Abstract

A storage tank, which is used to store oil, is important and high-risk equipment that requires attention to its safety aspects. As a preventive measure, the government requires inspections of all storage tanks, either on a regular basis (every four years) or based on risk assessment. This safety study aims to create an inspection plan for the storage tanks at the oil refinery using the risk-based inspection (RBI) method. The RBI method in this study adopts API RP 581, Third Edition, 2016. Risk analysis is carried out in stages, including collecting technical data on the tanks, determining failure mechanisms, conducting risk analysis, and finally creating an inspection interval and method. Technical data was collected and studied for 29 storage tanks designed according to the API 650 standard. The determined failure mechanisms for the storage tank shell are atmospheric corrosion, general corrosion, and corrosion under insulation. The results of the risk analysis showed that all tanks have a medium risk, with 16 units in category 3C and 13 units in category 2C. The planned inspection methods are visual inspection, UT thickness or flaw thickness, and CUI, with most inspection intervals reaching 10 years. Based on this study, it is concluded that risk-based inspection (RBI) is more effective and efficient than the specific time interval inspection method (every 4 years).

Abstract

The crashworthiness of a railway vehicle has been developed to provide energy absorption capacity and efficiency of energy absorption. This study presents a computer simulation to determine the energy-absorbing structure of the new addition of a crash box design on the Indonesian high-speed train in a collision scenario. The crashworthiness analysis in the crash box is done with software based on finite element methods. The crash box is modeled as a thin-walled structure located in coupler housing, between the draft gear and the car frame. The test model was carried out according to the 2019 SNI 8826 standard using a frontal impact test with an impactor mass of 38.807 kg and a speed of 10 m/s. The pattern of deformation and energy absorption is obtained by calculating the area under the graphical curve of the relationship between the force reaction and the displacement obtained from the simulation. The deceleration of the train is obtained from the graph of acceleration against time on the impactor. The simulation results show that the addition of a crash box design as an energy absorption module on a safety protection technology for railway vehicles can reduce the severity of the impact and improve passenger safety. The application of the initial crash box model also shows an unacceptable train deceleration in the SNI 8826 test standard.
