A database and query system for refinery vessels
- Techsoft, Naperville, IL (United States)
Maintaining pressure vessel integrity has always required accurate and complete record keeping. The presence of OSHA 1910, however, requires record keeping that is even more accurate and -- more importantly -- accessible on demand. All chemical process industries, and especially refineries, are challenged to find better ways to document the inspection and maintenance work they perform. This paper discusses a software program that provides a comprehensive, user-friendly approach to this problem. It provides: (1) A Data Entry and Recovery System for all sections of every pressure vessel in a refinery. In addition to storing U-1 Manufacturers Data Form information, the program also provides space for other important data, including internal environment. (2) A Query System that produces on demand a list of equipment that satisfies any or all of 36 defining criteria. (3) A self-checking data entry system that makes it virtually impossible to enter incorrect data, even for computer novices. (4) Vessel History records for all components, including heat exchanger tubes and bundles. (5) A Windows format that allows the integration of other vendors` thickness, warehouse and maintenance programs.
