Asset Integrity and Reliability

Managing asset integrity involves designing, procuring, constructing and maintaining process facilities that provide control of process hazards over the life cycle for equipment as varied as piping, vessels, rotating equipment, instrumentation and controls, safety systems, utilities and key infrastructure. This session is an opportunity to share mechanical integrity philosophies and programs, as well as implementation details for specific equipment types or failure mechanisms. Advances in condition monitoring and in developing inspection, testing and preventive maintenance intervals using risk- and reliability-based methods and models (e.g. risk-based inspection, Weibull analysis) are also of interest.
