Application of Mechanical Integrity for Facilities Regulated by 49 CFR 192 & 193

Product Number: 51324-21134-SG

Static pressure equipment mechanical integrity (MI) is most typically associated with OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) as regulated under the Department of Labor. Facilities regulated under the Department of Transportation (DOT) including applicable natural gas and liquefied natural gas are not subject to PSM regulations including the implementation of MI management programs. Nevertheless, MI methodologies such as those prescribed in API 510 and 570 offer a suitable framework for integrity management of DOT-regulated pipeline natural gas facilities such as compressor stations, metering and regulation station, LNG Facilities. These MI methodologies can be implemented to provide appropriate engineering solutions considering typical facilities characteristics including materials of construction, operating processes, and integrity threats and satisfy current DOT integrity management regulation.

Digitalized Corrosion Control Documents for Enhanced Refinery Mechanical Integrity and Reliability

Product Number: MECC23-20026-SG

Author: Sridhar Srinivasan; Gerrit Buchheim

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Refinery operations, characterized by significant process complexities, have traditionally remained as a domain where accurate asset integrity and life prediction have been difficult to achieve. Such difficulty stems from the need to characterize and manage corrosion across different critical process units and parameters; quantifying corrosion has thus become a key factor in ensuring asset integrity, and absence of appropriate corrosion management strategies has often been the cause of some of the most destructive and expensive corrosion failures. Managing corrosion in refineries is a complex task, given the engineering intricacies associated with the processes and operations.

Systematic Approach toward Damage Mechanism Reviews and Mechanical Integrity Improvements for Ammonia Synthesis and Fertilizer Facilities

Product Number: 51323-19349-SG

The use of Damage Mechanisms (DM’s) has been successfully developed and applied in the Oil Refining
industry for over 20 years. A damage mechanism is a specific combination of mechanical, chemical,
physical, or other processes that result in equipment degradation (piping or equipment) during operation
(active or shut down). These have been defined for Oil Refining (API RP 5711). API RP 571 is
supplemented with some similar and some specific individual damage mechanism, by technical reports, recommended practices, publications, and bulletins from API, as well as from the National Association of
Corrosion Engineers (NACE - now known as the Association for Materials Protection and Performance
or AMPP), and the Welding Research Council (WRC).
