Application of Risk-Based Engineering to Ammonia Storage Tanks

Determining an appropriate inspection strategy for ammonia storage tanks is complicated by the factors that contribute to ammonia stress corrosion cracking, primarily the effects of stress over time and exposure to oxygen. As such, the inspection strategy for ammonia storage tanks should find balance between the need for information and the potential for crack propagation. This webinar will discuss a multi-disciplinary approach to determining an appropriate inspection strategy for ammonia storage tanks. The multi-disciplinary approach utilizes both risk-based inspection (RBI) and fitness-for-service (FFS) to better understand an ammonia storage tank’s susceptibility to ammonia SCC. In addition to an overview of the methodology, a case study will be shared.
What You Will Learn:
- Background on ammonia stress corrosion cracking
- Inspection strategy concerns for ammonia storage tanks
- Multi-disciplinary approach (RBI + FFS) to determine recommended inspection strategy of ammonia storage tanks
- Real-world application via case study
