Asset Integrity Matters

Extending run-lengths safely across complex processes

By adopting a risk-driven integrity framework, petrochemical operators can extend asset run-lengths while maintaining safe and compliant operations.

AsInt's integrated platform enables operators to proactively monitor degradation trends, manage turnaround readiness, and improve reliability across large-scale production environments.

01

The Challenge

Petrochemical plants operate large-scale continuous processes under extreme temperatures, high pressures, and complex reaction environments with aggressive hydrogen-rich conditions.

02

The Risk

Degradation mechanisms including hydrogen damage, carburization, coke formation, and high-temperature corrosion develop gradually and may remain undetected until they affect production reliability or safety.

03

The Stakes

Failures carry significant consequences — safety incidents, environmental impact, unplanned shutdowns, and financial loss due to production interruptions.

04

The Solution

A modern asset integrity strategy integrates inspection programs, risk analysis, operational limits, and reliability planning to proactively manage degradation risks and extend asset run-lengths.

AsInt for Petrochemical.
Integrated Integrity & Reliability Management

AsInt provides a comprehensive integrity management platform designed to support petrochemical facilities operating complex continuous production systems.

The platform connects inspection data, degradation mechanisms, engineering assessments, and reliability analysis into a unified operational framework, giving organizations a structured view of asset condition and operational risk across multiple process units.

Our Capacity

Four Core Integrity Capabilities

From feedstock supply through product finishing, AsInt provides integrated capabilities to manage degradation, run-lengths, and reliability across petrochemical production.
Risk-Based Inspection (RBI)
Risk-Based Inspection (RBI)

Implement RBI strategies aligned with API 580 and API 581 methodologies. Equipment exposed to hydrogen damage, high-temperature degradation, or fouling risks is evaluated using dynamic risk models considering both likelihood and consequence of failure.

Impact: Improve inspection efficiency while protecting critical high-temperature process equipment.

Inspection Data Management
Inspection Data Management

Centralize inspection findings, corrosion monitoring data, thickness measurements, fouling data, and inspection histories into a unified environment to track degradation trends and maintain complete traceability.

Impact: Improve visibility into degradation mechanisms affecting petrochemical process equipment.

Reliability & Maintenance Optimization
Reliability & Maintenance Optimization

Support reliability-centered maintenance strategies that align maintenance planning with asset criticality, degradation risks, and production priorities. Connect reliability analysis with inspection insights to minimize operational disruptions.

Impact: Reduce unplanned shutdowns while maintaining optimal production throughput.

Turnaround & Shutdown Management
Turnaround & Shutdown Management

Plan shutdown activities by integrating inspection findings, degradation analysis, and maintenance planning into a structured turnaround workflow. Early detection of degradation risks prevents late-stage discoveries that delay shutdown schedules.

Impact: Improve turnaround readiness while reducing scope creep and unexpected maintenance work.

Asset Lifecycle

Managing integrity from feedstock to finished product

Petrochemical production spans multiple operational stages where asset integrity and reliability must be carefully managed.
  • Feedstock Supply
  • Intermediate Unites
  • Product Finishing

1. Feedstock Supply & Cracking Units

High-temperature environments where hydrogen damage, carburization, and coke formation can significantly impact equipment life. AsInt supports inspection planning and risk prioritization for cracking furnaces, reformers, and associated equipment.

2. Intermediate Processing Units

Polymerization, aromatics processing, and intermediate conversion units rely on stable equipment performance across continuous cycles. AsInt monitors degradation trends and maintains reliable processing operations.

3. Product Finishing & Distribution

Downstream operations including product storage, blending, and distribution require consistent asset reliability to ensure product quality and safe delivery. AsInt supports reliability monitoring and maintenance planning.

Operational Excellence

Run longer. Safer. Smarter.

Petrochemical facilities operate under strict safety, environmental, and operational regulations. However, asset integrity programs today also serve as a strategic tool for improving operational performance.

By connecting degradation monitoring with risk-based inspection planning, organizations can extend run-lengths while maintaining safety and compliance. A structured integrity framework enables operators to demonstrate operational discipline to regulators, insurers, and stakeholders.

Real-World Outcomes

Improved reliability and operational efficiency

Petrochemical organizations that implement risk-driven integrity programs often experience significant improvements in reliability and operational efficiency.By linking inspection planning with degradation monitoring and reliability strategies, operators detect equipment issues earlier, prevent unexpected failures, and better plan shutdown activities.
