Non Intrusive Inspection allows comprehensive inspection of pressure vessels to be performed while on-line, eliminating the need for the inspection to be carried out only during shutdowns. The minimizes the shut down durations and allows process plant operators to maximize production. Participants will gain an overview of the NII process as per the HOIS Recommended Practice as well as an understanding of how NII is aligned with RBI systems. Also an overview of NDT inspection techniques applicable to NII will be considered. An understanding of how analysis of inspection data feeds into decision making based on NII and knowledge of are to integrate NII to your existing integrity management practice will be looked at.
