The goal | The objective of the course is to give students an introduction to possible equipment failures in the process industry facilities, causes and consequences of the failure occurrence. Students will learn about up-to-date methods and devices for safe service assurance and failure prevention. | |||
The outcome | Through the planned syllabus, analysis of the examples from industry and project assignment, students gain necessary knowledge about the procedures for preventing different types of failures of process equipment. Students will be able to apply this knowledge in every-day engineering practice. | |||
Contents | ||||
Contents of lectures | Introductory considerations. Overview of technical regulations in the field of pressure equipment safety assurance. Concept of supervising inspection. ; Safety assurance in equipment design and manufacturing. Control of design solution and material. Reliable service assurance of separable and inseparable material joints. Pressure testing. Creating technical documentation. Overview of safety devices: selection of design solution and different ways of installation. ; Causes of damage and possible failure of equipment in exploitation. Failures caused by mechanical, thermal, corrosion and combined effects of working media. Equipment maintenance, application of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods. ; Defining the risk of equipment failure. Quantitative representation and risk monitoring: forming the risk map and matrix. “Leak before break” concept for pressure equipment. ; Application of R5 and R6 procedures for assessment of failure possibility, failure assessment diagram (FAD). Basics of SINTAP (Structural Integrity Assessment Procedure), as a procedure for estimation of structural integrity adopted in the European Union. | |||
Contents of exercises | Analysis of examples of equipment failure in chemical process industry, power plants and pharmaceutical industry. Computational exercises contain examples of safety assurance: calculation of safety devices, numerical analysis of damage initiation and failure of pressure equipment, application of the risk concept, determining the integrity of the structures, where damage is determined using NDT methods, by R5 and R6 procedures and SINTAP Fitness-for-Service demonstration software package. | |||
