Refining & Petrochem

Integrity Engineering Solutions offer Asset Integrity Management services to ensure the integrity and reliability of fixed equipment throughout the life cycle of Refining and Petrochem plants.

During the design phase IES can provide services, including mechanical design, reliability engineering, materials engineering, welding and fabrication support, and threat and risk analysis to assist in ensuring safe and reliable designs for both greenfield and brownfield projects.

With low margins and high consequences, the Refining and Petrochem industries rely on effective corrosion management, risk-based inspection, bolted joint integrity, and fitness for service assessments to manage the asset integrity whilst keeping equipment and units online. During turnaround or maintenance activities IES can provide support in the preparation of inspection scope, failure criteria and action plans, including welding, fabrication and repair support, in order to minimize schedule and cost impacts due to unforeseen inspection findings. Integrity Engineering Solutions is experienced in all these key Asset Integrity Management services.

The issue of pressure boundary bolted flanged joint (BFJ) leakage has been significant for both of these industries and as unit pressures and temperatures continue to increase, it will likely continue to be an issue. Integrity Engineering Solutions has pioneered BFJ integrity methods and can offer a wide range of services to improve BFJ integrity, as outlined in the Bolted Flanged Joint section of this website.

Integrity Engineering Solutions can help you sustain and improve your Asset Integrity Management programs with our AIM Audits, Root Cause and Failure Analysis, Technology Development and Training services.

For new developments and improvement to existing fixed equipment, our Advanced Analysis techniques, Technology Development, Joint Industry Projects, and R&D services allow our clients to push the design and operation envelopes.
