16.30 Reducing Down Times And Improving Energy Conservation With The Approach On Line Cryogenic Insulation Replacement
- Introducing the Live line/equipment cryogenic insulation system, specificallydesignedforapplicationunderoperatingplantconditions to avoid disruption of plant operation, fulfillingthehighest standards of quality and safety Introducing advantages for inspection owner user and “R” stamp accreditation
- Most of the pressure equipment in gas plants is ASME “U” stamped and any metallic repair/alteration requires to be carried by a “R” stamp accredited workshop followed by validation from a NBIC authorized TPI
- In view of the short time during shutdowns when the equipment may require this intervention, difficultiesarefacedformobilizing the resources due to logistic and administrative problems in the addition to the high expenses involved making the Owner user inspection organization accreditation and “R” stamp workshop accreditation from NBIC a cost effective and reliable solution
