The document discusses asset integrity and API inspections. It notes that the average age of facilities is 10-20 years old and outlines inspection requirements for pressure vessels, tanks, and piping systems according to API standards. Regular inspections are important to monitor for wear and potential failures as assets age in order to maintain safety. The document emphasizes that all moving parts will eventually wear out and inspections are needed to assess conditions rather than assume expectations.
