Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of petrochemical industry equipment risk management, and more particularly to a petrochemical RBI risk management system. The RBI refers to risk-based inspection, a method for risk assessment and management of plant equipment (such as pressure vessels, pipelines, safety valves, etc.). It optimizes inspection plans and resource allocation by analyzing the likelihood of equipment failure and the severity of consequences, ensuring safety while reducing costs. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the prior art, the RBI (Risk-Based Inspection) risk management of petrochemical industry for equipment mainly relies on traditional decentralized data processing, empirical risk assessment, static inspection strategy and lagging monitoring and coordination scheme, and has not yet formed a digital, dynamic and intelligent whole-process management system. Specifically, the core implementation mode of the existing RBI risk management scheme includes: integrating equipment data scattered in the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system, the DCS (Distributed Control System) and various offline detection reports by artificial means, relying on expert subjective experience to assess the likelihood of equipment failure (POF) and the consequences of failure (COF), adopting a fixed cycle (such as uniform 3 years) inspection strategy, and updating the equipment risk state through artificial analysis once every quarter or half a year, and the inspection task tracking is disconnected between departments (equipment department, process department, safety department) due to data barriers.

[0003] The existing petrochemical RBI risk management scheme has four core technical bottlenecks, which are difficult to meet the dual needs of high safety guarantee and low cost management of petrochemical industry for equipment, and the specific technical problems are as follows:

[0004] First, the data integration efficiency is low and the data quality is poor. The data required by the existing RBI management is stored in multiple independent systems such as ERP system, DCS system and offline detection report, and the data format is not unified, which requires artificial integration. The artificial integration process occupies more than 60% of the risk analysis cycle, seriously affecting the management efficiency; at the same time, unstructured data such as detection reports accounts for more than 50% of all data, and the error rate of manual extraction of such data is ≥20%, the data credibility is insufficient, which directly restricts the effectiveness of the subsequent risk assessment results.

[0005] Second, risk assessment relies on experience and judgment, and the assessment results are rough. The existing RBI management system (such as early RBI tools) lacks standardized quantitative model support and mainly relies on expert subjective judgment to carry out failure probability (POF) and failure consequence (COF) assessment, which can only divide the risk into three fuzzy levels of "high / medium / low", and cannot achieve accurate quantification. The measured data of a certain refinery shows that the error of using this type of assessment method can reach ±40%, which is easy to lead to missed detection of high-risk equipment and hidden safety hazards.

[0006] Third, the inspection strategy is static and fixed, and the adaptability is poor. The existing scheme adopts a "one-size-fits-all" fixed cycle inspection strategy, which does not consider the real-time state differences such as corrosion rate changes and process parameter fluctuations during equipment operation, and cannot dynamically adjust the inspection frequency and detection method. Industry statistics show that due to the rigidity of such strategy, the unnecessary cost caused by over-inspection in the petrochemical industry exceeds 3 billion yuan per year, and the leakage accidents of high-risk equipment caused by insufficient inspection frequency account for 65% of the total number of industry equipment accidents, making it difficult to balance safety and economy.

[0007] Fourth, the risk monitoring response is lagging and the multi-department cooperation is insufficient. The existing RBI management relies on periodic manual analysis for updating the risk state of equipment, and the update cycle is usually quarterly or semi-annually, which cannot timely capture the risk changes caused by dynamic corrosion, process fluctuations and other factors, and the risk dynamic missing judgment rate is high; in addition, there are serious data barriers between equipment, process, safety and other departments, and data cannot be shared, leading to disconnection of inspection task tracking, and the average response period after abnormal situation occurs is ≥7 days, which cannot meet the rapid disposal demand.

[0008] The above defects of the existing technology, combined with industry standard requirements, actual pain points and technical support conditions, promote the research and development of the technical scheme of the present application, and the specific research and development background is as follows:

[0009] From the perspective of standard driving, API581 version 4 (2025) has compulsorily required that the petrochemical RBI management needs to realize "dynamic risk assessment" and "multi-source data fusion", and the domestic "RBI Work Specification for Pressure Equipment" also clearly proposes that the RBI management system needs to complete "digital and intelligent upgrading", and the existing static and experiential RBI scheme cannot meet the latest industry standard requirements, and urgent technical upgrading is needed.

[0010] From the perspective of industry pain points, the annual equipment maintenance cost of petrochemical enterprises exceeds 200 million yuan, of which the accident loss caused by inaccurate RBI risk assessment accounts for 30%; the daily loss caused by unplanned shutdown of large-scale refining and chemical devices due to equipment failure exceeds 8 million yuan, and the industry has an urgent need for RBI technology that can realize accurate risk control and reduce cost and loss.

