Abstract

Aging chemical reactors in the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin industry require comprehensive evaluation to ensure safe continued operation. This study conducts a remaining life assessment (RLA) and fitness-for-service (FFS) evaluation on five 30-year-old reactors, based on API 510, API 579/ASME FFS-1, and ASME BPVC Section VIII Div. 1 standards. The analysis involves corrosion rate measurement, future corrosion allowance (FCA) projection, and minimum thickness verification. Among the reactors, R-120 was found to have the shortest remaining life less than 15 years. FFS assessments using three criteria Average Measured Thickness, MAWP from Point Thickness Readings, and Minimum Measured Thickness confirm that R-120 meets all safety requirements. The head and shell thicknesses exceed the minimum allowable values; calculated MAWPr values are above the design MAWP; and thicknesses adjusted for FCA remain above 50% of the minimum required. These results indicate that R-120 remains fit for continued service. This study underscores the critical role of standardized assessment and routine inspection in extending the safe operating life of aging process equipment

Abstract

Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies have become a key strategic response to global efforts to reduce CO2 emissions. This study presents a leak testing strategy designed for a carbon dioxide (CO₂) piping system as part of a Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) project in the Bintuni Basin, West Papua, Indonesia. This study aims to ensure the system is properly prepared before commissioning by designing a leak test plan that is both practical and technical, based on ASME B31.3, ASME PCC-2, and API STD 520 Part 1. We conducted the process, which involves identifying the system boundaries, selecting the test medium, determining the test pressure, sizing the pressure relief valves, calculating the exclusion zone, and a qualitative risk assessment. The findings highlight the importance of performing a tightness test using nitrogen gas at 90% of the pipe's design pressure, especially for newly installed sections connected to existing LNG facilities. Based on technical analysis, this study provides a clear and applicable reference for field implementation of leak testing in CCUS projects.

Abstract

Crude oil booster pump is one of the critical equipment in oil refinery operations. In aging plants that have been operating for more than 25 years, where reliability and maintenance issues on equipment often cause operational disruptions and even unplanned shutdowns. This study aims to develop a structured reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) strategy for crsude oil booster pump systems that is also in line with the principles of asset integrity management system (AIMS). This methodology follows the RCM II approach, starting with system function analysis, failure mode identification, and criticality assessment through Failure Mode, Effect, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) to determine the Risk Priority Number (RPN) value that looks at the severity, occurrence, and detection rankings to support the priority and selection of maintenance tasks. The results of the study indicate that mechanical seal leakage and bearing wear are the most dominant failure modes, which contribute significantly to operational disruptions. Based on the RCM decision logic, the selected maintenance strategy includes condition monitoring and scheduled restoration tasks. These findings support the integration of RCM results into an asset management framework, which offers practical recommendations to improve pump reliability, reduce corrective maintenance, and support long-term plant availability goals.

Abstract

The thin-film deposition technique using spin coating offers a cost-effective alternative to Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD). The spin-coating process requires precise control of the motor drive system to ensure that the rotational speed, measured in rotations per minute (RPM), aligns with the set point and remains stable. This study presents the design and development of a spin coater prototype to achieve uniform thin-film deposition. The control method employed utilizes a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) algorithm, incorporating a polynomial approach with bias tuning. The PID control was chosen to achieve stable operation in a non-linear system. The performance of the non-linear PID control system is compared with an open-loop control system by evaluating the overshoot behavior. In the first experiment, a proximity sensor was tested to measure the spin coater motor's speed in an open-loop control configuration. The performance was evaluated using Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) metrics, with results showing an MAE of 1358.6 RPM and a MAPE of 23.13% compared to a tachometer. In the second experiment, step-response testing was conducted using a closed-loop PID control system with a polynomial approach and bias tuning. Compared to the open-loop system, the closed-loop PID controller reduced overshoot to less than 3%. The RPM deviation between the spin coater and the tachometer was limited to range, approaching ideal conditions. The closed-loop control was tested within the 5000–9000 RPM range, where stable RPM regulation resulted in more uniform TiO2 thin-film distribution on glass substrates. This study highlights the effectiveness of closed-loop PID control in achieving precise rotational control, which is essential for enhancing the quality of thin-film deposition.

