Asset Integrity Program
An effective Asset Integrity (AI) program is one of the most important programs for a facility handling hazardous chemicals. Losses due to poor asset or mechanical integrity programs are the leading cause of losses for the industry. Additionally, the implementation of AI programs has had historic problems with:
- Utilization of Recognized and Generally Accepted Good Engineering Practices (RAGAGEP)
- Linking equipment failure modes to the proper inspection/testing strategies and preventative maintenance (ITPM) programs,
- Setting ITPM schedules based on degradation rates/operational performance and an evaluation of risk
- Utilizing degradation and incident data to optimize and leverage ITPM Solutions
All resulting in sub-par performance for loss of primary containment and asset utilization.
Chemical Process Safety and Risk Management Solutions can help develop and optimize your AI program to:
- Identify and utilize Recognized and Generally Accepted Good Engineering Practices–OSHA Memorandum on RAGAGEP Enforcement
- Identify the proper ITPM for all types of equipment
- Leverage ITPM Strategies and Schedules
- Evaluate Fitness for Service
- Reduce and eliminate loss of primary containment incidents and the potential for personnel exposure
- Positively impact asset utilization and the bottom line.
