MECHANICAL INTEGRITY PROGRAMS PLANT/REFINERY CORROSION/EROSION MONITORING PROGRAMS

D & C Inspection Services offers a complete Mechanical Integrity program or partial corrosion/erosion monitoring program of existing and new piping and equipment. The following services are available for this failure prevention program:

  • Perform risk assessment and prioritization
    for inspections and maintenance planning
    for pressure containing equipment.

  • Perform process hazards analysis as required by OSHA 29CFR, Chapter XVII 1910.119.

  • Verify thickness of plant piping, production equipment, pressure vessels, and tanks using Ultra-sonic thickness equipment. Map thickness readings for all items for permanent record and re-testing as your maintenance program requires.

  • Calculate maximum allowable working pressures of equipment and piping based on the thickness recorded.

  • Calculate life expectancy of piping and equipment based on archived thickness measurements.

  • Predict corrosion rates based on archived thickness measurements.

  • Arrange replacement of piping and equipment reaching critical minimum thickness requirements without a failure of equipment and unexpected plant shutdown.

  • Prevent or minimize the consequences of catastrophic releases of toxic, reactive, flammable, or explosive chemicals and gases.

  • Computer generated reports and calculations are furnished for easy comprehension of corrosion rates and status of equipment. Reports may be integrated into the records required per OSHA 1910.119.

  • Computer and Ultrasonic thickness gauge software can be purchased for compatibility of records retention and archives.
