Plant Integrity

Today as never before, offshore FPSO, onshore refining and petrochemical operations are being challenged to improve their competitiveness whilst also improving their safety and environmental performance.

With tight margins, ageing assets and plant accidents in the recent years has brought awareness for a need to improve plant safety practices not only for stakeholders but also to the general public. However, businesses face a range of risks that are far broader than accidents and incidents that may cause physical harm.

Risk encompasses anything that will adversely affect the performance of the business. People who work in the refining and petrochemical industries are well aware of the potential risks to health, safety and the environment. Under these circumstances, condition monitoring of the critical operating assets such as pressure vessels, process piping systems, pipelines, tanks, or highly corrosive critical structures by an independent third party at frequent times is crucial.
