Your Plant ASSETS worth MILLIONS / BILLIONS Do Not Take Risks!!

Its also about Safety, Reliability, Availability & Minimizing Liability of Fixed Equipment
The course explains feasible means and alternatives for achieving a successful RBI program without undue complications. It deals with RBI framework and methodology in a simple straight forward manner to establish and implement a risk-based inspection program best suited for the company objectives. Its utility is based on the premise that a few vital pieces of equipment in a process plant contributes a majority of the risk. Consequently, if this high risk equipment can be identified, then testing and inspection can be focused on them rather than several low-risk items. RBI helps to prioritize equipment for inspection, optimize inspection methods and frequencies, and develop effective inspection plan commensurate with the risk contribution and equipment condition.