[0011] From the perspective of technical support, the industrial Internet of Things (5G communication, edge computing) technology can realize real-time collection of device data, machine learning (reinforcement learning, LSTM neural network) technology provides algorithm support for intelligent decision-making, and blockchain technology can guarantee the reliable storage of data. The maturity of the above technologies provides the feasibility for the digitalization and intelligentization upgrade of petrochemical RBI management, and creates conditions for solving the defects of existing technologies. SUMMARY

[0012] Therefore, the present application provides a petrochemical RBI risk management system, which aims to solve the problems of low integration efficiency caused by data silos, insufficient evaluation accuracy caused by experience dependence, test resource mismatch caused by static strategy (specifically, over-testing of low-risk equipment increases costs or insufficient testing of high-risk equipment), and delayed response caused by lagging monitoring in traditional petrochemical RBI risk management, thereby improving the digitalization, intelligentization and dynamization level of petrochemical equipment risk management, and achieving the comprehensive goal of improving the safety and optimizing the economy of petrochemical equipment risk management.

[0054] Compared with the prior art, the petrochemical RBI risk management system can realize the digital management of the whole process of the risk-based inspection of petrochemical equipment, and through the technical architecture of multi-source equipment data acquisition and cleaning, risk quantization modeling and failure mechanism matching, intelligent generation and optimization of inspection strategy, dynamic risk monitoring and early warning, and whole-process collaborative closed-loop management, the petrochemical equipment risk management is realized dynamically and intelligently by combining the industrial Internet of Things, machine learning prediction and blockchain storage technology, and the equipment safety management level and the economic efficiency of resource allocation are effectively improved, and the petrochemical RBI risk management system has the following beneficial effects:

[0055] First, the data integration efficiency and quality are significantly improved.

[0056] The petrochemical RBI risk management system realizes the automatic integration and cleaning of equipment basic data, operation data, detection data and corrosion data by multi-source equipment data standardized acquisition and fusion processing and a multi-source data fusion algorithm based on Dempster-Shafer evidence theory (in line with the API581 fourth edition (2025) multi-source data reliability evaluation recommended method), solves the problems of low efficiency and high error rate of traditional manual integration, and makes the data integration efficiency improved by 90% and the data accuracy rate improved to more than 96%.

[0057] Data support statement:

[0058] The calculation basis of the 90% efficiency improvement is that, taking 200 key equipment (including 30 towers, 20 reactors and 150 pipe sections) of a refinery as test samples, the traditional manual integration needs to extract data from ERP, DCS and detection reports one by one and manually associate, and the average time consumption is 72 hours; the system can complete the integration of the same samples only by 7.2 hours through protocol adaptation (Modbus / OPC UA) and automatic association algorithm, (Symbol explanation: T 传统 is the time consumption of traditional manual integration, and T 系统 is the time consumption of automatic integration of the system).

[0059] The verification basis of the accuracy rate of more than 96% is that 5000 multi-source data (including 1000 equipment basic data, 2000 operation data, 1200 detection data and 800 corrosion data) are input during the test, 4802 of which are "real correct data" marked by manual, and 198 of which are error data identified after system fusion,

[0060]

[0061] (Symbol explanation: is the total amount of multi-source data for testing, is the amount of error data identified after system fusion), which meets the quantitative index of "more than 96%".

[0062] Algorithm reliability basis: the fusion logic of Dempster-Shafer evidence theory has been verified by API581 Appendix B "Multi-source data reliability assessment case" in the fourth edition, and the accuracy rate of the system in the test for processing conflicting data (such as wall thickness deviation of the same device by different detection methods) reaches 97%, which is consistent with the standard case.

[0063] Second, greatly improve the accuracy and reliability of risk assessment.

[0064] The present application realizes the accurate division of risk grade and the accurate identification of failure mechanism by constructing a multi-factor coupled failure probability (POF) quantification model and a safety-environment-economy three-dimensional consequence (COF) assessment model, and matching the typical failure mechanism of petrochemical equipment based on the decision tree algorithm (training set containing 5000+ petrochemical equipment failure cases), the risk assessment error is controlled within 10%, the mechanism matching accuracy is increased to 90%, and the missed judgment of high-risk equipment is effectively avoided.

[0065] Data support statement:

[0066] Verification basis of POF calculation error ≤10%: 100 devices with known risk grade are selected (from API581 Appendix C "POF verification case library" in the fourth edition, the reference POF value range is 0.02-0.18), the average deviation of the POF value calculated by the system and the reference value is 4.17%. For example: the reference POF of a hydrogenation reactor is 0.12, the calculated value of the system is 0.115,

[0067]

[0068] (Symbol interpretation: POF 基准 is the reference failure probability value in the API581 verification case library, POF 系统 is the failure probability value calculated by the system), which meets the "error ≤10%".

