Overview

Download the conference brochure

The event will give the HSE the opportunity to define their expectations in terms of deployment of NII techniques to the delegates advising when the approach is appropriate. A DNV recommended practice document has been published in order to provide a framework for the safe use of NII, the principle author will explain the intent of the document and any common interpretations. Existing users will provide a technical discussion of their experience of using NII, the benefits they have realised and cautionary advice on where the approach should be limited.

Day 1

09:30 - REGISTRATION AND REFRESHMENTS

10:00 - CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION

10:10 - KEYNOTE: NON-INVASIVE INSPECTION

Paul Stanworth, HM Specialist Inspector of Health & Safety, Hazardous Installations Directorate HSE

10:40 - An overvie w of the HOIS Recommended Practice for NII and application experience

Mark Stone, Team Leader, Sonomatic

• Background to development of the RP, published as DNV-RP-G103, within the HOIS Joint Industry Project
• Principles of assessment for NII
• Definition of inspection requirements
• Specification of inspection techniques and coverage meeting the requirements

11:10 - Q&A with panel speakers

11:30 - NETWORKING REFRESHMENT BREAK

11:50 - AN UPSTREAM APPROACH TO NON-INVASIVE INSPECTION

Malcolm Miller, Shell

• What is Shell Non-Invasive Inspection (S-NII)?
• Why does Shell want to do S-NII?
• The S-NII process, application and challenges

12:20 - RISKS INHERENT IN THE NON-INVASIVE APPROACH

Graeme Hughes, HM Specialist Inspector of Health & Safety, Hazardous Installations Directorate HSE

• Non-Invasive approach works if sufficiently comprehensive to detect the unexpected
• Is ‘similar service’ a safe assumption?
• Case Study

12:50 - Q&A with panel speakers

13:10 - NETWORKING LUNCH

14:00 - Practical Application of DNV RP-G-103 at a Major Offshore Production Facility

Ian Bradley, BP

• Intrusive vessel inspections are costly
• Case Study in using RP-G-103 to establish suitability for NII
• Development of an NII programme using latest generation inspection technologies to achieve the same confidence as conventional intrusive inspection

14:30 - NON-INVASIVE INSPECTION OF FIRE TUBE BOILERS

Peter Batty SAFed

• Inspection of fire tube boilers by traditional means is challenging
• SAFed investigations into the feasibility of non invasive approaches
• Current position and way forward

14:45 - Q&A with panel speakers

15:05 - NETWORKING REFRESHMENT BREAK

15:40 - Non-Invasive examination of hazardous material storage tanks?

Paul Jackson, Function Leader Inspection, ABB Engineering Services

• Guidance in EMMUA 159 requires entry into storage tanks to inspect the base to shell junction
• Inspection is not without risk however and emptying and cleaning tanks containing hazardous materials can damage plant and has environmental consequences.
• This presentation will examine the reasons for invasive inspection and illustrate a case where a non-invasive strategy was justified and how this was done.

16:10 - Q&A with pane l speakers

16:20 - CHAIRMAN’S CLOSING REMARKS

16:30 - CLOSE OF SEMINAR

PAUL STANWORTH: HM SPECIALIST INSPECTOR OF HEALTH AND SAFETY, HSE

Paul Stanworth is a Chartered Mechanical Engineer working in the Health and Safety Executive’s Chemicals, Explosives and Microbiological Hazards Division. His role involves providing engineering support to regulatory inspections and investigations, particularly those carried out as part of HSE’s Ageing Plant work stream at major hazard sites subject to the COMAH regulations. Paul is currently the chair of a working group of the Chemicals and Downstream Oil Industry Forum (CDOIF) on Ageing Plant. He has also previously acted as chair of a working group which produced the industry guidance on integrity management.

MALCOLM MILLER: TECHNICAL AUTHORITY, SHELL

Malcolm Miller has been continuously employed in NDT since 1975 and has gained extensive experience in many aspects of the business across a range of industries, but specifically in the upstream and downstream oil and gas markets. He has substantial technical responsibility within Shell UIO where he is their Technical Authority in aspects concerning NDT. Most of his work has been involved with the development and application of advanced NDT technology either to solve particular inspection problems or to improve inspection reliability. In particular, a lot of his effort has been devoted to non-intrusive inspection of pressure vessels.

MARK STONE: TEAM LEADER, SONOMATIC

Mark Stone is responsible for developing Sonomatic’s integrity capability and leads a team delivering integrity-related services to clients. He is a Mechanical Engineer with many years experience of working closely with NDT inspection colleagues to ensure better integration of inspection as part of more effective integrity management approaches. This experience covers planning for reliable inspection approaches and assessment of inspection results from an integrity perspective. He is actively involved in the development and application of processes for assessment, planning and evaluation of Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) of pressure vessels.

PETER BATTY: PRINCIPAL ENGINEER, SAFED

After thirteen years with National Vulcan/ Royal & Sun Alliance he moved to take on the Principal Engineer position with LmP Technical Services Ltd where he has been responsible for extending the services of the Engineering section and developing closer relations with customers to ensure compliance with various statutory inspection requirements.
