The seminar begins by outlining workable strategies and options for implementing an RBI program that is successful and doesn't involve unnecessary hassles. This course covers the RBI framework and methodology in an easy-to-understand format, assisting with the establishment and implementation of a risk-based inspection program that is most appropriate for the goals of the business. Its usefulness stems from the idea that most of the risk in a process plant is caused by a small number of essential static equipment. Consequently, if these few equipment’s can be identified, then testing and inspection can be focused on them rather than several low-risk items.

Course Objectives:

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

Introduction to the basic concept of Risk-Based Inspection and the basis for the API 580 RBI program and methodology
Understand the purpose, scope, and examination of the critical steps in the RBI process
Overview of deterioration mechanisms and failure modes affecting the plant equipment
Introduction to the risk-based inspection priority matrix and the means to utilize its results in determining inspection priorities
Introduction to the ISO-Risk plot and its use, especially in combination with the risk-based inspections priority matrix
Discussion of risk-based inspection documentation and record-keeping needs
Understanding of the basic concepts of risk acceptance, risk assessment, risk perception, risk mitigation and managing residual risk.

Who Should Attend?

Individuals who are responsible for implementing risk-based inspection programs within their own company or plant facility, Mechanical integrity, equipment reliability, and inspection personnel who are responsible for maintaining the serviceability of process plant equipment based on a cost-effective inspection program.