[0069] Calculation basis of mechanism matching accuracy 90%: the failure mechanism library clearly contains 20 typical mechanisms (12 types of corrosion: high-temperature sulfur corrosion, wet hydrogen sulfide corrosion, naphthenic acid corrosion, etc.; 8 types of mechanical damage: fatigue crack, creep, erosion, hydrogen-induced cracking, etc., according to the classification in "Petrochemical Equipment Corrosion and Protection Handbook" (2022 edition)); 180 device failure cases (covering 20 types of mechanisms) are tested, and the system correctly matches 162, ;

[0070] Among them, is the total number of device failure cases tested, is the number of cases correctly matched by the system.

[0071] Third, realize the balance optimization of economic and safety of inspection strategy.

[0072] The application generates a dynamic inspection scheme based on the risk level of the equipment, and realizes adaptive optimization of the inspection cycle and resources through a reinforcement learning algorithm (reward function aiming at "safety improvement + cost saving") and an integer programming model, while ensuring that the defect detection rate of high-risk equipment is not less than 98%, the excessive inspection cost of low-risk equipment is significantly reduced.

[0073] Verification basis for high-risk equipment defect detection rate ≥98%: select 50 high-risk equipment (POF ≥4 level, 50 known hidden defects, from third-party detection agency preset defect samples), traditional fixed strategy detects 45, the system optimization strategy (100% coverage + ultrasonic + X-ray detection) detects 49, ;

[0074] Among them, is the number of known hidden defects, is the number of detected defects.

[0075] Fourth, greatly improve the risk response speed and early warning ability.

[0076] The application realizes real-time calculation and trend prediction of risk value based on sliding window algorithm (window size 30 minutes) and LSTM neural network (training set containing 3-year equipment risk time series data) through real-time risk monitoring and multi-level early warning mechanism, and uses knowledge graph (containing 5000+ petrochemical accident cases) for abnormal source analysis, risk update frequency is increased to once per hour, red early warning response time is shortened to within one hour, which fundamentally solves the problem of lagging response of traditional risk management.

[0077] Data support statement:

[0078] Test conditions for risk update frequency once per hour: the test environment is industrial Ethernet (gigabit bandwidth), deploy Kafka message queue (peak throughput 500TPS), sliding window algorithm calculates risk value every 30 minutes, 1 hour completes the whole process of "data collection-calculation-storage-visualization update", without manual intervention, meeting the real-time requirement of "once per hour".

[0079] Statistical range of red early warning response time ≤1 hour: the response time is defined as the whole process of "system triggering early warning → work order sending to inspection personnel terminal", including automatic early warning push (within 10 seconds, based on RESTful API), work order generation (within 5 minutes, based on preset template), personnel receiving confirmation (within 30 minutes, mobile terminal push); test 20 times of simulated red early warning scene (such as corrosion rate sudden increase of 0.2mm / a), average response time 42 minutes, maximum 55 minutes, all ≤1 hour.

[0080] Verification of traceability time ≤2 hours: 30 abnormal early warning cases (such as sudden pressure rise, corrosion exceeding standard) are selected, and the system locates the root cause based on the knowledge graph (including "abnormal index-direct cause-root cause" causal chain), with an average time of 1.2 hours and a maximum time of 1.8 hours, meeting the requirement of "≤2 hours".

[0081] Fifth, form multi-department cooperation and management closed loop.

[0082] The application realizes data sharing and task cooperation tracking of multiple departments such as equipment, process and safety through the permission management and work order closed loop management mechanism based on the RBAC model (role permission conforms to ISO31000 "Risk Management Role and Responsibility Specification"), so that the inspection task completion rate is improved to more than 98%, the annual equipment risk reduction rate reaches 15%, and the overall management efficiency and continuous optimization capability are significantly improved.

[0083] Data support statement:

[0084] Statistical basis for task completion rate ≥98%: The statistical period is 1 quarter (90 days), the system generates 100 inspection work orders (covering high / medium / low risk equipment), 2 are overdue (due to temporary maintenance conflict of equipment), 98 are completed, the completion rate is , the statistical range includes "work order generation-execution-acceptance-archiving" full closed loop, and does not include special work orders exempted by humans.

[0085] Annual risk reduction rate ≥15% comparison benchmark: Take the average risk value of equipment in 2023 before the system goes online as the benchmark (65 points, 100-point system, based on 5x5 risk matrix quantification), and the average risk value in 2024 after the system goes online is reduced to 55.25 points, with a reduction rate , the risk reduction is due to the reduction of high-risk equipment from 20 to 17 (defect repair in advance) and the optimization of inspection strategy for medium-risk equipment from 50 to 42.

[0086] RBAC permission accuracy rate 100% verification: Test 100 times of cross-department data access requests (equipment department accesses all data, process department accesses running data, safety department accesses risk report), and there is no permission boundary or access failure, meeting the requirement of "permission accuracy rate 100%", verified according to ISO27001 "Information Security Permission Management Specification".
