Defining, Monitoring and Maintaining IOWs
Typical parameter requiring IOWs
WGIM possesses knowledge and experience to
define process parameters that need IOWs to monitor
damage mechanisms identified during the RBI.
Exercise of defining IOWs can be done during RBI
workshop, particularly in the presence of process and
or chemical experts.
Chemical parameters are those related to the
chemistry of the process stream, as pH, water
content, oxygen content, chloride level, acid gas
loading, chemical concentration

Monitoring IOWs
Source
of
data
for

parameters
values is multiple. It
usually
varies
form
laboratory
testing
on
samples, instruments, online
analyzers, corrosion probes
and coupons. The IOW study might
recommend additional monitoring from existing ones
to complete the surveillance.
IOWs monitoring or also called surveillance, is
achieved by accessing on live and trending
parameters to make sure process remains within
IOWs. Excursions are notified and appropriate
corrective action raised.
This exercise can be manual and rely mainly on

A
fundamental
understanding
of
the
process/operating conditions and resulting damage
mechanisms are required in order to establish and
maintain an inspection program that yields the
highest probability of detecting potential damage.
