Risk Based Strategies for Inspection & Maintenance (RBI & RBM) - Virtual Learning
Risk Based Inspection (RBI) methodology enables the assessment of the likelihood and potential consequences of pressure equipment failures. RBI provides companies the opportunity to prioritize their equipment for inspection, optimize inspection methods, frequencies and resources, develop specific equipment inspection plans, and enable the implementation of Reliability Centered Maintenance. This results in improved safety, lower failure risks, fewer forced shutdowns, and reduced operational costs.
The risk-based approach needs:
To be multi-disciplined
To be realistically applicable to plant integrity
Design with future scenarios in mind
Consideration of all potential degradation mechanisms
Understanding of the risks involved
Awareness of Fitness for Service assessment techniques
