Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
In this paper, inspection planning based on the risk in the bottom component of stabilizer tower operated in natural gas plant is analyzed using level I consequence analysis technique found in API 581 standard. Firstly, data required for identifying the hazards from operating this type of equipment are gathered and tabulated. Then, the probability of failure based on the types of corrosion damage mechanism for pressure vessels is studied. After that, the types of fluid and operating conditions are identified and evaluated in order to identify the consequences which may occur. Finally based on time and inspection effectiveness, risk estimation is carried out for optimizing inspection planning in-order to reduce risk level in case if it is not acceptable or to avoid conservativeness in inspection planning if the risk level is tolerable or broadly acceptable.
