TCR Advanced (India) announces a two-day intensive course on "Ammonia tanks Integrity management and inspection challenges" on 16 -17 October 2015 at Vadodara.
Opening a low temperature ammonia tank for inspection is critical call as it is compromise between a need for condition assessment of tank and the negative effects of thermal stress and ingress of oxygen. It is known fact that decommissioning and re-commissioning tends to increase the risk for SCC initiation. The failure of ammonia tanks can be catastrophic and disastrous leading to long term and short-term effects. Integrity of ammonia tank is therefore very crucial. The world has learned from mistakes from the past incidents. Increasing regulatory requirements imposes new challenges for integrity assessment of these tanks. Assessment of integrity of ammonia tank is therefore critical and calls for risk-based approach. RBI approach to structural integrity calculations helps in defining most appropriate inspection methods, Determination of tank monitoring requirements including internal and external inspection aspects and prevention or minimization of a tank leak or failure.
Different storage tank applications have unique conditions that must be considered when evaluating the tanks. It is therefore very important that experienced and competent engineers and inspectors required for integrity assessment. This unique course, first time in India is primarily focuses in providing insights to damage mechanisms associated with Ammonia tank, application of RBI to improve integrity of tanks and a platform to discuss issues with experts in the field of reliability engineering with global expertise.
Awareness with RBI assessment can provide longer duration for inspection with increased confidence to maintaining Ammonia tanks. This is a must course to cope with the latest trends and knowledge in ammonia tank integrity management. Your early confirmation will help you to secure the registration for this unique course.
