Cognascents specializes in providing comprehensive solutions to enhance operational safety, mitigate risks, and ensure the long-term reliability of your assets. Our extensive knowledge in the requirements outlined in API 970, coupled with our expertise in asset integrity management, enables us to offer targeted strategies and measures to identify where corrosion can occur and optimize corrosion control measures to safeguard your assets.
Corrosion Control Documents are comprehensive guidelines and procedures aimed at managing and mitigating corrosion, which is an essential component of asset integrity management. The CCD outlines preventive measures, inspection techniques, maintenance procedures, material selection, and corrosion mitigation strategies.
Integrity Operating Windows are predetermined operating limits and conditions within which systems, equipment and processes can operate to maintain the desired level of integrity. These limits are based on engineering analysis, industry standards, such as API 584, and operational experience to ensure safe and reliable operations. After defining these operating parameters, organizations can monitor and control these parameters within the defined IOW, helping them proactively manage risks, prevent equipment failures, and maintain the integrity and age of critical assets.
Our approach to CCD and IOW development starts with a comprehensive assessment of your assets, considering their specific characteristics, operating conditions, and historical corrosion data. Our team of experts analyzes the collected information to develop customized CCDs and define appropriate IOWs tailored to your specific needs.
The CCD includes a corrosion management plan that outlines proactive measures, such as coatings, cathodic protection, and chemical treatments, to prevent or minimize corrosion. It also incorporates regular inspection and monitoring programs to detect any signs of corrosion and degradation, enabling timely identification and monitoring.
IOWs are established based on a thorough engineering analysis of equipment limits, environmental conditions, process variables, and safety requirements. By defining the acceptable ranges for key parameters, such as pressure, temperature, flow rates, and chemical concentrations, IOWs provide operators with clear guidelines to ensure safe and efficient operation while mitigating integrity threats.
