Short description

The focus of the module is on the standard of American Petroleum Institute API 581 (API RECOMMENDED PRACTICE 581:2008 Risk-Based Inspection Technology), its application in petrochemical industry and the RBI approach to inspection planning. The course elaborates the basic concepts of API 581, explains the principles of Risk Based Inspection and provides quantitative procedures to establish an inspection program for pressurized fixed equipment by using risk-based methods.

Objectives

At the end of the module, students are expected to:

  • know to details of risk analysis as defined by API 581 for foreseen types of static equipment
  • use risk analysis to produce an inspection plan for a petrochemical plant.
  • Understand, and be able to perform a calculation of probability and consequences of Failure.
