AIM projects Carried out by EC



Lloyd Alman’s EC group is well organize

to carry out AIM projects

An asset has integrity when it performs and is being operated and maintained as specified so that the Risk to people, Environ-ment, Assets and most importantly to Company Reputation arising from its failure is as Low as Reason-ably practicable (ALARp).

the goal of Asset Integrity Management is to ensure that technical Integrity is maintained, In other words, Inspection, Corrective and preventive Maintenance be-ing performed and wrapped as planned punctually.

In order to manage RBI projects, the following disciplines are consid-ered by the gL’s EC group:

What is Asset Integrity Management (AIM)?

What is Risk Based Inspection?o Risk Based Inspection is the application of Risk Analysis principles to develop and manage inspection programs for a plant.o It functions by understanding the Deterioration Modes and Mechanisms to develop Effective non-destructive Inspection techniques to detect and moni-tor Deterioration Rates.o the goal of RBI is to develop Cost-effective Inspection and Maintenance programs that provide assurance of acceptable technical Integrity, Reliability and Availability.

Why perform Risk Based Inspection?o there is a premise within Industry that only 10% of Operating Equipment contributes to 90% of the RISK Level which will need constant company attention.o If the 10% of Operating Equipment that is Higher Risk can be identified; Inspection, Monitoring and preventive Maintenance efforts can be more focused and will result in Reduced Costs and Higher Equipment technical Integrity, Reliability and Availability.oUnderstanding Deterioration Modes and Mechanisms for Operating Equipment helps define the most Effective Inspection and Maintenance techniques which Increase the Chance of failure Detection.o RISK Mitigation measures can be identified and imple-mented either by training of personnel, Automated Monitoring, Improved Detection System or protection etc.


Benefits of RBI:

- Significant Reduction in total Costs of Inspection

- Increased facility Availability

- Improved Reliability

- focused Inspection on High Risk Equipment

- Increased Intervals Between Inspections

- Shorter and fewer facility Shutdowns

- Clear Understanding of High Risk Equipment

- Ability to Implement Mitigation Measures

- Identifying Deterioration Modes and Mechanisms

RISK Management:Mathematically being the multiplication of Consequence of failure

and probability of failure, it can be displayed on a 5x5 Matrix

AIMS: An Asset Integrity Management Software

AIMS is versatile RBI engineering software designed to meet the RBI concepts delivered in ApI 580 & 581 recommended practices along with practical experience. AIMS offers a broad range of facilities to manage the risk within a plant to keep its continued safe and economic operation.

Covered Standards in the software:

• RBI standards: API 580 and API 581 2008 • Design Standards: API 650, API 5L, ASME Sec II ASME sec. VIII, ASME B 31.1, ASME B 31.3. • Inspection Standards: - ApI 570, ApI 510 - ApI 653, ApI 571 - ASME Sec V.


1. Maintains facility Design Mechanical

Modules Available: features of AIMS Software:

2. Maintains facility process Data


4.Customizable Risk threshold based on the company’s tolerable risk Level.

3. Displaying Risk:

• Risk is displayed on a Matrix which can be customized to clients preference:• Standard 5x5 API type Risk Matrix• Numerical Risk• Graphical Risk

5. Risk also displayed on the Drill Down Asset Hierarchy with “drill down” Risk Colouring to each indi-vidual equipment tag• Presentation of Overall Risk Matrix for a plant, unit etc with the ability to enlist the related equipment with certain risk category

6. probability of failure:• Automatic Calculation of API 581 Damage Factors for Thinning, Cracking, creep, HTHA damage mechanisms, CUI, External damage etc.


8. Monitoring Data Management:• Corrosion Monitoring Results by NDE, UT, RT, CP, CC etc. maintained and utilized to determine Remaining Life and update of the probability of failure Data and subsequently Risk

7. Consequence of failure:Input Data and selection of represenatative fluids in accordance to ApI 581

• Automatic Calculation of Flammable, Equipment Damage and Toxic Areas• Ability to calculate Financial Consequence for environmental impacts, maintenance and Loss of production

• Visual trend for short term and long term loss of thickness accoriding to actual UTWT or Corrosion coupon measurements


9. graphical presentation of Risk trend

10. pSVs and tube Bundle Risk Assessment via WEibull Statisitical analysis according to ApI 581 - 2008

12. Document Management• Documents such as Autocad Drawings, PDF Files, Word and Excel format information capable of being linked at all levels of the Asset Hierarchy. • Photographs of equipment capable of being linked to the equipment Tag.

11. technical IntegritySoftware is capable of displaying and reporting technical Integrity, preventive Maintenance and Corrective Maintenance status in a colour coded Asset Hierarchy

• Determination of the Optimised Next Inspection Due Date (Preventive Maintenance) with the limit of Half Life set by ApI 570 and 510.
