RBI (API 580/581) prioritizes inspection intervals based on probability of failure (PoF) and consequence of failure (CoF). Instead of fixed intervals (e.g., 5 years), RBI allows extended runs for low-risk items (e.g., nitrogen service) and shorter, more rigorous inspections for high-risk (e.g., hydrogen reformers). It saves cost and reduces unnecessary shutdowns.
