Advances and Innovations to Drive Highly Effective Asset Integrity Programs

A reliable chemical plant is safe, profitable, and environmentally responsible. Reliable plants have higher capacity utilization and experience fewer process upsets and loss of primary containment (LOPC) events. Asset integrity is a key driver to both reliability and process safety that should include effective condition monitoring programs, a robust management system involving all asset stakeholders, and effective communication of metrics and findings. This session seeks papers that describe best practices in asset integrity programs, innovations in inspection and testing methods and technologies, effective metrics and management review practices, and how these can be used to advance process safety excellence.
