6.2 FLANGE PRO
Our newest innovation is the introduction of FLANGE PRO , a software solution offering the ultimate secure, safe and traceable flange management system. The implications of leakage from connections in process pipework can be extremely serious, and with many thousands of connections on site, from flanges to valves to small bore connections, maintaining integrity and 100% containment is an extremely high priority. FLANGE PRO has been designed to improve safety, reduce risk and save money. Protecting assets, protecting people and the environment.
A global, collaborative cloud-based system, FLANGE PRO provides secure access to any project, on demand, anywhere in the world.
FLANGE PRO captures and records all integrity activities on all safety critical plant and equipment. Providing access through a simple intuitive user interface and gives you the information you need, when you need it. Whether in planning, construction, operations, maintenance or working on turnaround activities, FLANGE PRO is the integrity solution for all flange management situations.
Flange Management Systems can help address elements of SEMS, SEMS II, and RP 75, such as: •
Maintaining key information on flanged joints, leak testing, and controlled bolting bolt load calculations and methods. • •
Documentation of operating procedures for controlled bolting processes. Help maintain mechanical integrity of piping assets.
Flange Management Systems can help address KP4 requirements: •
Help track flange records for aging assets and maintain a documented record of their condition.
Furthermore, Flange Management Systems provides a system to help manage hydrocarbon-containing equipment from experiencing a hydrocarbon release.
The Deepwater Horizon accident resulted in the loss of eleven lives and the overall cost was several billion dollars. The Piper Alpha accident cost the loss of 167 lives and changed the face of the North Sea Oil & Gas industry entirely.
A high consequence event that occurred in a California refinery which resulted when a 4″ 300# gasket failed due to improper tightening. The refinery reported that consequential damages due to production loss, fines, and rework were in excess of $500M*. (Source: 2014 AFPM
