The ability to forecast equipments failure is vital to reducing maintenance costs, operation downtime and safety hazards. In this paper, first, RBI application status in China is discussed. Through analyzing the existing condition of RBI technology on equipments, the necessary of dynamic risk management based on RBI is pointed out. After that, the development Status of RBI Software in China is put forward. Considering the shortcoming of these pieces of software, Static Equipment Predictive Maintenance Intelligent Management System is built by China Special Equipment Inspection & Research Institute (CSEI). The system integrates 8 core modules, including corrosion monitoring and management module, the remaining life evaluation calculation module, damage mode discrimination module, material upgrade management module, the analysis and prediction of erosion areas of the pipes module, risk analysis and dynamic updates module, safe operation of warning based on GIS module, the generation of the inspection scheme module. It provides timely the equipments operation condition information for the plant management departments, realizes the combination with plant management and condition monitoring. Finally, the scheme and the thoughts of the system are introduced in details. And the characteristics and functions of the proposed system have been demonstrated.

Abstract Asset integrity management system (AIMS) consisting of risk based inspection (RBI) and inspection management system (IMS) coupled with digitized equipment records and use of inspection tablets/mobiles will make paperless system for fast and timely decisions & actions. This paper provides a roadmap for implementation of an efficient and cost effective asset integrity management system that will increase the plant reliability & availability, decrease the time and efforts required for inspection, thus ultimately reducing the associated costs of operations. In this paper, the focus is towards digitalized AIMS that should make a company move to digital transformation and enabling it to adapt to industry 4.0 technologies such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, data analytics, machine learning etc. First step is to perform a gap assessment of existing system to compare what is currently available within organization and what is required for going fully digital for AIM. Next step is to identify software features that are required for AIM digitalization and establish them as point based rating system which are used for rating best suitable software available in the market. Unique features for RBI module, inspection management module and field interface (tablet) module are identified with appropriate weightage to influence the software selection decision. Finally, an estimation of required resources, manpower timeline is provided that will guide in all phases of the implementation. Return on investment on such projects is manifolds. The digitalized AIM will greatly reduce the cost of day to to asset integrity management operations as it will no longer be needed to use multiple paper based reports and separate systems for RBI and IMS functions. Use of field tablet/mobile with possibility of artificial intelligence tools, will significantly reduce the time required for inspectors to do the on site inspection/testing & reporting. Interfacing of digitalized system with ERP/CMMS will automate the work order/notification system. Thus it will reduce an overall effort both in terms of time & money. The roadmap for digitalization of AIMS system will help any organization to make its AIMS digital and achieve the benefits of such system. The methodology provided is unique and can be adopted as best practices by the industry for digitally transforming the AIMS.

This paper describes a detailed process for assessing two important aspects of aging pressure equipment infrastructure: 1) First by determining if the pressure equipment management systems (MS) are sufficiently effective to maintain and sustain the integrity and reliability of aging pressure equipment (vessels, tanks, and piping systems), 2) Secondly, by detailed individual equipment reviews (ER) to determine what vessels and piping systems may need recapitalization or major maintenance within the next 5–10 year timeframe. The two focused asset integrity reviews (FAIR®+MS & FAIR®+ER) can be completed in combination or separately in order to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a pressure equipment integrity maintenance program, as well as the actual condition of the highest risk pieces of pressure equipment and piping. The management system review surveys the 101 essential elements of pressure equipment integrity management and results in a benchmarking score for the operating site on the basis of 1000 points of excellence. This score allows the recipient to benchmark their status against many other sites that have already been reviewed and also facilitates the measurement of progress over time when the integrity reviews are repeated. The equipment specific review of individual pieces of equipment allows the recipient to determine how much it is likely to cost to maintain the facility (and to recapitalize, as necessary) in reliable operating order to support the on-going business. Both reviews result in specific recommendations on how the owner-operator can improve the pressure equipment management systems and maintain specific equipment.

On January 4th 2007 TIGF published the following invitation for tenders: “Development and Provision of a Pipeline Integrity Management System”. The project was awarded to Bureau Veritas (BV), who proposed to meet the requirements of TIGF with the Threats and Mitigations module of the PiMSlider® suite extended with some customized components. The key features of the PiMSlider® suite are: • More than only IT: a real integrity philosophy, • A simple intuitive tool to store, display and update pipeline data, • Intelligent search utilities to locate specific information about the pipeline and its surrounding, • A scalable application, with a potentially unlimited number of users, • Supervision (during and after implementation) by experienced people from the oil and gas industry. This paper first introduces TIGF and the consortium BV – ATP. It explains in a few words the PIMS philosophy captured in the PiMSlider® suite and focuses on the added value of the pipeline Threats and Mitigations module. Using this module allows the integrity analyst to: • Prioritize pipeline segments for integrity surveillance purposes, • Determine most effective corrective actions, • Assess the benefits of corrective actions by means of what-if scenarios, • Produce a qualitative threats assessment for further use in the integrity management plan, • Optimize integrity aspects from a design, maintenance and operational point of view, • Investigate the influence of different design criteria for pipeline segments. To conclude, TIGF presents the benefits of the tool for their Integrity Management department and for planning inspection and for better knowledge of their gas transmission grid.

AbstractStreptococcus agalactiae (S. agalactiae) is an important pathogen that can lead to neonatus and mother infection. The current existing techniques for the identification of S. agalactiae are limited by accuracy, speed and high-cost. Therefore, a new multiple cross displacement amplification (MCDA) assay was developed for test of the target pathogen immediately from vaginal and rectal swabs. MCDA primers screening were conducted targeting S. agalactiae pcsB gene, and one set of MCDA primers with better rapidity and efficiency was selected for establishing the S. agalactiae-MCDA assay. As a result, the MCDA method could be completed at a constant temperature of 61 °C, without the requirement of special equipment. The detection limit is 250 fg (31.5 copies) per reaction, all S. agalactiae strains displayed positive results, but not for non-S. agalactiae strains. The visual MCDA assay detected 16 positive samples from 200 clinical specimen, which were also detected positive by enrichment/qPCR. While the CHROMagar culture detected 6 positive samples. Thus, the MCDA assay is prefer to enrichment/qPCR and culture for detecting S. agalactiae from clinical specimen. Particularly, the whole test of MCDA takes about 63.1 min, including sample collection (3 min), DNA preparation (15 min), MCDA reaction (45 min) and result reporting (6 s). In addition, the cost was very economic, with only US$ 4.9. These results indicated that our S. agalaciae-MCDA assay is a rapid, sensitive and cost-efficient technique for target pathogen detection, and is more suitable than conventional assays for an urgent detection, especially for 'on-site' laboratories and resource-constrained settings.
