About Us
Driving experts in engineering consulting
At Petromeches, we understand that pressure boundary integrity is the heart of the process and process safety of any oil and gas production and processing facility, our expertise in the area of fitness for service assessment for pipelines and pressure vessels do assist in informed business continuity decisions. In everything we do, our goal is to provide mechanical integrity solutions that help prevent loss of primary containment (LOPC) and ensure that fluid remains in the pipeline, thus saving the lives of people, FPSO and Production Platforms. We do this by combining five elements:
- Health and Safety are inherent to our Mechanical Integrity Solutions
- Use of subject matter knowledge and expertise (SME) - We thrive to technical excellence.
- Respect and value to our customers.
- Adherence to international standards, best practices, code of conduct and local government decrees.
- collaboration with international engineering institutions, including the institution of Mechanical Engineers in UK, UK Engineering Council & locally the Angola Engineering Council
Our services
We are experts in Mechanical integrity Assessments
Piping and pressure vessel
fitness for service evaluations
We provide Mechanical Integrity assessments solutions through the following scopes:
- Fitness for service assessments in accordance with ASME FFS-1/API579 and other relevant industry standards to inform about fitness for continued service of your asset piping and pressure vessels ,respectively:
- ASME FFS-1/ API579 part 5, LTA Level 1,2 and 3 (Finite Element Analysis).
- API -579, Part 3 , piping components Brittle fracture.
- API 579 part 6-Pitting corrosion evaluation
- API 579 part 9 ,level 1,2&3- Crack like Flaws assessments.
- We will determine the remaining life of your asset damaged component (piping system) when deemed fit for continued services as well as provide sound technical and experience driven recommendations when it is deemed not fit for service.
- Fatigue life design and assessments of steel products per BS7608.
- Engineering Integrity anomaly repairs solutions-ASME PCC2
- Equipment maintenance strategy analysis.
Advanced Piping
Vibration Analysis
It is estimated that 10% to 15% of offshore facilities pipe work failures are caused by vibration (Energy Institute). Changes in operation philosophies are inherent to any brownfield. These changes in operating philosophies when imposed by either plant aging, production profile changes, pipe supports, wall thickness, diameters, pessure, temperature flow direction, may cause the excitation source frequency to coincide with the system structural natural frequency.
- Mechanical Vibration Analysis
- Flow induced vibration(FIV) assessments
- Accoustic Induced Vibration(AIV) assessments
- Thermowells Vibration analysis.
- Corrosion Risk based analysis: API 580 and API 581 analysis We conduct RBA-Risk based assessments for evergreening your integrity programme.
Piping Stress Analysis
Piping systems are subjected to several loading conditions during start ups, steady state operations and shut downs, however, in-sevice systems changes in the components geometries including pipe supports, wall thickness, diameters, pessure, temperature, flow direction and the presence of transient conditions, may lead to amplification of the stresses resulting in overstressing of the pipework leading to failures and loss of pimary containment.
We will conduct:
- Static stress analysis
- Dynamic advanced stress analysis.
- Nozzle loading assessments
- Spring hanger design and inservice performance analsys.
- We will provide sound technical driven recommendations that will ensure overstress-free system operations.
Valves
- We conduct Root Cause Failure Analysis of Valves.
- We carry out Valves Maintenance Strategy assessments.
- Valves Maintenance Strategy Optimization.
More services
