If you work in a refinery and you came from a process area it is an advantage for you. First I will strongly recommend you to study the API Guide for refinery inspection, then try to read anterior inspection reports if available. Get as much information as possible from operation reports. Get as much information as possible from process operators. Try to define the most critical components of your process. Then define hypothetical degradation mechanisms. Then chose the right NDT to check for those degradation mechanisms. Then make a checklist for visual inspection of all equipment components. At last make an inspection plan. Implement a risk base inspection programme based on API RP 580

Fred Most refineries have built-in inspection system and schedules unless it is a green field project where you have to establish new RBI and new inspection procedures. Most large corporate refinery groups have their own internal engineering and inspection standards. You have to follow these systems and procedures already available in the refinery. API guideline for refinery inspection is a standard in which individual corporate refinery group have devised their own standards and inspection schedules for plant inspection. You have to follow this. Current trend is to incorporate RBI (Risk Based Inspection) assessment for even old refinery units. Daily, weekly, monthly, half yearly and annual inspection activities are covered fully in such system oriented refinery inspection programmes both in old and new green-field refinery set up.

Hi If you dont have the inspection program as other colleage have adviced, the you should classify the equipments in your plant based on the risk or the available history/Data, then try te set the program of inspection. here some way of how to classify the equipments GRADATION OF THE EQUIPMENTS: Grade 0: The following equipments shall be graded 0- New Equipments Equipments having high rate of corrsion / erosion. Grade 1: Equipments having corrosion / erosion as damage mechanism. Little knowledge about damage mechanism or impact on the life of the equipment. Grade 2: %E2%80%A2Corrosion / Erosion rates are reasonably low. %E2%80%A2Knowledge about the condition and life of the equipment is available. Grade 3 %E2%80%A2Corrosion / Erosion rates are very low. %E2%80%A2Knowledge about the conditions and life of the equipment is known accurately.
