SCG CHEMICALS and DNV Software have signed a purchase agreement on the Risk Based Inspection (RBI) software Orbit Onshore and Orbit+ IDS.
SGC CHEMICALS is a subsidiary of the Siam Cement Group (SCG), one of the largest integrated petrochemical companies in Thailand and a key industry leader in the Asia-Pacific region. SGC CHEMICALS manufacture and supply a full range of petrochemical products, ranging from intermediate, upstream and downstream petrochemicals.
"With the growing risk in the refinery, we need good tools to help us manage these risks," says Kumjohn Veerakanjana, Olefins maintenance manager of SCG CHEMICALS.
"DNV Software has rich experience in the process industry area," says Alice Feng, marketing director of Orbit and Orbit+. "With several years of implementing RBI and Orbit+ IDS software in process plants, we can offer a comprehensive service to your company."
The Orbit+ platform is a flexible system which can easily connect with your existing system. RBI makes use of a broad range of technologies including consequence modelling, reliability and failure frequency analysis and limit-state approaches providing the industry with a risk-based method for evaluating and developing inspection plants.
"By focusing your inspection efforts on high-risk areas, much unnecessary, prescriptive, low-value inspections can be eliminated - thus reducing costs without compromising safety or reliability", says Dr. Roger Chang, principal consultant, Asia Pacific Service, who is also the lecture owner for RBI.
An RBI training were held for a group from SCG CHEMICALS on 24-28 March. "After four days of training, we found DNV's Risk Bases Inspection software a good tool for us to eliminate unnecessary work. Hopefully the strong cooperation with DNV can help us deal even better with our daily inspection work," says Wee Chabthanom, Reliability Engineer at SCG CHEMICALS.
