4.5.2 Adequate training should be planned and implemented by Owner as part of training policy to
ensure all relevant personnel are competent to execute the corrosion management activities.
4.5.3 To ensure effective implementation of CMP, CMT members shall be trained and
knowledgeable on CMMP in their respective operating area or unit. The training should at least
include information on:
i. The basis, purpose and intent of each monitoring activities and parameters

the predetermined action within the specified timeframe and the undesirable
short and long term consequences of failing to take action within the specified
time frame
vi. The difference between mechanical and process design conditions, and IOW.
5.1.1 The main objective of CDBM is to specify the corrosion risk mitigation to be implemented
during project detailed design and construction stage to ensure the constructed asset can be
safely and reliably operated throughout the design life. CDBM shall be a basis of minimum
requirement to be referred during project detailed design stage.
5.1.2 For all new facility, CDBM shall be developed during FEED stage or preferably as early as during
conceptual design stage and continuously reviewed until the construction stage.
5.1.3 CDBM shall be developed with reference to Project DBM document. Recommended document
to develop CDBM is listed in Appendix 2.

Owner MCI engineer assigned to the PMT and endorsed by Technical Authority (MCI).
ii. Corrosion Risk Assessment to identify potential corrosion threats and DMs based
on design and operating condition
iv. Required corrosion mitigation and control such as CI, coating and lining, CP and
design layout e.g. type of elbow.
vi. Any corrosion related requirement during construction and fabrication stage such
as chloride limit in HT medium
Material of construction and design features shall be selected based on the result of corrosion
risk assessment. As minimum, the following factors should be considered in the material
selection process:
ii. Corrosion Control and Mitigation – The application of corrosion control and
mitigation may allow the use of inferior material or reduce the required CA.
However, the suitability, effectiveness and availability of the corrosion control and
mitigation should be properly evaluated as per section 5.1.8.
iii. Inspection and Maintenance – The selected material may require periodic
inspection and maintenance. Accessibility and cost for inspection and
maintenance shall be considered.
iv. Availability and Ease of Fabrication – Priority shall be given to materials that are
readily available in the market with proven fabrication capability including ease of
welding and forming.
v. Life Cycle Cost (LCC) – The selected material shall give the lowest LCC throughout
the facilities design life. Refer to Section 5.1.10 for discussion on LCC.
CA should be specified to manage general corrosion based on the expected corrosion rate and
the design life.
Other specific design and fabrication requirement such as the need for PWHT and injection
quill design shall be in accordance to specific design and fabrication code and standard
requirement.
Based on the result of corrosion risk assessment, CDBM shall specify minimum requirement
for corrosion control and mitigation to complement the material and design selection.
Corrosion control and mitigation includes application of coating and lining, injection of CI or
application of CP system.
ii. Design and Operating Condition - Suitability and effectiveness of corrosion control
is highly dependent on operating condition. For example, some coating or lining
system may be damaged at high temperature condition.
iv. Reliability and Availability During Operation – Sufficient design allowance should
be made to ensure reliability and availability of corrosion control system while the
facility is in operation. Consideration should also be made to accommodate for
potential operational challenges including the human factors. For example, to
ensure CI injection meet the availability target, redundant CI volume tank and/or
CI volume tank to be equipped with low level indicators and alarm.
v. Life Cycle Cost (LCC) – Corrosion control and mitigation may require additional
capital expenditure for hardware such as pump skid for CI and TRU for CP. In
addition, corrosion control and mitigation may impose additional operational
expenditure such as chemical cost for CI and electricity cost for impressed current
CP system. The operating expenditure should include the cost for inspection,
monitoring and maintenance of the corrosion control system. Therefore,
economic analysis shall be performed in determining the most economical options
in term of LCC. Refer to Section 5.1.10 for discussion of LCC.
Economic appraisal based on the LCC shall be carried out to evaluate multiple technically
acceptable options. As an example, the use of CS with CI and monitoring throughout the life of
the facility shall be evaluated in comparison to the use of corrosion resistance alloy. LCC
analysis should be conducted in reference to ISO 15663.
5.3.1 CMP is a comprehensive document that describes the critical information and requirement for
assessing and mitigating risk associated with corrosion and DM. The main outcome of CMP
study is CMMP.
5.3.2 A specific CMP shall be developed for each process unit, system and facility to address
requirements outlined in this document. CMP document shall at least specify:
iii. CMS implementation including roles and responsibility of CMT members, usually
in form of RACI Matrix
5.3.3 CMT shall establish written procedures or working guideline for development and
implementation of CMP.
5.3.4 CMP shall be developed as early as in construction stage by PMT and continuously be
implemented throughout the operation stage by Owner. For existing facility with no CMP
implementation, Owner shall develop and implement CMP accordingly.
Corrosion risk assessment shall be carried out to identify expected corrosion and DM, critical
equipment, circuit or system, and potential hazards from loss of containment. The corrosion
risk assessment shall consider previous, current and anticipated future operating condition
during normal, upset, start-up, shutdown and special operating condition such as catalyst
regeneration, decoking and hydrogen stripping.
