Through the application of RBI analysis, process variables and materials of construction are considered to identify the type of damage that can lead to failure, where it may occur, the frequency of inspections that should take place, and appropriate and cost-effective inspection techniques. As a result, items with a high probability of failure and subsequent impact are given a higher priority for inspection than items that are of low impact, allowing for a more rational application of inspection resources. The entire process results in focusing resources on specific assets that are most likely to pose a risk to the facility.

Marindotech’s Risk-Based Inspection methodology and Risk Directed Mechanical Integrity Program (RDMIPTM) software continues to expand and grow as companies around the world experience the benefits associated with our world class RBI system. The program is used on all continents by large and medium sized refineries, petrochemical, and chemical facilities.

Marindotech provides Risk-Based Inspection software, training, reviews, and support for client RBI programs. We also provide the personnel necessary to complete a turnkey RBI analysis program which, experience has shown, is usually the quickest and most cost-effective approach when all costs are considered. We normally suggest that clients begin with a pilot study of approximately 100 to 200 pressure vessels. Based on the results of the pilot study, you are able to evaluate the results and benefits and are provided a clear idea of the resources required to undertake a complete facility assessment.
