The asset integrity management process is being transformed by digital transformation as the energy industry evolves.
Fremont, CA: Every day, operators worldwide seek strategies to maximize asset output while maintaining asset integrity at a cost-effective rate. Asset integrity management (AIM) is relevant in this scenario. With AIM, you can verify that equipment continues to fulfill its intended function and performance while also ensuring that it is safe at the same time. Using these methods has been shown to reduce inspection, maintenance, and repair costs while also increasing plant resiliency and operating safety.
Here are some of the top trends in Asset Integrity Management:
Digitalization of operations
Operators may make safer and more cost-effective decisions utilizing real-time data that can be interpreted remotely using an industry 4.0 strategy and digitally analyzing operational data generated by assets, which typically take days or weeks to analyze.
Temporary repair methods and leak management
Leaks in pipelines pose a significant risk to the asset's integrity. Pipeline leak detection and repair procedures are digitalized to help operators reduce this risk. Drones, sensor networks, smart pigging, and dynamic modeling can all be used to do remote monitoring, which could eventually replace human techniques.
Internal corrosion modeling using cutting-edge technologies
Predicting internal corrosion, including pitting and Stress Corrosion Cracking can be done by using advanced technologies to develop digital models and simulations of assets (SCC). This includes everything from the selection of the right materials to implementing effective corrosion management and protection regime that includes prevention, control, and passivation of corrosion.
Static equipment integrity and machine dependability can both be improved using business intelligence (BI) solutions
Static equipment, such as storage tanks, pressure vessels, and pipelines, is critical to maintaining the integrity of your assets, and this helps to ensure their reliability. An accurate report can help you make key decisions and determine the next actions in your pipeline integrity management process to ensure that equipment is running safely at all times.
