Workshops

1. ISO15156 Use of Materials in H2S containing environments

The Background and development of the standard will be presented, together with the implications and differences from NACE MR0175 (pre ISO version).The workshop would cover the different cracking mechanisms, the applicable test methods and relevant acceptance criteria contained in the ISO. Important changes as published in the Corrigenda will also be presented.The various processes of Maintenance, Balloting and Enquiries would also be covered.


Dr. Chris Fowler
Global Director Corrosion and Chairman NACE Europe

Dr. Chris Fowler is Director of Bodycote Materials Testing, and Chairman NACE Europe. Dr. Chris also member of ISO 1516 Maintenance Panel.

He has a B.Sc., an M. Sc. and a PhD in Metallurgy from UMIST.  He is also a Chartered Engineer and is a Fellow of the Institute of Metals.  Dr. Fowler is currently Head of the Bodycote Corrosion Centre and his speciality field is Materials Selection and Testing for Sour Service.  He is also heavily involved with the EFC working parties on materials for sour service, and recently completed the revision of EFC 17.

 


2. Corrosion Monitoring

This corrosion monitoring workshop will cover some of the theory but mainly the practical aspects of on-line corrosion monitoring technology.  The first part of the presentation will cover the various techniques available for monitoring corrosion and related parameters, based on the NACE Technical Committee report 3T199.  These techniques range from on-line monitoring to inspection techniques.  Their comparative benefits and limitations are compared.  The second part of the workshop will cover a description and demonstration of on-line and data logging advanced corrosion monitoring equipment using high resolution Microcor metal loss and electrochemical measurements.  The third part of the workshop will cover a demonstration of on-line insertion and retrieval equipment for on-line corrosion probes, coupons, and chemical injection.  The final part will cover the latest development in wireless corrosion monitoring transmitters for process plant use as part of the Emerson Wireless process control systems.

The workshop is designed for engineers and technicians who need to increase their knowledge of on-line corrosion monitoring technologies and their implementation and use in the practical field environment to obtain effective results.


Allan Perkins

Product Manager for Rohrback Cosasco Systems, world’s leading supplier of corrosion monitoring equipment.  First Class Honors Degree in Mechanical Engineering, and Masters in Engineering Design.  NACE Task Group Chairman that prepared the State-of-the-Art report 3T199 for Assessment of Corrosion in Field Applications.  ASTM Committee Chairman for Standard Guide G96 On-Line Monitoring of Corrosion in Plant Equipment.  Educated in the UK and spent 10 years in the UK power plant industry, and 10 years in instrumentation before moving to the USA in 1982 to join COSASCO which merged with Rohrback in 1984. Now responsible for systems, and product development.


3. The Composite Repair
(Sponsored by ESR Technology Ltd. on behalf of ACORES, the association of composite repair suppliers)

The workshop will provide answers to the following introductory questions:

  • What are composite repairs?
  • What are the constituent materials of composite repairs?
  • What type of defects can be repaired?
  • What are the limiting temperature and pressures?

After these introductory questions have been answered, the following three main issues will be addressed:

  • How to qualify composite repairs?
  • What are the key aspects of installing composite repairs?
  • How to inspect both the composite repair and the underlying defect?

The answers to the above questions will be answered in part by a few short talks, some posters and some hands on exhibits.  There will also be exhibits from some selected suppliers of composite repairs providing samples and demonstrations of the latest developments in composite repair technology.


Dr. Simon Frost
GRP consultant

Dr. Simon Frost has worked with applications of composite materials in Exploration and Production environments within the Oil and Gas industry for the past 20 years. For the first 15 years he was employed by Shell International Exploration and Production working in The Hague, The Netherlands, as a materials and corrosion engineer with responsibility for the application of composite materials. For the past 6 years he has worked for ESR Technology Ltd, an engineering consultancy providing advice and guidance in the application of the composite materials.

Dr. Frost worked on many projects and development programmes involving composite materials. These projects ranged from buried pipelines to offshore piping systems. For example, he is currently the specialist GRP consultant for the cooling water project at Ras Laffan, Qatar. He is also involved in a development programme on the inspection and assessment of integrity for GRE piping systems.  

During his time with ESR Technology he has been chairman of 2 ISO committees working on composite materials. The first is composite repairs to pipe-work. This work was has led to the publication of the ISO technical specification, ISO/TS 24817 – composite repairs for pipe-work. The second is GRP piping, ISO 14692. This standard was published in 2002 and it use and experiences are currently being reviewed with the aim of publishing a revised version of ISO 14692 within the near future.

 


4. Plant Integrity Management

Asset owners are under continuing pressure to meet challenging performance targets in an increasingly competitive operating environment.  At the same time they must preserve the lifecycle value of the asset and meet stringent regulations in health, safety and environment.  They commit significant expenditure in maintaining performance, and losses resulting from under-performance or failure can be very substantial in terms of damage to people, the environment and the asset itself, as well as lost production. 

The objective of the workshop is to provide the participant the management and technical challenges of plant integrity and what is required to successfully execute a plant integrity management with complete organization buy-in.      

In the plant integrity management workshop, the topics of discussion will focus first and foremost on Asset Integrity and Reliability Management System (AIRMS).  AIRMS provides high level overview of the interrelationship from company policy to how equipment is maintained.  This will equip the decision makers with overall improvement and streamlining the business processes.

Critical to the overall asset integrity, the workshop will show case integrated softwares, ORBIT Onshore (RBI software) and ORBIT+ IDS (Data Management software).  It highlight how integration of these softwares provides synergy through data collection & data validation, configuration of risk matrices & acceptance criteria, job packing, development of inspection & maintenance plans etc.   These tools assist plant engineers to prioritize, prepare inspection plan, record inspection history, trending, and data tracking, decision making etc.


Teo Yong Seng