Abstract

Energy and chemical companies use pipelines to transfer oil, gas, and other materials from one place to another, within and between their plants. Pipeline integrity is an important concern because pipeline leakage could result in serious economic or environmental losses. Some research has applied to understand the effect of extrapolation value of the minimum thickness of pipeline by using the Extreme Value Theory. In this research, both statistical models and Extreme Value methods were applied and developed for the reliability of the pipeline by assuming the constant corrosion rate and deviation due to measuring devices were neglected. The research obtained that using the General Pareto Distribution technique, the result found that the extreme value method seems not close agreement with the Pareto Distribution. While using the Generalized Extreme Value Technique found remaining life of 344 blocks data of the pipeline around 5.23 years. It could be suggested that next pipeline pigging should be conducted within 2.5 years.

Abstract

The susceptibility of steam line pipes, especially in the HAZ (heat-affected zone) and weldment areas, to hydrogen sulfide in the geothermal industry is crucial to understand from the early stages, particularly during construction. The combination of tensile stress from residual stresses after welding and metallurgical phase transformation makes the joint areas vulnerable to sulfide stress cracking. This condition becomes even more extreme when the equipment operates during the well stimulation phase. This research assesses the severity of H₂S-induced cracking using NACE MR0175 and ISO 15156-1 standards, focusing on the effects of pH and partial pressure of H₂S (pH₂S). The findings aim to provide insights into critical factors influencing H₂S cracking susceptibility and to enhance material integrity in geothermal systems. The result shows that while A106 Gr B steel generally meets sour service requirements, certain nodes within the geothermal facility exhibit a moderate risk of cracking under transient conditions. These results emphasize the importance of controlling fluid composition and implementing proper welding procedures to mitigate sulfide stress cracking (SSC).

Abstract

Pipeline Shipping Lines X, Y & Z are classified as critical infrastructure, being the only transportation through the crude oil lifting from P and R location to the transfer station in NM Area. To maintain the workflow of the Shipping Line, integrity assessments and risk evaluation are required to ensure the operational and safety. Anomalies were found by analysing inspection, monitoring, and repair data, while the pipelines' future integrity was assessed by calculating the remaining life. Risk-Based Analysis (RBA), which is a modification of Kent Muhlbaeur's method, is employed to conduct the risk assessment using the Probability of Failure (POF) and Consequence of Failure (COF) in order to develop the risk profile. Simulations of pressure built up, temperature drop, and wax deposition are performed through flow assurance analysis to predict the Shipping Line condition. The results of the integrity assessment show that the Shipping Lines X, Y, and Z is fit-for-service. Nevertheless, some concerns need to be addressed, including active internal degradation mechanisms such as Under Deposit Corrosion (UDC) and Microbiologically Induced Corrosion (MIC), as well as active external threats such as Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI). The result of integrity and risk assessment Shipping Lines X, Y, and Z are crucial for planning inspection schedules and maintenance strategies in short, medium, and long term.

Abstract

The synthesis of carbonaceous materials for reduced graphene oxide (rGO) precursors using oil palm empty fruit bunches waste as a carbon source offers a sustainable solution for waste management in the palm oil industry while delivering high-performance materials. The oil palm empty fruit bunches were carbonized, followed by acid washing, pyrolysis with ferrocene (8%, 12%, and 16% variations), and ultrasonication to produce rGO. The structural, electronic, and morphological properties of the rGO were analyzed using various characterization techniques. The band gap values decreased with increasing ferrocene concentration, from 1.14 eV (8%) to 1.06 (16%), indicating enhanced electronic conductivity. XRD analysis revealed a crystal size increase from 11.3 nm (8%) to 181 nm (16%), while Raman spectroscopy showed a consistent D to G intensity ratio of 0.85, indicating reduced structural defects. SEM-EDS results demonstrated a carbon to oxygen atomic ratio of 4.38 (8%), 3.79 (12%), and 3.77 (16%), confirming successful reduction and improved carbon content. These finding highlight the potential of rGO synthesized from oil palm empty fruit bunches for applications in semiconductors, energy storage, and gas sensing, offering an innovative approach to sustainable materials development.
