The Certified Oil & Gas Quality Management Professional (COGQMP) certification program is a prestigious credential aimed at equipping professionals with the expertise needed to excel in the quality management domain within the oil and gas industry. In a sector where precision, safety, and efficiency are […]
In the process control industry, safeguarding is particularly important when it comes to the installation of safety apparatus and systems. To design effective safety mechanisms, however, you must have a comprehensive understanding of safety requirements and solutions, safety standards, process control, and fieldbuses, a relatively […]
Safety Instrumented Systems (IS) are installed to monitor the values and parameters of a plant in order to trigger alarms and position the plant in a safe condition in the event of a risk condition. In order to determine precisely how much effort to invest […]
CHAZOP is a structured technique for identifying hazards associated with instrument control and computer systems. CHAZOP is performed to investigate the types of failure modes of a new system to ensure that this new system will not result in unsafe plant operation and that adequate […]
Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) is an engineering paradigm for defining a comprehensive maintenance strategy consisting of the process of assuring that machinery continues to perform the functions that a user may require in a particular operating environment. RCM is the central component of cradle-to-grave asset integrity […]
The planning and management of start-ups and shut-downs in a process plant environment are becoming more complex and demanding; this course will explain and illustrate all these essential stages. To avoid unanticipated risks and costly delays, plant shutdowns and resume operations must be meticulously planned, […]
API 580 is a recommended practice developed by the American Petroleum Institute that provides guidance for establishing, implementing, and maintaining Risk-Based Inspection (RBI). It prioritizes safety and dependability through risk-based inspection. In the oil and gas industry, AIBM’s API 580 – Risk-Based Inspection exam preparation […]
API 579 – Fitness-for-Service (FFS) evaluations are quantitative engineering assessments performed to demonstrate the structural integrity of pressurized equipment in service that may have a defect or damage. The guidelines of this standard can be used to make “Run-Repair-Replace” decisions, and if the equipment is […]
Structural Integrity Management is one of the primary branches of engineering that ensures the dependability of a structure or structural component, thereby defining its primary function under normal conditions. Even if conditions exceed those specified in the original design, it must be guaranteed that a […]
RBI is a mechanism for risk-based prioritization and management of an inspection program’s activities. Typically, a small proportion of a plant’s equipment carries a disproportionate quantity of its risk. This inspection technique permits a change in inspection and maintenance resources to provide a higher level […]
