Reliability Is More Critical Than Ever
Before In This New Oil Price
Paradigm , Ageing Assets, Tighter
Regulations , Competitions from
FLNG / Shale gas, others non
renewable resources &
Environmental Protection Threat etc.
Ageing equipment if not being taken care, either they will kill us or get killed themselves
High Temperature Sulfidation
Ф52” just upstream of bend ruptured
Low Silicon CS
Tesoro Refinery, 2 Apr
2010, six fatalities
Thinning & Over pressurization
Shock Condensation & UDCBadly failed after 11 months of operation
CLSCC
Integrated Integrity
of Entire Plant from
cradle to grave
Change Reactive to Proactive Culture
We, as Site management be passionate in
overcoming the organizational inertia built
around a reactive culture. In the past, companies
that were successful in making the proactive
transition were under intense economic pressure
- they had to become reliable or go out of
business. If management energy is removed, the
culture will quickly return to being reactive.
For the proactive culture to
survive over the long term, it
takes significant management
energy as well as a strong
commitment from all levels of
the organization
Solar
Potential
 China producing 17 percent of the world's solar capacity and expanded
five times since 2012.
 China building a 10 square mile solar farm in the Gobi desert, as part of a
$83 billion investment plan.
 India building the world's biggest solar plant of $596 million
 French’ building 1,000 KM of 'solar roads‘ that will provide power for 5
million people.
 Apple is investing nearly $1 billion.
 Google has invested $300 million.
 Wal-Mart's investment is so enormous and cost-effective – the global
retailer will save $1 billion annually on energy costs.
 U.S. Department of Defense, the largest energy consumer in the world,
has committed $7 billion in one solar project.
Solar Highlights : Many countries turning to solar power
Thank YOU

Editor's Notes

  1. Ageing management is cradle to grave life cycle process in the entire journey of asset / facility from it’s design to decommissioning. A plant which is no longer considered fully fit for purpose due to age related deterioration in it’s integrity or functional performance called ageing plant. Some facility are born sick during it’s initial operation itself. Some facility failed before it’s design life due to abuse in design , construction, start up and operation stage called premature ageing. Some facility performs satisfactory till it’s design without fail called as normal ageing and may have further life after expiry. Ageing of the facility depends upon “how it is being designed, constructed , operated and maintained “