Corrosion risk assessment is usually conducted during the development of PRBI and shall be
reviewed during the development of CMP to validate the adequacy of existing corrosion risk
mitigation and the need for CMMP development for specific CG and DM. Examples of scenarios
and condition that require CMMP is provided in Appendix 3.
In the event of PRBI corrosion study is not available, the corrosion risk assessment for CMP
development should be conducted separately. Minimum output of corrosion risk assessment
for CMP development shall consist of;
iii. Active and potential DM including basis and justification for inclusion and/or
elimination of DM
Any additional corrosion monitoring, and corrosion control and mitigation recommended by
SME shall be considered.
The corrosion risk assessment result should be part of CCD developed in accordance to API RP
970.
CMMP is a document that specifies structured monitoring plan and strategic action for the
respective limit.
The need for CMMP shall be based on the result of corrosion risk assessment and PRBI
corrosion study review and validation (Section 5.3.6).
For each identified CG, CMMP shall be generated and shall consist of the following information:
i. CG
ii. DM
v. Monitoring frequency
viii. Type of IOW Limit i.e. upper limit, lower limit, upper-and-lower limit and lower-
and-upper limit
ix. IOW Limit Category i.e. Target, Warning and Critical Limit
The basis and justification for the selection CG and DM to be monitored and details of CMMP
shall be documented.
i. Able to detect, quantify or trends corrosivity of the fluids, sufficient for CMT to
make informed decisions.
ii. Able to provide monitoring data with sufficient accuracy and precision for
interpreting and understanding the corrosion status of the facilities.
iii. Able to provide data and information within an appropriate time frame to enable
the Operator to investigate the cause of deviation or adjust corrosion mitigation
measures before significant damage can occur.
ii. The use of online sensors that are connected to DCS will enable a more dynamic
detection and response by the engineers to any operational upset.
iii. The use of an external non-intrusive sensors allows the sensors to be moved to
other locations that are deemed more corrosive based on inspection data and
process monitoring or sampling.
NACE Publication 3T199 should be referred to in determining the suitable monitoring activities.
The monitoring location selection should be based on the expected DM and arrangement of
the equipment or piping of concern. Selection of the monitoring locations of corrosion
monitoring tools and sampling point should consider the location that is representative to the
corrosivity of the system which is typically the most corrosive location within a CG.
For in-service facilities, corrosion monitoring location should be selected, where applicable
based on existing instrumentation and/or sampling points to ensure practical implementation
of CMP and avoid extensive and unnecessary facilities modification. Where possible, after
considering of all other factors, locations that are accessible to Operators or Technicians to
collect data without employing scaffolding should be selected.
Any additional corrosion monitoring and sampling locations recommended by SME shall be
considered.
The monitoring frequency should be based on the monitoring activities and techniques,
corrosivity of the system, risk of the system and mode of operation of the facility. Monitoring
and sampling frequency normally vary from hourly for online data collection to yearly for
specialized sampling and testing.
Specific monitoring frequency established in the CMMP shall be based on the following
consideration:
ii. Frequent enough to allow reasonable amount of data to be collected for trending
to make informed decision
iii. Sufficiently exposed to the fluid service to allow accurate, precise and meaningful
data collection.
unmanned operation is not suitable to have a monitoring system that requires weekly manual
and on-site data collection and should be changed to automated and/or online system.
i. Process parameters that directly affect corrosion behaviour (i.e. corrosion factor)
from online analyser, local indicator and process sampling. Examples of such
parameters includes temperature, pH, concentration of corrodent and flow rate
ii. Parameters that indicates effectiveness and availability of corrosion mitigation and
control to ensure corrosivity of the system is maintained within acceptable range.
Examples of such parameters includes CI availability and CP structure-to-
electrolyte potential
iii. Parameters, typically corrosion rate, collected from corrosion monitoring tools
such as corrosion probe and corrosion coupon.
Each monitoring parameter shall be evaluated and categorized as NCM, Standard or Trending
based on definition and criteria outlined below
i. NCM (i.e. Critical) Parameter is a parameter that require special attention due to
its criticality to the integrity of the equipment and piping within a CG. Generally,
NCM parameter requires a more frequent monitoring and more definitive and
predetermined deviation response with limited response time.
The IOW can be either upper limit, lower limit, upper-and-lower limit or lower-and-upper limit,
which are assigned to each monitoring parameters based on the DM. Examples of type of IOW
limit is provided in Appendix 4.
The IOW shall be categorized as Target, Warning and Critical Limit through the adoption of a
“traffic light”’ system based on potential for the DM to occur, facilities design life, operational
philosophy and turnaround strategy. Table 5.1 below describes the definition for each IOW
category.
IOW Category Color Definition
Limit to be maintained within to ensure compliance to
Target Limit Green
design life and acceptable risk
If exceeded can lead to increase in degradation rates or
Warning Limit Yellow
introduction of new DM
Critical Limit Red If exceeded can lead to rapid deterioration
Table 5.1: IOW Category
The specific definition for IOW category should be discussed and agreed with Owner at the
start of CMMP development.
