RBI Studies
Velosi has been appointed by SABIC PetroKemya to conduct a Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) study for the PetroKemya OLEFINS-1/2/3 Plants. This project involves the use of the APMS Mechanical Integrity (MI) module to implement RBI across PetroKemya OLEFINS-1/2/3 Plants operations. The goal is to optimize inspection scopes and intervals, thereby reducing inspection costs and focusing efforts on the most critical static equipment and piping systems that could impact PetroKemya OLEFINS-1/2/3 Plants operations.

Scope

The Project Scope of work includes Risk Based Inspection of the static equipment and piping for the following Units of PetroKemya OLEFINS-1/2/3 Plants: 

  • Corrosion Loop Drawings & Assigning Damage Mechanisms 
  • Corrosion Loop Description 
  • Development of Integrity Operating Windows 
  • Inventory Group Drawings 
  • Piping Circuit Drawings & Piping Circuit Master list 
  • SAP Upload Template to create New Assets 
  • RBI Meridium Templates for Risk Assessment 
  • RBI Meridium Template for Corrosion Loops 
  • RBI Meridium Template for TML Structure creation 
  • Inspection Strategies creation and Management in Meridium 
  • Link RBI Component with Corrosion loops in Meridium 
  • CML marked Isometric Drawings 
  • Redundant Old Piping Circuits and Old Inspection Tasks in SAP and Meridium

Process

The methodology of this project involves a comprehensive approach set forth to ensure essential components to project scope as: 

  • Velosi has used line list, Engineering Data, Piping Material / Class Document to develop Asset Register for all Piping. 
  • Material Selection Diagrams have been developed. 
  • Process Flow Diagrams and Heat and Material Balance have been used to develop Corrosion Loops and assigning Degradation Mechanisms for each corrosion loop. 
  • Velosi has used PID to reflect the demarcation of Corrosion Loops from PFDs.  
  • Velosi has developed Corrosion Loop Description Document for each corrosion loop marked on PFDs. 
  • Velosi has used Asset Register to group Piping in a piping circuit and mark the boundary of each piping circuits on PID and developed Piping Circuit Drawings. 
  • Velosi has marked Inventory Groups with clear boundaries on PFDs. 
  • Velosi has used Corrosion Loops with certain Degradation Mechanisms to identify critical process parameters and Integrity Operating Windows for each loop. 
  • Velosi has developed SAP template to create assets in SAP. 
  • Velosi has developed SAP Templates to link the lines with Superior Equipment (Piping Circuits) 
  • Velosi has developed RBI Templates to perform Risk Assessment and Generation Inspection Plan in GE Meridium. 
  • Velosi Prepared SAP Templates to create work orders for Inspection Tasks. 
  • Velosi has developed 580 Corrosion Loop Template for create and link corrosion loops with Piping circuits in GE Meridium. 
  • Velosi created CML markup drawings to highlight Inspectable locations. 
  • Velosi developed TML Template as per CML markup drawings and created TML Structure in GE Meridium. 
  • Velosi highlighted and de-activation Old Piping Circuits and Inspection Tasks in GE Meridium and SAP.
