When there is a requirement to upgrade the duty of a component, we can assess the existing margin of safety, evaluate proposed changes in design and material of construction.

For debottlenecking studies on process plant we can assess:

• The pipe lines most at risk from flow induced vibration
• The pipe lines most at risk from acoustic fatigue
• The likelihood of acoustic resonance of side branches
• The susceptibility of shell and tube heat exchangers to flow induced vibration
• The fitness for purpose of vessels & heat exchanger
