PFIM™ Piping System Mechanical Integrity Program (PSMIP) Software

Multiple Risk Algorithms

PFIM™ Gas Pipeline Facility Risk Models

• Includes multiple off-the-shelf risk algorithms for any type of gas and liquid
piping system:
‣ Production Piping
‣ Gathering Piping
‣ Plant Utility Piping
‣ Refinery Piping
‣ Terminal Piping
‣ Station Piping
• Risk algorithms are designed to leverage the latest industry risk assessment
methodology developed by Mr. Kent Muhlbauer, author of "Pipeline Risk
Management Manual".
• Risk algorithm variables and attributes are based on 49CFR Part 192 & 195
and ASME & API Recommended Practices.
• Flexible component hierarchy to organize pipe segment data by any design
or geographic parameters.

Risk-Based Maintenance Program

PFIM™ Tiered Risk Analysis

• Results from PFIM™ "Tiered Risk Analysis" of thousands of pipe segments
establishes the priority and schedule for Integrity Assessments and
Preventive and Mitigative Measures (i.e., Multi-year risk-based maintenance
plans).
• Piping systems and risk results are displayed in various tables, graphs,
histograms, matrices, and over a satellite image using basic GIS tools.
• The benefits of a PFIM™ based Tiered Risk Analysis include:
‣ Justify number, type and frequency of effective risk reduction strategies
based on risk criticality (e.g., Tier 1, 2, 3, 4).
‣ Better capital and maintenance justification, resource capacity planning,
budget metrics, and program cost reduction.

PFIM™ – Helping You Drive EFFECTIVE Action

• Evaluate total Risk of Failure (ROF) for each oil/gas piping system based on
Likelihood of Failure (LOF) and Consequence of Failure (COF) risk.
• Assess the LOF for your asset in terms of four specific integrity threats (e.g.
Corrosion, Pipe Design, etc.).
• Provides powerful analysis tools (e.g. risk driver drill down, interactive
threats, ranking matrix graphs) that help you make decisions on which
Preventive and Mitigation Measures will be most effective in lowering the
total ROF on each pipe segment.
• Manages historical results sets to show risk improvement – great in an audit
environment.
• Leverage all you know about your piping systems – turning gathered
knowledge into Integrity Management.
