Mark Carte & Brian Olsen to present, “Avoid Stress Relaxation Cracking Failures in Syngas Plants”
One of the biggest concerns for owners of syngas and downstream plants in syngas manufacturing industries, is a loss of primary containment event, which brings with it the potential for fatalities, significant equipment damage, and plant downtime.
This paper reviews 22 cases of equipment failure due to stress relaxation cracking (SRC), in an endeavor to provide insight into:
• How to avoid SRC failures in service by designing out at the construction stage?
• Why SRC is frequently not considered in your mechanical integrity RBI program?
