WS 2: Asset Management Through Asset Integrity Management

Dr. Ahmed Danish

PhD, CMRP, CRE

Asset Management Through Asset Integrity Management

Prioritize asset integrity and process safety through a holistic asset management approach.

October 5, 2023 | 0830 - 0300 pm | Room 2

Overview

Most large industrial entities today focus on asset integrity and process safety. Unfortunately, the understanding of those two terms is lacking and will only be focused on physical integrity if not viewed through the holistic asset management process.

The value aspired through the asset management initiatives like ISO 55000 will not be realized without taking a step back and seeing the true focus of what is needed to be successful.

This workshop aims at clarifying this misconception through allowing participants to build a road map to success by utilizing the full spectrum of AIMS tools needed to achieve a balanced strategic asset management plan (SAMP); which is the cornerstone of successful asset management.

Who Should Attend: This workshop is tailored for professionals, decision-makers, and teams engaged in industrial asset management, process safety, and strategic planning. Whether you’re an operations manager, a maintenance engineer, or a risk assessment specialist, this workshop will empower you to navigate the intricate landscape of asset management.

 

Course Outline:

1 – Introduction to the elements of AIMS

2 – Understanding the difference between Criticality, Residual Risk and Risk priority and their utilization

3 – Introduction to the requirements of developing a SAMP as per the requirements of ISO 55000

4 – Understanding Failure Modes and Effects Analysis and tying the results to correct mitigation strategy selection.

5 – Case Study: Building a strategic SAMP by using AIMS elements

We are accepting abstracts on the outlined topics and other related topics that fall within the conference theme.

Businesses have a one-of-a-kind chance to display their goods and services to a targeted audience of asset performance management and asset dependability professionals from diverse industries at the APM 4.0 LEADCon 2023 – Leadership, Engineering, Advantage.

Conference themes are broad topics that serve as the overarching focus of a conference or event. Understanding the conference theme and related topics can help attendees determine which sessions and presentations will be most relevant and beneficial for them to attend.

The APM LEADCon 2023 is the event for discussion of best practices for managing crucial assets in the new normal. Attendees will gain knowledge about Asset and Risk Management, Asset Integrity, RAM and Maintenance Management, and Leadership and Competence from experts in their fields, practitioners, and leaders of professional bodies who will be presenting. Additionally, the conference will offer workshops, networking chances for vendors, and cooperation opportunities.

Proper Use of Vibration Transducers for Monitoring and Diagnostics of Plant Assets

Vibration sensors such as: proximity, velocity and accelerometer are used for measuring vibration. Proper selection of these sensors for specific applications is important to obtain correct vibration readings and problem diagnosis. Proximity transducer also called Eddy current probe or non-contact displacement transducer is used for monitoring the bearing clearance usage in a journal bearing. Journal bearings such as plain or tilting pad bearings are found in medium and large rotating machinery e.g. steam-turbine-generators, hydro-generators in Power Generation plants. They are also found in steam-turbine-compressors in the Oil & Gas industry. Linearity testing of proximity transducers is important to ensure that the readings displayed in the DCS or SCADA and Vibration Monitor are accurate to avoid false alarms and trips that may result in loss of production or profit and penalties from government. Also, most plants do not check the rotor shaft material of the machine and work only on the assumption that it is 4140 steel equivalent where a standard proximity transducer is calibrated. Now-a-days, smart transducers are available that come with configuration software to compensate or program the driver for various types of rotor shaft material.
