and the API Recommended Practice 581, representing the specific API RBI technology.

Do any body have knowledge regarding RBI software for a chemical plant having low temperature and pressure equipments, Like PVC, EDC/VCM plant

Due to increasing market demands for stabilized crude, it is a high priority for oil handling and processing facilities to avoid production interruption. One optimization opportunity is to review our approach for scheduled facility Test and Inspection (T&I) during turnarounds or outages. To extend the regular inspection schedule cycle, processing facilities call for Risk Based Inspection (RBI) studies to appraise continued facility operation for extended inspection cycles without sacrificing reliability and often improving the reliability result, when applied correctly.

Two technologies immediately available to plant operators for fixed equipment life-cycle management are Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) and Fitness for Service (FFS); the two can stand alone, but work optimally when combined...

Inspection intervals for equipment have in the past been defined in a prescriptive manner. However, industry is now embracing the Risk Based Inspection (RBI) approach which in contrast prioritises inspections based on an assessment of the risk to each individual item.

InVista is a lightweight, hand-held ultrasonic in-line inspection tool (intelligent pig) capable of detecting pipeline wall loss and corrosion in unpiggable or difficult-to-inspect pipelines. The pipeline geometry inspection data captured by the InVista tool is exceptionally powerful when combined with the LifeQuest™ Pipeline fitness-for-service capabilities, providing an integrated solution set for the pipeline industry.
