To operate safely, a chemical processing facility must contain and control hazardous materials and energies throughout the entire lifetime of the facility. The failure of containment or control systems can lead to loss events such as fires, explosions, and toxic releases. These facilities involve many assets including vessels, piping systems, controls, safety systems, utilities, structures, and other elements. These assets must not only be properly designed and installed but also inspected, tested, and maintained to prevent failures. Students will come away from this course knowing what it takes to manage asset integrity at a processing facility.
Unit 1: Asset Integrity
- Define asset integrity
- Know where asset integrity fits into Risk Based Process Safety
- Identify the three life cycle AIMs of asset integrity management (AIM)
- Understand quality management as it relates to asset integrity
Unit 2: Build Asset Integrity into the Process Design
- Recognize the significance of fitness for purpose.
- Understand the importance of codes, standards, and practices in building asset integrity into the process design.
- Select assets to be included in an asset integrity management (AIM) program.
- Use process safety metrics related to AIM #1.
Unit 3: Maintain the Integrity of Assets
- Understand what it takes to maintain the integrity of assets over time.
- Recognize inspection, testing, and preventive maintenance activities related to specific asset types.
- Use process safety metrics related to AIM #2.
Unit 4: Manage Deficiencies and Failures
- Understand what it takes to manage asset deficiencies.
- Recognize acceptance criteria.
- Avoid incidents related to temporary repairs.
- Use process safety metrics related to managing asset deficiencies.
This course is for upper-level chemical engineering undergraduates who have had some exposure to process safety. This course is also suitable for young professionals and for engineers who are transitioning to process safety engineering or process safety management system assignments.
