COURSE OVERVIEW:

The fundamental meaning of this course is the systematic assurance that petrochemical plant assets remain "fit for purpose" and safe to operate throughout their entire lifecycle. Technical Integrity focuses on the hardware and engineering controls that prevent "Loss of Containment," which is the primary driver of catastrophic events in the petrochemical industry. This course bridges the gap between theoretical engineering and the practical maintenance activities required to sustain "Safety Critical Elements" (SCEs).

The scope of this training involves the identification of "Major Accident Hazards" (MAH) and the definition of the "Barriers" required to mitigate them. Participants will explore the technical standards for pressure vessels, piping, and emergency shutdown systems, ensuring that these assets comply with international codes such as ASME and IEC. The curriculum emphasizes the "Operationalizing" of safety, where engineered safeguards are maintained and tested with the same rigor as production equipment.

Coverage includes the management of "Corrosion and Damage Mechanisms," the implementation of "Functional Safety" (SIL), and the role of "Management of Change" (MOC) in preserving integrity. Attendees will examine how to build a "Technical Integrity Dashboard" to monitor the health of safety barriers in real-time. By the end of this program, participants will be able to lead an integrity management program that meets stringent regulatory requirements and ensures the long-term safety of the facility and the community.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Define the core principles of "Technical Integrity" and "Engineered Safety."
• Identify "Safety Critical Elements" (SCEs) within a petrochemical facility.
• Establish "Performance Standards" (Functionality, Availability, Reliability) for SCEs.
• Manage "Major Accident Hazards" (MAH) through the "Bow-Tie" analysis.
• Implement "Functional Safety" (SIL) testing for emergency shutdown systems.
• Manage "Mechanical Integrity" of static equipment according to API standards.
• Conduct "Integrity Audits" to verify compliance with engineering standards.
• Manage "Management of Change" (MOC) to prevent "Integrity Erosion."
• Utilize "RBI" and "RCM" findings to prioritize integrity-critical work.
• Implement "Flange Management" and "Joint Integrity" to prevent leaks.
• Monitor "Integrity KPIs" and report "Barrier Health" to senior management.
• Foster a "Safety Culture" where technical integrity is a shared responsibility.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is designed for Integrity Engineers, Process Safety Managers, Maintenance Engineers, Plant Operations Managers, and Technical Compliance Officers.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
