Development of corrosion control document knowledge base system for the safety of refinery plants

摘要

This paper focuses on techniques of improving refinery reliability, availability andrnprofitability. Our team developed a corrosion control document (CCD) database systemrnfor refinery process. This system includes a method for defining and measuring therncomponent risk and it also provides a powerful tool for managing many of the importantrnelements of a refinery plant. The simulation has been applied for this system to find therncritical component without direct measurement and experiment. It is possible to expectrnthe risk parts of the refinery process.rnRecent study shows the loss due to corrosion in US is around $276 billion. It’s a bigrnconcern for both managers and engineers of refinery industry. Therefore it is essential tornmake the profitable and convenient system for refinery industry to improve reliability.rnCCD database system consists of numerous parts namely damage mechanism (DM),rndesign data, critical reliability variable (CRV), guidelines, etc. CCD database systemrnhas been developed on the basis of the corrosion control in refinery industry. It alsornimproves the safety of refinery process and reduces the cost of corrosion greatly.
