First application of Partially Stabilized Zirconia (PSZ) shot peening in Malaysia.
Item: Sphere Tank (200 meter square)
Date : February to March 2023
Bulbous morphologies and characteristic lobes indicated that the surface experienced stress-assisted corrosion (SAC) and propagated through corrosion fatigue.
Date : June 2023
Integrity assessment to determine fitness for service by experienced in-house engineer.
Date : July 2023
Oxide estimation using ICP-OES to quantify the desired element based on peak intensity.
Date : August 2023
Plant assessment for inaccessible area.
Date : September 2023
Fire damage assessment together with dent assessment due to heat exposure.
Date : September 2023
Application of Partially Stabilized Zirconia (PSZ) shot peening in Malaysia.
Item: Reactor Nozzle (5 meter square)
Date : July 2024
Integrity assessment of static equipment after fire incident to determine fit-for-service as per API 579.
Date : October 2024
Study of static casting HP-40 G-phase embrittlement effect to the weldment integrity was carried out
Date : November 2024
Over 200,000 hours aging heater and boiler tube life assessment as per API 579 Omega method was conducted and determine the cumulated creep damage with life fraction.
Date : March 2025
Crystallographic and microstructural deformation insight for identifying mechanisms like: Creep damage (grain boundary sliding, cavitation), Fatigue crack initiation (persistent slip bands), Weld HAZ transformations (e.g., martensite, sigma phase)
Date : Oct 2025
Dented pressure vessel was assessed and fit for use without any repair needed. Assessment done by ASME Sec VIII Div 2 Part 5 methodology.
Date : April 2026
Crack like flaw occurred on the newly built vessel but outside of the HAZ region propagating towards base metal. FFS assessment result shows the crack depth and length still in the allowable FAD region.
