Process Plant Inspection Page 1 of 7
Why Attend Facing competitive industry and strong global competition, it is critical that organizations gain the most from their equipment and plant, while protecting their life expectancies and reliability for return on investment. Plant operators can be stretched when challenged with unforeseen problems or when time-investment is required for long-term planning. The key is to identify the most cost-effective practical solutions using state-of-the-art assessment tools and techniques, while using Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) methodologies to protect workers and the environment. This practical but detailed course provides participants with an essential understanding of the engineering and management principles of plant inspection. Course Methodology The material used in the training course will be based on exercises as well as regional and international case studies. In addition to group discussions, participants will frequently work in pairs with one another as well as in larger teams. Course Objectives By the end of the course, participants will be able to: Apply the main principals of engineering inspection methods and conduct an effective plant inspection Explain what pressure equipment is and the inspection methods Identify standards and the governing legislation Implement safety and risk-based inspections Plan and run an effective inspection program Target Audience Participants wishing to gain an overview and understanding of plant inspection needs, techniques and requirements. Those working in operations, maintenance, commissioning and risk management, from planners and technicians through to engineers, contractors, supervisors and managers, will benefit from this course. This course is also suitable for those working in other industries/functions and wishing to transfer into plant inspection and seek a greater understanding. Target Competencies Engineering Inspection Methods Pressure Equipment Inspection Methods Safety Standards and Legislation Safety Inspections Risk-Based Inspections Course Outline Introduction to pressure equipment and associated facilities Introduction to pressure equipment Inspection of pressure vessels Inspection of pipelines Inspection of storage tanks Inspection of paint systems and linings Planning and reporting on inspections Inspection reporting Record keeping Use of codes and standards, legislation, rules and regulations Roles and duties of the plant inspector QA/Inspection Inspection and test plans Page 2 of 7
