STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
FOR STATIC PROCESS EQUIPMENT

PRESSURE VESSELS

Flash Vessel

In many Flash Vessels, assessing the rate of deterioration and risk of failure can be a guessing game. Akselos structural performance management software can turn these guesses into trusted data backed predictions.

Process Knock Out Drum

In Knock Out Drums, metal loss due to corrosion can be a serious issue. Based on actual asset information, including historical data and repair/inspection reports, Akselos software can reduce inspection and maintenance costs and ensure vessels remain fit for service.

Deaerator

Deaerators enable efficient purification of feedwater but suffer from cracks and accumulated fatigue in the structure, especially the baffles. Akselos structural performance management software allows refineries to predict and extend the life of these vessels in
full compliance with industry standard API 579.

Delayed Coker Unit

Coker drums undergo cyclic high-temperature and pressure conditions during their operation and represent a production bottleneck at many refineries. Akselos structural performance management software allows refineries to add hundreds of hours a year to production.

Steam Methane Reformers (SMR)

Creep is a significant issue for Steam Methane Reformers (SMRs) due to the prolonged operating temperatures and the constant stress of the reforming process. Akselos structural performance management software can calculate creep in real time and display the results in your control room in a unique intuitive dashboard.

Shell Gasification Process (SGP) Reactor

Catalytic partial oxidation reactors, such as the SGP, operate at high pressures and temperatures and are subject to creep deformation over time. Akselos structural performance management software offers a unique live creep model that allows users to visualize creep assessments based on historic data.

Hydrocracker Unit (HCU) Reactor

HCU structural integrity is critical to personnel safety and optimal refinery production. Akselos structural performance management software allows refineries to combine all sensor data, inspection reports, and design information into a single structural dashboard.

Molsieve Reactor

Molsieve reactors enable efficient separation and purification of natural gas but suffer from cracks and accumulated fatigue from repeated loading and unloading cycles. Akselos structural performance management software allows refineries to predict and extend the life of these reactors.

Isothermal Pressure Vessel

In Isothermal Pressure Vessels, metal loss due to corrosion can be a serious issue. Based on actual asset information, including historical data and repair/inspection reports, Akselos software can reduce inspection and maintenance costs and ensure vessels remain fit for service.

HEAT TRANSFER

Exchangers & Heat Recovery

Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG)

HRSG tube stacks operate under immense temperatures, constant stress, and are subject to creep deformation. Akselos structural performance management software offers a unique live creep model that allows users to model and visualize creep assessments based on historic data.

Furnace & Heaters

Fired Heater

Creep is a significant issue for Fired Heaters due to the high prolonged operating temperatures and constant stress of the heating process. Akselos structural performance management software can calculate creep in real time and display the results in your control room in a unique intuitive dashboard.

Natural Gas Pre-Heater

Creep is a significant issue for Natural Gas Pre-Heaters due to the prolonged operating temperatures and constant stress of the heating process. Akselos structural performance management software can help to extend the heater’s useful life and vastly improve maintenance and replacement planning.

LOX Vaporizer

Liquid Oxygen (LOX) vaporizers are crucial components in a refinery but suffer from cracks and accumulated fatigue from the vast temperature differentials of normal operation. Akselos structural performance management software allows refineries to predict and extend the life of these vaporizers.

Open Rack Vaporizer (ORV)

Open Rack Vaporizers (ORV) are crucial components in regasification but suffer from cracks and accumulated fatigue from the vast temperature differentials of normal operation. Akselos software is informed by historical data, inspection reports, and design information of actual vessel, ensuring maximum accuracy and trusted predictions.

PIPING AND PIPELINES

Pipeline Segment

In Pipeline Segments, metal loss due to corrosion and fatigue can be serious issues. Akselos structural performance management software can turn these guesses into trusted data backed predictions.

STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
FOR OFFSHORE STRUCTURES

OFFLOADING BUOYS

Offloading Buoys

Buoy systems are large and complex and face many of the same structural integrity challenges as the primary asset they accompany. Akselos structural performance management software allows operators to predict and extend the life of these buoys in full compliance with industry standards.

TOPSIDES

The topside of a floating structure such as a FPSO, TLP, or F-LNG, is a large and complex structure that is subjected to complex loading and a corrosive environment. Akselos structural performance management software allows operators to predict and extend the life of topsides in full compliance with industry standards.

HULL & CONNECTIONS

FPSO Hull & Tanks

FPSOs are subjected to complex loading (Waves, wind, tank loading, unloading, riser and mooring loads, etc.) as well as a corrosive environment from seawater and cargo. Akselos structural performance management software allows operators to predict and extend the life of FPSO hull and tanks in full compliance with class societies and industry standards.

F-LNG Hull & Tanks

Floating LNG facilities (F-LNG) are subjected to complex loading (Wind, waves, riser and mooring loads, etc.) as well as a corrosive seawater environment. Akselos structural performance management software allows operators to predict and extend the life of F-LNG facilities in full compliance with class societies and industry standards.

Floaters (Tension-leg Platform (TLP), Semisubmersible Platform, Spar Platform)

Tension leg platforms, semisubmersible, and spar platforms, collectively called Floaters are subjected to complex loading (Wind, waves, riser and mooring loads, etc.) as well as a corrosive seawater environment. Akselos software allows maintenance professionals the opportunity to greatly increase asset life and reduce personnel on board (PoB) costs.

Offshore Hull Connections

Floating assets such as FPSOs, TLPs, and semisubmersibles typically have dozens of hull connections. Akselos Structural Performance Management software allows operators to predict and extend the life of hull connections in full compliance with class societies and industry standards.

SUBSEA JUMPERS

Subsea jumpers are used in deep water projects to connect well heads, manifolds as part of subsea production systems. Akselos structural performance management software uses data from ROV inspections to determine the true jumper state.

OFFSHORE OIL PLATFORMS

Offshore Oil Platforms

An Offshore Oil Platform serves as the foundation for various offshore structures, including drilling rigs, production platforms, and accommodation platforms. Akselos structural performance management software allows operators to predict and extend the life of Offshore Oil Platforms in full compliance with class societies and industry standards (API RP2A, ISO 19902, NORSOK N-004, AISC).
