Your Plant ASSETS worth MILLIONS / BILLIONS … Do Not Take Risks!!  It’s also about Safety, Reliability, Availability & Minimizing Liability of Fixed Equipment  

The first step in safety and reliability of refinery equipment is identifying and understanding the relevant damagemechanisms in the refining industries. API 571 document contains practical information and guidance on damagemechanisms that can affect process equipment, assistance regarding the type and extent of damage, and how thisknowledge can be applied to the selection of effective inspection methods to detect size and characterize damage.

 API 571 Supplementary Certification is meant for assessing the candidates for their knowledge level of damage mechanisms

which is important when implementing the API Inspection Codes (API 510, API 570, API 653) and in conducting risk basedinspection per API 580 and API 581.

Who Should A t tend?  

Plant inspection engineer and managers, Inspection personnel, plant operating engineers who are involved ininspection, RBI, FFS, and fixed equipment reliability programs.

QA/QC engineers, Maintenance engineers and technicians and people involved in trouble shooting of plant operations.

Corrosion engineers will have immense benefit from this course in terms of identifying, understanding, prevention andmitigation of corrosion mechanisms and related damages of refinery equipment.

 Although refinery problems are the main focus of the classes, personnel from related industries (such as mid-stream

companies, gas plants, and petrochemical firms) also benefit from the course content and exercises. Any Inspector orEngineer interested in the refinery corrosion area can attend the class.

* Effective immediately individuals applying for API 571, API 577 and API 580 certification programs are NO LONGERrequired to have a valid and current basic certification (API 510, 570, or 653) in order to qualify.

Refineries and chemical plants contain many different processingunits, each having its own combination of aggressive processstreams and temperature/pressure conditions.

This course helps the participants to understand easily the variousdegradations and damages inflicted on equipments and how todetect, evaluate, and prevent them. It covers the 64 corrosionmechanisms documented in the API 571 and review the basicrefinery flow that affects corrosion mechanisms. Consequently it willhelp them to pass the API 571 certification exam successfully.

API 571 Certification Preparation (7 Days) 

Course Object ives  

Premature failure of critical components like pipelines, tanks, pressure vessels, boilers and related equipment, heat

exchangers often results in operating down time, loss of production, environmental pollution and in some cases, loss of

human life.

The course provides participants with the knowledge necessary:

To gain a detailed background on the scope, organization and use of API 571.

To know how to detect, evaluate, and prevent degradations and damages of

Refinery Equipment.

To present typical corrosion failures and to illustrate the inter-relationship

between corrosion mechanisms and associated metallurgy.

To identify various inspection techniques for different metallurgies and

corrosion mechanisms.

To grasp the advanced information in preventive as well as predictive

maintenance of equipment.

To present different forms of degradations and various mechanisms and related

environmental factors.

To know the factors contributing the damage, the correct monitoring &

inspection of damage, prevention/mitigation of damage mechanisms.

Help participants to pass the certification examination successfully.

Score well in API 571 examination.
