This program is focused on API 581 methodology, attendees will get a deep understanding not only in the Risk Based Inspection theory but also they will learn how to determine the probability of failure (for different damage mechanisms), the consequence of failure, risk progression, and how to create the recommended risk mitigation activities.
The Attendees also will learn how to create a typical database with the mandatory input usually required by the RBI tools available in the market.
The instructor will explain how to set, manage and use different risk targets to successfully implement and maintain an RBI within your assets, and how to reduce the risk by using the concept of next inspection date instead of the traditional fixed inspection dates.
