WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Review critical process data and determine effects on equipment / piping
• Develop mitigation plans and options to minimize corrosion (e.g. increase pipe diameter to slow velocity, resize drum to allow better separation, etc.)
• Manage or create corrosion control programs
• Review novel materials with Materials experts and assess for viability
• Identify degradation modes and materials parameters for use in risk assessments & RBI equipment strategy development
• Estimate a probability of failure for various degradation modes by reviewing historic inspection data, operating and service data, and industry and company guides
• Review erosion / corrosion rates and recommend follow-ups based on the inspection results
• Identify equipment operating envelope requirements to minimize corrosion
• Review site changes and identify impacts to materials degradation and inspection
• Establish piping circuits and assign EDDs to the circuits
• Review current TMLs and optimize locations and inspection frequency
