Sour Assurance

TWI's Sour Service Risk Management Programme

NDE or failure of sour plant, or changes in operating conditions for non-sour plant, require reassessment of fitness for service.

Using its sour service risk management programme built on more than 30 years' experience, TWI can assess your facility, suggest modifications and confirm fitness for purpose. We will give you the assurance that your plant will remain safe and economic in production.

  • Assessment of equipment delivered outside of specification.
  • Safe guidelines based on realistic service conditions to avoid limitations imposed by restrictive approaches based solely on hydrogen sulphide partial pressure.

Key Features:

  • Maximises safety of operation
  • Cost effective risk mitigation processes
  • Structured assessment undertaken by one organisation:
    • Failure assessment
    • Specialist inspection, advice and data assessment
    • Materials & welding review
    • Process review
    • Customised corrosion testing
    • Fitness-for-purpose assessment
