Company Bio:
The Equity Engineering Group, Inc. is a recognized leader on aging infrastructure fixed equipment service and support for the oil and gas industry. E²G helps plants manage risk and improve profitability with cutting-edge software and consulting strategies that maximize equipment operational availability, control inspection costs and avoid costly shutdowns.

Products:
API RBI Software is the industry standard for plant risk management, developed through the API consensus standards process and documented in API 581. It provides risk values and metrics for equipment, enabling plants to identify areas of potential failure and prioritize inspection dollars based on measured risk. Modules include fixed equipment, heat exchanger bundles, atmospheric storage tanks, and pressure relief systems.

VCESage™ is a collection of modules providing an easy-to-use computerized design/analysis resource consistent with the new API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 standard. The modules enable users to review and/or analyze existing and new equipment for structural integrity, code compliance, re-rating and remaining life evaluations.

VCEDamage Mechanisms™ is a quick reference guide to identify the potential damage mechanisms that can cause equipment failure. It guides users through the damage mechanism identification process, helps in selecting the best inspection method for each damage type, and provides simplified Process Flow Diagrams showing where damage will likely occur.

VCEIntelliJoint™ offers a total solution to bolted joint leakage with the latest advanced bolted joint technology, including assembly procedures and gasket test results. The program provides industry best practice gasket specifications and incorporates knowledge in areas required to effectively identify the root cause of a leakage problem.

Training:
Equity Engineering offers software training for the API RBI and VCE Sage™ programs, as well as training in other engineering disciplines. The software courses, designed to help both the novice and experienced user make more effective use of the software, emphasize both hands-on training and in-class example problems. Public courses are held at E²G offices in Cleveland and Houston, or private courses can be held at your site. To find out more about E²G training courses, go to www.equityeng.com.
