Project 268: Dealing with Aging Process Facilities and Infrastructure

Chemical process and petrochemical facilities utilize a range of equipment and infrastructure to operate optimally and generate value for enterprises.  The aging of process equipment and infrastructure introduce opportunities for loss of containment and resulting accidental releases.  A number of factors are considered when managing aging equipment and infrastructure to assess and manage the associated risks.  This book  would be designed to help those responsible for maintaining and evaluating equipment (maintenance, equipment and asset integrity) to understand and assess the added risks of accrued damage and deterioration on the performance and safety of aging equipment. Aspects of management systems and engineering will also be included as well as roles and responsibilities, documentation (paper, electronic, video graphic) throughout the life of the equipment.
