RBI Implementation for Process Plant Piping- A Case Study Using an Optimized Approach

This article shares the experience of ADNOC LNG following a structured RBI approach for piping groups. Piping was grouped based on process systems, corrosion circuits, PWHT application, corrosion allowances, and representative fluids. Then, RBI assessments were done to establish a representative line for the group while assessment results of risk and mitigation plans were copied to the remaining piping within the group.

Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) as a tool for managing risks -beyond inspection plans

The intention of this paper is to show a full risk management application for the RBI methodology beyond the inspection plans as well as to propose a methodology for risk index calculation, taking advantage of the large amount of information generated by the risk analysis developed in inspection planning. This paper will show the risk reduction in terms of risk to the population and people inside a process plant (workers), represented by the risk contours and F-N curves.
