RISK BASED INSPECTION
FITNESS-FOR-SERVICE ASSESMENT (FFS)
It is very important to ensure that facilities are safe & reliable without risks which could affect the community and environment adversely. An advanced risk-management is necessary to prevent major industrial accidents hazard.
In addition, it is inevitable to prevent unexpected shutdowns considering the big costs, for all integrated plants including but not limited to oil, gas, energy, chemical, cement sectors.
IS THIS MANDATORY?
The directive for Preventing Major Accidents as known as SEVESO, is asking for effective and continous protection of the community and environment by means of risk assesment and condition survey, as well as periodic inspection of risky equipment and systems
WHAT WE PROVIDE?
v Examination of design, working conditions and previous inspection records of the facilities or equipment
v Detailed visual inspection on-site
v Determination of the most effective test and analysis strategy based on our examination and visual inspection results, considering material, expected damage mechanism, corrosion and other risk factors.
v Detailed inspection, test, analysis and evaluation
v Perform root cause analysis for detected problems and flaws
v Fitness-for-service assesment in accordance with codes
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TEST AND ANALYSIS METHODS
There are wide-range of inspection methods for the condition assesment of facilities or equipment.
DQE helps operation and maintenance teams of plants to give the best decisions. Engineers experienced in this matter evaluates the feasibility of tests and analysis with the help of simulation applications.
ROOT CAUSE & REMAINING LIFE ANALYSIS
When a flaw or damage mechanism is observed, our experts can perform the root cause analysis. Therefore, actions can be taken, necessary to use the equipment or system for a longer period of time and efficiently. Consecutive maintenance activities can be planned more effectively.
Remaining life analysis can be performed with the data of condition/ fitness-for-service assesment
