Asset integrity management (AIM) is a broad group of tools to maintain plant assets in a fit-for-service condition while extending these assets remaining life in the most cost effective, safe and reliable manner.

This course is designed to provide the attendants with basic and deeper knowledge and practice about asset integrity management methods and tools. Specifically, by attending this course you will:

• Become familiar with asset integrity management (AIM) systems
• Learn about tools used in AIM
• Gain a deeper knowledge about inspection techniques
• Learn about the principles of risk based inspection (RBI)
• Learn about life cycle cost (LLC) methodologies
• Learn about root cause failure analysis (RCFA) - corrosion and mechanical wear
• Learn about the principles of fitness-for-service (FFT) techniques
• Learn about different maintenance management programs
• Learn about process safety and assets mechanical integrity
