9
Why Risk Based Approach?
  • Traditional engineering methodology
  • Deterministic
  • Limited quantitative frameworks to assess
    condition relative to common datum or benchmark
  • Difficult decision making
  • Incentive
  • Focus allocation to optimize risk, which is
    function of hazards and its likelihood
  • Efficient and effective decision-making making
  • Help to prioritize resources

10
Risk Based Approach
It Involves Engineering and Management Science
Risk Based Asset Integrity Management
Risk Based Design
Risk Based Integrity Modeling
Risk Based Planning and Management
11
Risk Based Approach
  • Attempts to answer
  • What may go wrong? Hazard
  • How may it go wrong? Mechanism
  • How likely is it to occur? Frequency
  • What would be the impact? Consequences
  • What measures (design, inspection, and
    maintenance) would reduce the likelihood of
    occurrence or impact? Risk Mitigation

12
Industry Success
  • A semi-quantitative model for risk based asset
    integrity management has been developed and
    successfully applied to
  • Thermal power plant
  • Ethylene Oxide plant
  • A new quantitative RBAIM has been developed and
    applied to
  • Process Pipelines
  • Autoclave
  • Separator
  • A new Methodology developed for Risk Based
    Inspection and Maintenance Decision making inline
    with API 580/581 and ASME guidelines

13
Future Direction
  • Application of quantitative RBIAM to Offshore Oil
    and Gas operation
  • Asset Management through Risk based design
  • Integration of safety and integrity in holistic
    asset management framework
  • Integrity Models for rotary equipment integrity
    assessment and maintenance planning
  • Bring facility risk from unit/system level to
    component level
  • Integration of human factor elements to risk
    based integrity management

14
Fitness-for-Service Research
  • Seshu Adluri

15
Asset Integrity Eng. (AIE)
  • Three major phases in AIE
  • Monitoring and testing (NDE)
  • Fitness-for-Service Evaluation
  • Decision making (risk based)
  • In the context of the Oil and Gas Sector,
    Mechanical and Structural Integrity Assessment is
    a multi-disciplinary effort involving
  • process chemistry, process engineering,
    thermo-fluids, mechanics, materials, applied
    physics, and computational technology

16
Asset Integrity Engineering
  • Asset integrity decisions (whether probability
    based or otherwise) need the input regarding
    fitness for service of an existing component
    after some level of damage is suspected or
    detected.
  • This input comes from Design and Analysis groups
    and needs to follow guide lines set out by API or
    other bodies.
  • The procedures must be easy to apply with high
    confidence level.
  • A Canada Research Chair (Dr. Seshadri) and
    several others are actively working in developing
    special techniques for mechanical structural
    integrity

17
Asset Integrity Eng. (AIE)
  • Industry organizes its activities into design,
    construction and post construction phases
  • Post construction phase is further subdivided
    into operations, maintenance and restoration
    activities

18
Asset Integrity Eng. (AIE)
  • Level 1 Conservative Screening criteria that are
    used with a minimum quantity of inspection data
    or information about the component
  • Level 2 Intended for use by facilities or plant
    engineers
  • Level 3 Sophisticated analyses by experts where
    advanced computerized procedures are often
    carried out

19
Asset Integrity Eng. (AIE)
Grouping of Failure modes
  • Category 1 Failures that occur without warning
  • Stringent design limits are placed since failures
    occur without warning
  • Category 2 Failures that occur due to repeated
    application of loads
  • Less stringent limits are placed since damage can
    be detected and inspection/ repairs are possible

20
Res. Development Program
  • A new generation of methods addressing modes of
    failures for components
  • Methods involve advanced concepts (level 3) in
    plasticity and computational methods
  • Develop simplified Level 2 methods for Limit
    Loads and Fitness for Service parameters.

21

    fitness-for-service of components

30
Semi Quantitative Approach
  • Hazard Estimated using simple empirical model
    based on the characteristics of the system
  • Failure Probability Estimated using model as
    well as field observation
  • Risk is estimated as HazardFailure probability
  • Inspection interval is decided based on the Risk
    factor

31

    based on the characteristics of the system
  • Failure Probability Estimated using
    reliability/statistical model as well as field

    factor

32

components
