Integrity Management Plan is the review or establishment of plans to ensure the long-term integrity of an asset or assets. Integrity management planning is a process for assessing and mitigating risks in an effort to reduce both the likelihood and consequences of incidents. The Integrity Management Plan (IMP) forms a part of the overall Asset integrity management

Asset integrity management

Asset Integrity Management Systems outline the ability of an asset to perform its required function effectively and efficiently whilst protecting health, safety and the environment and the means of ensuring that the people, systems, processes and resources that deliver integrity are in place, in...

 system and is audited as per the Integrity Engineering Audit

Integrity engineering audit

An Integrity engineering Audit is carried out within an Integrity engineering function so as to ensure compliance with International, National, company specific standards and regulations....

(IEA).

Plans are maintained and reviewed regularly so that they:

• Optimizes operational and capital expenditures
• Ensures adoption of best-in-class practices
• Assists management of risk
• Increases shareholder, senior management, regulator and public confidence
• Identifying risks, conducting assessments, taking preventive actions and implementing mitigate measures

An effective IMP should contain:

• A process outline – Details the process envelope (temperature pressure and velocity) in which the system operates and any critical parameters that must be followed. Also states process chemistries and contaminants that are encountered.
• A threat identification list- Information about the asset segments are evaluated to identify the threats of concerns to the asset and to assess risk.
• A Risk Analysis – A systematic process, in which potential hazards from facility operation are identified, and the likelihood and consequences of potential adverse events are estimated.
• Detailed Regulatory Requirements –details the applicable regulatory standards to be met and the methods used to comply with those standards.
• A RACI chart – Details the persons responsible, accountable for any tasks to comply with the requirements of the plan. It also states those who should be communicated to and Informed.
• Corrosion circuits – showing the system broken down into corrosion circuits shows damage mechanisms, materials of construction and process chemistry.
• Damage frequency (statistics) rates of decay
• Critical operating parameters for process safety
• Mitigation techniques, fequency, condition monitoring, inspections and process monitoring requirements.
• Historic review of asset condition todate.
• Knowledge gap analysis, missing information MDR etc review drawings etc.
• Previous failure analysis review.
• Design drawing review, materials of construction (initial).
• Management of change review, alterations and repairs carried out.
• Remediation – Repairs techniques considered.

Also

• Record keeping.
• Performance plan.
• Communication plan.
• Regular Interaction.
• Management of change.
• Prevention and Mitigation measures.
• How to Conduct assessments / frequency / Audit of system.
