The Project Scope of work includes identifying and confirming the lines that are likely to fail due to AIV / FIV and carrying out a detailed fatigue analysis on the specific lines identified that warrant it. Further recommend measures and mitigation of fatigue failure due to acoustic for the identified system.

The methodology of the study is in accordance with the Energy Institute Guidelines. The following study approach is adopted for AIV and FIV studies.

AIV assessment – The study was performed in accordance with Section T.2.7.3 of EI guidelines. The following approach has been adopted

• Collection of facilities engineering data; P&IDs, PFDs, isometric drawings, and other associated information.
• Identification of Acoustic Induced Vibration (AIV) Excitation sources.
• Calculation of the Sound Power Level (PWL) and corresponding Likelihood of Failure (LOF) scores.
• Segregation of the pipelines/piping systems suspected of risk of AIV failure based on the PWL & LOF.
• Mitigation measures by means of verification of locations and types of pipes support to mitigate and minimize acoustically induced vibration in accordance with Energy Institute (EI) Guidelines.

FIV assessment:

The study has been performed in accordance with section T2.2.3 of the Energy Institute Guidelines. The following study approach has been adopted.

• Collection of facilities engineering data; PFDs, P&ID’s, Isometric drawings and other associated information.
• Identification of potential high-risk areas in the piping system that may be susceptible to Flow Induced Vibration (FIV).
• Analysis of the process data, such as flow rates, fluid properties, and velocities.
• Calculation of the Kinetic energy (ρv²) of the piping and the Likelihood of Failure (LOF) accordingly as per the Energy Institute Guidelines.
• Segregation of the pipelines/piping systems suspected of risk of FIV failure based on the kinetic energy & LOF.
• Mitigation measures by means of verification of locations and types of pipes support to mitigate and minimize acoustically induced vibration in accordance with Energy Institute (EI) Guidelines.
