 Condition History

45

Create a turnaround event with date (one year from today) at INSPxx-DISTILLING.
Copy and paste the link from IMS here

46

Vessel Inspection: Complete a Condition History for INSPxx-V-200 per the

following:

1)    Condition Date: Use current date

2)    Description: Internal Inspection

3)    Current Event: Turnaround

4)    Credit the Intrusive schedule for internal inspection

5)    Complete Appropriate Codes Templates

6)    Write the Narrative

7)    Create a CAIR to replace N-2 and N-3 at the 2023 turnaround.

8)    Approve the Equipment Condition History.

Inspection Findings: (Vessel was inspected during the Turnaround)

UT thickness readings were performed throughout.  A localized area in the shell near N-

1 was corroded below the renewal thickness.  Weld buildup was performed to a 60 sq. in or
390 cm2 area to bring this area back up to original thickness.

Nozzle N-4 was corroded and replaced in kind.  The remaining wall thickness was
only 0.381 cm / 0.15 in.  Nozzles N-2 and N-3 were also corroded but are estimated to
make the next turnaround.

Leak: Complete an Equipment Condition History per the following:

Equipment ID: INSPxx-PL-001                

Condition Date:  Use current date

1) Description: Leak at Elbow A01B

2) Complete Appropriate Code Template

3) Write the Narrative

4) Create appropriate CAIR to make permanent repair by 1/Feb/2022

5) Approve the Equipment Condition History

Details of the leak: 

INSPxx-PL-001 had a leak on the backside of the first elbow downstream of INSPxx-ES-

170A. The leak was a result of Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI). On the elbow was a
localized corroded area about 100 x 150 mm (3,9 x 5,9 in). The actual leak was a pit about
0.02 mm (less than 0.25 in) diameter. The insulation on this elbow had been damaged. A
Temporary Leak Repair was installed.

The RAM criticality for this equipment is Medium.  This pipe was part of the RBI process
and the mechanism was expected.

The leak was clamped. The elbow should be replaced by 1/Feb/2022. The total impact of
this leak was USD 110,000 (USD 10,000 to perform the repairs, and USD 100,000 process
loss).
