Storage tanks integrity: Anatomy of critical infrastructure
Storage tanks integrity demands design analysis, inspection, and monitoring to prevent critical failures.
Asset management integrates technical, administrative, and operational approaches to ensure equipment fulfills its function throughout its life cycle. It involves planning, risk assessment, maintenance, integrity, optimization, and infrastructure renewal.
In the energy industry, effective management balances performance, cost, and risk. Globally, the discipline advances toward digital models, data analytics, and ISO 55000 frameworks, with strong adoption in the U.S. and Europe, and progressive expansion in LATAM.
Main topics
This section gathers content for professionals managing the asset life cycle.
Key topics include:
- ISO 55000 and asset management frameworks
- Criticality and operational risk assessment
- Maintenance strategies (RCM, CBM, PM)
- Mechanical integrity and reliability
- Life cycle optimization (LCC, LCOE)
- Digitalization, digital twins, and continuous monitoring
- Investment planning and CAPEX/OPEX analysis
Asset management is essential to align technical and economic decisions in complex organizations. Challenges include data integration, operational maturity, risk management, and sustainability.
