16 CONDITION & REMAINING LIFE ASSESSM

The boiler and its components are built with assumed nominal design and reasonable life of operation of about two to three decades (one or two hundred thousand hours). These units are generally replaced or their life is extended at the end of this period. Under normal operating conditions, and after an initial period of teething troubles, the reliability of these units remains fairly constant up to about two decades of normal operation. The failure rate is then increased as a result of their time dependent material damage. Further running of these units may become un-economical and dangerous in some cases. By initiating timely preventive measures and by way of proper maintenance refurbishment actions, it is possible to retain these units in service safely, reliably and economically for many more years. A life extension program comes in handy here. One of the most important steps involved in life extension strategies is the assessment of the remaining life of the existing components so that required timely refurbishment steps can be introduced to extend the plant life. Remaining Life Assessment (RLA) becomes a necessary evil.

MENT of BOILERS (CARLA)

17

Recommendations: Based on the findings and analysis of the test results a 3R decision is made to either Run the boiler, Repair the boiler or Rerate the boiler for safe operation and enhancement of boiler efficiency.

Various tests that are carried out for the CARLA are. Collection of background data and operating history of boiler. Thorough Visual Examination by a boiler expert. Swell test or dimensional check. Collection of deposits and scales for laboratory analysis. Insitu oxide thickness measurements. WFMT/PT of selected critical weld joints. Detailed thickness survey. Reporting The final report is generated with all the test results analyzed and evidence of damage recorded. Recommendations are made to attain longer, more reliable and safer operations of the boiler.

20 CORROSION UNDER SUPPORT (CUS) TESTING

DACON Inspection Services has launched a new inspection tool for accurately measuring Corrosion under Support (Dacon CuS). It is indeed an achievement for the companys in-house R&D department to develop and successfully field test this new and critical tool. Dacon has been encouraged by support from major oil and gas companies to develop new technologies for the oil & gas industry. The basis for the development of the CuS tool was to be able to inspect and accurately verify hidden areas (under pipe supports, clamps and similar areas) with a technology that allowed for direct measurement and reporting in millimetre remaining wall thickness on a similar basis to conventional Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement (UTM).

Dacon CuS tool has the capability to accurately detect and measure remaining wall thickness in areas such as : Under Support (hidden areas) Under Riser Clamps/Hanging Clamps Under Pipe or Vessel Doubling/Support Plates Through Tar Wrapped Pipes Without Removing Wrapping. Under EPDM Coating Without Removing the Coating. Other Areas Where Access to Parent Material is Limited by an Obstruction. The tool is offered as a service and provides: Accurate and quick measurements Battery operated, compact and lightweight equipment for easy mobilization Rugged design for extreme conditions Offshore trial tested in early 2011

22 INTELLIGENT PIGGING & PIPELINE SERV

Dacon Pipeline Services provides Intelligent Pigging/In Line Inspection (ILI) for all kinds of materials for pipelines. The ultra high resolution ultrasonic tools can detect and size any pipeline corrosion, be it in a sub sea, underground, insulated or exposed pipeline, riser or process piping. The tools are small, lightweight and easy to mobilize. Insertion into pipe can be done both with and without pig launcher. The pigs are all bi-directional, which means they can be pushed back the same way it entered a pipe, making them ideal for un-piggable lines. Pipeline thickness is measured with accuracy better then +/- 0.1 mm. All defects are described by depth, length and width. Full API 570 analysis, with life time prediction, RBI, FFS, MAOP or any other Integrity based evaluation available. Inspection results are presented immediately after the pig run and clients are given the raw data and analyz ing software free of charge.
