Suitability-for-Service and Fitness-for-Service: Tools for Integrity Management of Fixed Equipment

Suitability-for-Service and Fitness-for-Service: Tools for Integrity Management of Fixed Equipment
When: Tuesday, April 25, 2023 at 6:00 PM
Where: Tulsa, OK

This presentation will highlight how Suitability-for-Service (SFS) and Fitness-for-Service (FFS) engineering strategies can be applied to improve and optimize the management of fixed equipment with a focus on equipment around pipelines. SFS is often applied to reverse-engineer equipment lacking the required documentation to establish a design rating. Meanwhile, FFS technology is used to assess damage and further define equipment remaining life. Together these two tools give a practitioner the flexibility to address a wide variety of fixed equipment issues ranging from in-service deterioration to inadequate initial design. This presentation will have a particular focus on air-cooled heat exchangers in gas processing facilities. Case studies will be provided for the demonstration of these engineering tools.
