DAMAGE MECHANISMS FOR REFINERIES AND HYDROCARBON PROCESSING
OVERVIEW
This three day advanced course also aims to provide the participants with a thorough understanding of:
- The various damage mechanisms that can affect fixed equipment.
- The type and extent of damage that can be expected.
- How this knowledge can be applied to the selection of effective inspection methods to detect size and characterize damage.
More than 66 damage mechanisms are to be discussed during this course, each of which can occur to process equipment in refineries and hydrocarbon processing. The course includes an in-depth discussion of the damage mechanisms, susceptible materials of construction, critical factors, selection of appropriate inspection methods and control factors. This course discusses different types of damage mechanisms in separate sections. Each section gives a description of the mechanism, a list of materials that are susceptible, guidelines for inspection and prevention/mitigation measures.
