    Risk management and control related to fixed pressurized equipment failure
    (20 August 1955 – Skikda University, 2025) Khawla , DIB; Youcef , ZENNIR
    Fixed pressurized equipment, such as separators, reactors, heaters and storage tanks, are integral to the safe operation of oil and gas facilities. Depending on the operating conditions, several damage mechanisms can occur and lead to failure. Managing the risks associated with these assets is critical to preventing accidents, leaks, and failures that could lead to catastrophic events. A robust risk management approach ensures that the integrity of this equipment is maintained throughout its lifecycle. catalytic reformer heater tubes, operating under extreme temperatures, pressure, and corrosive environments, are prone to various damage mechanisms that can lead to failure. To assess these risks, a combination of inspection techniques is used to identify the key degradation mechanisms. Based on these findings, a Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) study will be conducted to develop a targeted inspection strategy aimed at mitigating identified risks. Additionally, several recommendations are proposed to prevent similar damage in the future, enhancing both safety and equipment reliability
