Corrosion Control Documents: One High Priority Approach to Minimizing Failures of Fixed Equipment

摘要

For those who have finished reading all ten articles on the necessary Pressure Equipment Integrity & Reliability (PEI&R) Management Systems recently published in the Inspectioneering Journal, you already know that there is not just "one key" to minimizing failures of fixed equipment in a process plant. There are 101 essential elements of maintaining PEI&R and Ten PEI&R Management Systems to make sure that they all stay under control. But one primary key stands out as a critical foundation block in the PEI&R work process. In those previous articles in the Inspectioneering Journal, I mentioned several of the most important work processes that can be accomplished in order to minimize the chances of unanticipated failures/leaks/ruptures of fixed equipment from in-service damage mechanisms. But perhaps the most important work process to achieve success in fixed equipment PEI&R is to create Corrosion Control Documents (CCD's) for each process unit. In this article, I expand upon that work process in order to guide the interested owner-user in creating CCD's for their process units.
