API 580 and 581 Training - Risk-Based Inspection and Base Resource Document Course
Introduction:
The course is structured around API RP 580 Risk-Based Inspection and API Publication 581, which serve as foundational resources.
Initially, the course provides an explanation of practical approaches and options to effectively implement a successful RBI program without unnecessary complexities.
The primary focus of this course is to present the RBI framework and methodology in a straightforward manner, enabling participants to establish and execute a risk-based inspection program aligned with their company's objectives.
The course emphasizes the notion that a small number of critical equipment items in a process plant contribute significantly to the overall risk profile. Consequently, by identifying these key equipment items, testing and inspection efforts can be concentrated on them, rather than dispersing resources across numerous low-risk items.
Course Objectives:
- o Introduction to the basic concept of Risk-Based Inspection and the basis for the API 580 RBI program and methodology
- o Understand the purpose, scope, and examination of the critical steps in the RBI process
- o Overview of deterioration mechanisms and failure modes affecting the plant equipment
- o Introduction to the risk-based inspection priority matrix and the means to utilize its results in determining inspection priorities
- o Introduction to the iso-risk plot and its use, especially in combination with the risk-based inspections priority matrix
- o Discussion of risk-based inspection documentation and record-keeping needs
- o Understanding of the basic concepts of risk acceptance, risk assessment, risk perception, risk mitigation and managing residual risk.
- o Event tree analysis; Fault tree analysis, Qualitative and quantitative assessment and evolution of inspection approaches
- o Understand reassessments and means for updating RBI.
- o Implementation of RBI in Oil and Gas industry.
