Application of innovative methodology for risk assessment and inspection methods on example of small experimental biomass gasification unit

Abstract

Application of Innovative methodology for risk assessment and inspection methods is the result of a long-term work in the field of Risk-Based Inspection. As such, it was successfully applied on oil and gas facilities in the Middle East. As an example of its versatility, application will be shown on small experimental biomass gasification plant utilized for the purpose of combined heat and power generation, built in Serbia in the middle of the past decade. Throughout the analysis both active and passive damage mechanisms will be identified as well as barriers thus enabling the creation of a system that documents the dynamics of the damage mechanisms and installed barriers.
