Refinery-Specific Challenges We Solve
Generic asset management doesn't cut it in high-temperature, corrosive environments.
CCUS Asset Integrity: A Different Risk Profile
Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) facilities run CO₂ streams at high pressure through pipelines, wells, and injection equipment designed for hydrocarbon service—but with fundamentally different corrosion and fracture mechanics.
Supercritical CO₂ Corrosion
Wet CO₂ above 31°C and 74 bar enters supercritical phase. Carbon steel corrosion rates accelerate dramatically in the presence of free water. Standard hydrocarbon corrosion models do not apply.
Reliatic supports CO₂-specific corrosion models with configurable water content thresholds, phase boundary tracking, and corrosion allowance recalculation as operating conditions shift across injection campaigns.
Impurity-Driven Damage
Captured CO₂ streams from industrial sources contain SOₓ, NOₓ, H₂S, and O₂ impurities depending on the capture technology. Each shifts the dew point and accelerates localised corrosion and stress-corrosion cracking.
Damage mechanism libraries include impurity-specific degradation pathways. Each asset can carry multiple active mechanisms with independent corrosion rates and inspection intervals driven by actual stream composition data.
Injection Well Integrity
CO₂ injection wells experience pressure cycling, potential microannulus formation at the casing-cement interface, and long-term wellbore integrity challenges not covered by API 510 pressure vessel frameworks.
Reliatic's asset hierarchy supports wellbore components with custom inspection templates aligned to ISO 16530 and well integrity management system (WIMS) requirements. Each barrier element carries its own risk score and inspection schedule.
Running a CCUS pilot program?
Reliatic supports stage-gate governance for pilot projects—from Front-End Loading through commissioning and first injection. Each gate requires documented sign-off before the next phase unlocks.
Typical Implementation Journey
What to expect when transitioning from spreadsheets to a structured RBI platform.
Phase 1: Program Audit (Weeks 1-4)
We start by understanding your current RBI program state and identifying data gaps.
Phase 2: Data Migration (Weeks 5-8)
Historical inspection data is normalized and imported into the platform.
Phase 3: Go-Live (Weeks 9-12)
Platform goes live with guided risk assessments.
Phase 4: Continuous Improvement
Ongoing optimization as inspection data accumulates.
