Chemical & Specialty Process

Specialty Chem.
Dynamic Integrity.

Chemical plants don't just run one product for 4 years. You have batch variances, product switches, and aggressive chemistries. Reliatic handles the complexity of dynamic integrity management.

The Batch Reality

Why traditional RBI models fall apart in chemical manufacturing.

Product Switch Exposure

The Challenge

Running Product A is fine for 316SS. Switching to Product B (even for 48 hours) introduces chlorides that trigger SCC. Traditional models miss these 'brief' exposures.

The Solution

We track product batches through your ERP/LIMS and correlate them with metallurgical vulnerability limits. If a batch exceeds a corrosion threshold, we trigger a projected risk adjustment.

Result

"Specialty chem site caught SCC initiation in Reactor 4 after an 'off-spec' batch was processed for only 12 hours. Advanced inspection saved a $450k vessel."

Aggressive Acid Management

The Challenge

H2SO4 and HF service requires more than just UT readings. You need flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) modeling that accounts for velocity, concentration, and temperature simultaneously.

The Solution

Reliatic includes FAC-specific algorithms that model concentration vs. velocity curves. We flag 'Red Zones' where process shifts turn a stable asset into a high-wear asset.

Result

"Chlor-alkali plant optimized their piping replacement schedule, reducing annual maintenance spend while improving leak performance."

Dynamic Batch Correlator

We don't assume a steady state. Reliatic maps your process history against your mechanical limits to find the hidden 'Cumulative Damage' that standard yearly audits miss.

Honest Compliance.

Compliance isn't about checking a box; it's about having the proof. Reliatic generates a mathematical audit trail for every asset, making EPA/OSHA audits a non-event.

Immutable Audit Logs

Every data change is logged with a timestamp and user ID. No 'ghost' updates.

Deficiency Closure Tracking

We don't just find problems; we track the mandates until they are physically closed.

High-Pressure Hydraulic Systems

Hydraulic Reliability Is Not a Maintenance Issue

High-pressure hydraulic systems—reactor cooling circuits, high-pressure washing systems, hydraulic presses, and injection skids—fail differently to static pressure vessels. Fatigue, contamination, and seal integrity dominate, not corrosion-driven wall-loss.

Fatigue-Driven Failure Modes

The Gap

Hydraulic hoses and fittings fail under cyclic pressure loading—not wall thinning. Standard RBI corrosion models flag them as low-risk while fatigue accumulates invisibly.

Platform Approach

Configure cycle-count based inspection triggers. Reliatic tracks operating cycles as an asset parameter and fires inspection events when cumulative fatigue reaches configurable thresholds—independent of time-based or corrosion-based schedules.

Contamination & Seal Degradation

The Gap

Hydraulic fluid contamination (particulate, water, chemical) degrades seals and valve internals faster than any corrosion mechanism. Standard inspection programmes miss this entirely.

Platform Approach

Reliatic supports fluid analysis findings as inspection records. Particulate counts, water content, and acid number results feed the risk score for hydraulic circuit assets—tying maintenance history directly to reliability metrics.

Shared-Boundary Risk

The Gap

A hydraulic system failure often doesn't damage just the hydraulic circuit—it releases pressure into process streams or trips safety-critical controls. The consequence model must capture cross-boundary impact.

Platform Approach

Asset hierarchy and dependency mapping allow hydraulic systems to be linked to process assets they interact with. A hydraulic failure consequence flows through to the connected process CoF, giving a true system-level risk picture.

Relief & Accumulator Testing

The Gap

Hydraulic accumulators and relief valves require periodic set-point verification and pre-charge testing. These are often tracked in isolation from the system risk profile.

Platform Approach

First-class support for relief device management: configured relief pressure, actual test results, as-found vs as-left records, and automatic inspection scheduling based on demand count or time elapsed.
