DESCRIPTION
FFSTRANSCRIPT
Advanced RBI software for optimising plant inspection
plant-wide risk audit enables
inspection resources to be risk-focused
optimum inspection intervals are formally obtained based on an implicit time dimension of risk
risk mitigation measures are signalled and selected to meet inspection frequency targets
highly user friendly decision support tool in accordance with the new API RP 580
Industry is recognising that benefits may be gained from adopting formal risk-based inspection (RBI) approaches to plant integrity management through improved targeting and scheduling of inspection and maintenance effort.
RISKWISE for Process Plant™ assesses the likelihood and consequence of failure for fixed equipment and piping and
produces a relative risk ranking for plant equipment is convenient to use and can be easily learned as the risk model allows qualitative as well
as quantitative input includes a regular updated database with all relevant damage mechanisms, as well as
guidance on formulating the consequence of failure allows the user to appraise or focus/defocus the likelihood and consequence attributes for
each component, eg the level of inspection and maintenance and thus mitigate the risk of loss or optimise the current inspection programme
identifies the most likely damage locations in each component and allows inspection to be properly targeted
determines the risk of failure with time which provides the rational basis for establishing the optimum period between major inspections
Benefits in brief improved safety increased availability reduced inspection costs and risk of failure a true inspection/maintenance planning tool rather than only
a risk analysis tool
RISKWISE™
RISKWISE™ is a TWI software product
Key features user-friendly software, fully
transparent – ensures buy-in by users
audit team approach – accommodates plant experience
interfaces with existing inspection data management systems
time-based risk auditing module – equipment ranked by risk and remaining life
inspection frequency based on formal reliability rules – remaining life indicator (RLI) module
focus/defocus module – facilitates selection of optimum measure
fully auditable output – acceptability to insurers/regulators
Implementation approach RISKWISE™ can be applied to all types of process plants including oil/gas production facilities, oil refineries, gas plants, petrochemical and chemical plants. The following approach is normally adopted:
1. customise and populate software to the specified plant
2. install the software 3. training in the implementation and
functionality of the software 4. back-up consultancy support as
required.
Equipment requirement PC (stand-alone or networked) MS-Windows operating system (NT 4.0, or higher)
