Brief Introduction of the event

Chemical, petrochemical, oil & gas, and refinery sectors are facing tougher safety, environmental and mechanical integrity regulations, as well as challenges associated with the need for both cost and leak reduction to improve safety and availability.

Under these circumstances, it has become crucial to manage operational risk through the use of effective technology and best practices for inspection and maintenance planning. One of the highest benefit maintenance methodologies is Risk Based Inspection (RBI) which uses risk ranking of equipment as a basis for inspection.

This course will provide an insight into the benefits of Risk Based Inspection and the planning of inspection using risk analysis. It will also clearly outline the purpose of risk analysis and to assess the consequences and risks of failure. As such any inspection plan can then target high-risk equipment and be designed to detect potential degradation before fitness-for-service can be threatened.

The course will help your organisation with more reliable plant operations while resources are controlled, by generating information on the types of damage that may be expected of the plant equipment, the appropriate inspection techniques to be used, where to look for the potential damage, and how often inspections should take place.



About the Course Facilitator

The course facilitator is a senior consultant and training officer with Tischuk International, one of the world leaders in risk based integrity management systems. He has background at hands-on operational levels and subsequently of management in refineries, petrochemicals plants and later in oil/gas production, specifically in training; RBI & integrity management; safety & reliability; NDE & inspection; auditing and change management; design; R & D; production control; planning; written schemes of examination; overseeing implementation of RBI programs.

Prior to working with Tischuk, he spent many years with Douglas Oil and Conoco, principally in oil refining. Initially working as a designer, subsequent posts included management of inspection services and project engineering, covering plant expansion and maintenance as well as process improvement initiatives.

His reviews of integrity management across organisational divisions and management of change were particularly important in building his capability for his current role as RBIM Facilitator, supporting the implementation of RBIM in many organisations. Other factors were his extensive knowledge of failure mechanisms, plant reliability and pressure equipment legislation.

His current role with Tischuk involves the training and guiding of client User teams during the initial stages of their RBIM implementation. He also assists with the plant integrity review phases of RBIM program updates and carries out program audits. He is a past chairman of the UK Committee of User Inspectorates and was the UK Representative and chairman of the European Committee of User Inspectorates.

Key Benefits of Attending the Workshop

  • MASTER a structured approach to risk-based inspection (RBI) including the types of RBI assessments and consequences
  • IDENTIFY the steps of planning the RBI assessment by establishing objectives & goals of a RBI assessment
  • LEARN the basic concept of risk management and reduction, inspection intervals and inspection optimisation
  • INCREASE knowledge on the proper implementation of RBI documentation & record-keeping of data and information collection for RBI assessment
  • APPLY the process of reassessment and updating RBI assessments
  • IMPROVE the method of assessing probability & consequences of failure
  • CLARIFY the concept & purpose of risk determination, assessment and management
  • DEVELOP in-depth understanding on risk management with inspection activities
  • AVOID costly design mistakes of deterioration mechanisms and failure modes for risk-based inspection and common day-to-day pitfalls of risk mitigation activities


Who Should Attend

This course is designed for refining and petrochemical engineers and inspectors who are
responsible for managing the integrity of ageing process equipment, pipelines, boilers and storage tanks.

It is aimed at:
Inspection engineers | Maintenance engineers | Mechanical engineers | Mechanical integrity | Equipment reliability | Inspection teams | Maintenance management | Operations management | Process specialists | Plant engineers | Non-destructive testing engineers | Materials and corrosion engineers | Planning engineers responsible for safety of critical plant site inspections, and others involved in industrial risk assessment details |

Engineers and inspection management from the pulp and paper, natural gas, and chemical industries may also find the course beneficial.
