WHY ASSET INTEGRITY AND PROCESS SAFETY CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION

Asset integrity and process safety management is the critical practice to ensure seamless operations with the ability for a plant to function effectively and efficiently for continuous productivity, and a safe work environment. This is crucial especially for oil, gas and petrochemical assets which can include highly complex infrastructures and legacy facilities requiring advanced inspection and monitoring to prevent failures, hazardous incidents, and unplanned shutdowns to achieve smooth operations and prevent production interruption. However, the industry still struggles with attaining excellence in asset integrity and process safety due to key challenges, such as the change in operating parameters versus design stage, material degradation, corrosion, fatigue, and deviations from the fundamental principles of HAZOP.

The upcoming Asset Integrity and Process Safety Conference & Exhibition, taking place on 2 May – 4 May 2023 in Jubail, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will focus on addressing the key issues of asset life extension and optimization of maintenance strategies to ensure you improve the integrity and reliability of your assets while maintaining production capability and reducing operational cost. The conference will provide an effective platform for Asset Integrity, Process Safety, Reliability, Inspection, NDT & NDE, Corrosion Control, HAZOP, Operations and Maintenance professionals to interact, share knowledge, and exchange best practices to effectively manage assets and showcase the latest technological advancements to tackle faced challenges.

WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE

CONFERENCE CHAIRMAN

On behalf of the Asset Integrity and Process Safety Conference and Exhibition 2023 organizing committee, we welcome you in Jubail Industrial City.

As petrochemical assets age, they require special attention to maintain their mechanical integrity. This could be achieved by applying industry tried and tested solutions as well as by abiding with international codes and standards. The theme for AIPS 2023 is “Advanced strategies and technologies to optimize production”. It is intended to address chronic issues related to asset integrity and process safety and its associated challenges to improve asset reliability and prevent unplanned shutdowns.

The conference is designed to bring all practical experience in all aspects of asset integrity and process safety under one roof to create and facilitate discussion forums. The forums will cover issues that have become major threat on the integrity and operation of plant equipment in metallic and nonmetallic assets. A key drive for this conference is updating industrial technical knowledge among local professionals, industrial experts, scientists and academia, to ensure the delivery of state-of-art technologies, best practices and services through the conference eminent keynote speakers, well-versed technical sessions and Exhibition.

APIS 2023 organizing committee is working hard to make ideal platform for knowledge exchange, learning and networking. We look forward to welcoming you in Jubail Industrial City, the biggest industrial city in the world.
