How do you know when to be worried?

Vibration, Dynamics & Noise (VDN)3

How do you know when to be worried?

• Mixed approaches common in North America

– Acoustic and Flow induced vibration

• Not very rigorous in practice

– Small bore piping, usually not considered

• No impact of changing operating conditions considered

• Detailed design activities lost before commissioning

Know where to focus your efforts

• Risk assessment of three LNG trains

• Over 2,200 main-line vibration assessments

• Veridian used in

– vibration risk assessment

– prioritize field inspection program

• Field anomalies identified & managed using

Veridian AM.

• 1000’s of hours saved with:

– efficient data management

– One location to managing

anomaly progress

Case Example: Middle East LNG – existing facility