For any monitoring parameters that individual data points have little meaning, the analysis
process should focus on data trending over a specified period. For these type of parameters,
IOW shall be set in term of changes in the trend instead of specific IOW value. For example,
monitoring of changes to iron count trend is more meaningful to indicates changes to the
system corrosivity that the value of individual data point.
Basis and the specific reference used to establish the IOW shall be stated and documented.
API RP 584 should be referred for establishing the IOW.
Deviation Response is the suggested or typical actions to be taken when the monitored
parameters deviate into warning or critical IOW region.
The response towards the IOW deviation, including response time, shall be defined and level
of urgency of each response shall be properly differentiate in accordance to parameters
criticality and IOW category. For example, deviations to critical IOW limits for NCM parameters
will normally require an urgent specific and predetermined response by the operator to avoid
more rapid equipment degradation problems. On the other hand, deviations to warning limits
of standard or trending parameter will require less urgent response.
In some cases, to facilitate short response time, risk assessment should be conducted to
determine the need for alarm and/or automated deviation response.
Critical deviation responses that will affect operation or process of the facility should be
recorded in Cause & Effect Matrix. Examples of such scenario are process unit need to be shut
downed in the in the event of non-availability of CI system or steam boiler to be shut downed
when DO concentration in boiler feed water exceed maximum allowable limit.
i. Data collection
v. Reporting
Data analysis covers comparison of the monitored data against the defined IOW. Adoption of
software and intelligent modelling utilizing real time data should be considered for the
following benefits:
ii. Allow incorporation of design data and operational conditions with the latest DM
knowledge to enhance predictive analytics
iii. Enable IOW monitoring of historical data as part of big data compilation for
machine learning.
Any anomaly or deviation shall be identified and highlighted to respective member of CMT for
necessary corrective action to be carried out.
CMP is a live document and shall be regularly updated at defined intervals or as needed to
account for new or previously unknown information including
vi. Failure
Corrosion and DM review should be integrated with the periodic review of an RBI analysis,
where it has been implemented and any changes of the degradation rates or introducing of
new DM shall be incorporated and updated in PRBI corrosion study
MOC process shall be applied whenever NCM or Standard Parameters are being revised or
changed.
The effectiveness of established CMP shall be validated in term of its capability to:
ii. Warn the facilities of locations where inspection should be carried out;
iii. Warn the facilities of which equipment and piping sections that will not reach the
desired life;
vi. Enable process engineers and operators to appreciate the impact of operation
conditions on asset integrity.
vii. Provide cost benefits and mitigations plan that positively impact continuous
operations.
Corrosion monitoring data, inspection data and operating experience shall be used as a basis
to optimize CMMP, for example,
ii. Inspection findings and results should be used to determine suitability of existing
monitoring location and the need for additional monitoring locations.
iii. Deviation response actions, where possible, can be detailed out based on
operating experience in managing deviations to IOW
The CMP work process should be optimized through integration with other MI program or
work process for example:
i. The CMP work process and documentation should be a resource for the RBI work
process and vice versa. CMP reassessment workshop and RBI reassessment
workshop could be combined where there is complete overlap in resources and
timing of the two programs.
ii. The analysis of IOW exceedances should be an input in RBI analysis and inspection
plans generated by RBI should be updated to incorporate changes in system
corrosivity
iii. The IOW list and documentation should be a resource for PHA. IOW exceedances
especially critical IOW exceedances of NCM parameters should be reviewed by the
PHA team to determine if actions or limits may need to be revised.
iv. MOC work process should be closely integrated with the CMP work process for
any changes, additions or deletions to be made to the CMMP or IOW.
5.3.17 Report

Table A1: Roles and Responsibility Description of CMT Members
Recommended document and data for CDBM development is provided in Table A2.1 below.
Recommended document and data for CMP development is provided in Table A2.2 below.
Examples of scenarios and conditions where CMMP is recommended to complement IRP in optimizing
asset integrity risk management includes:
Damage or corrosion rate is sensitive to process condition thus monitoring allow early
detection to minimize exposure to corrosive environment
Process upset or changes that will introduce new DM that the equipment or piping is not
designed for
ALARP demonstration for High or Very High Risk asset or system (i.e. CG) driven by CoF
Examples of scenarios or conditions where CMMP may not be necessary as the risk is considered
sufficiently addressed by PRBI IRP includes:
External DMs such as atmospheric corrosion and CUI where monitoring is not practical or
inspection is more effective to manage the risk
DMs has been designed out by material selection or fabrication process such as PWHT
Supplied utilities where the quality is guaranteed by the supplier and variation in quality is
not expected or not damaging to the asset
Description and examples of various types of IOW limit are discussed in Table A4 below.
Type of IOW Limit Description and Examples
Lower Limit Operating parameter shall not be allowed
to drop below some defined value.
This self-assessment checklist is adopted with modification from Guidance for Corrosion Management
in Oil and Gas Production & Processing, Energy Institute, Oil & Gas, London (UK), May 2008.
The questions are organised based on elements of CMS. In total, there are 113 questions in the
checklist and the number of questions for each CMS elements are as follow:
