About Comimsa
COMIMSA is a self-sufficient public research center that belongs to the Mexican National Council of Science and Technology (CONACyT).
The main business lines of the institution are: Risk analysis, software development for risk-based management, reliability engineering, mechanical integrity, manufacturing engineering, materials engineering and engineering projects. These business lines are principally for the oil & gas industry sector.
Software Development
Comimsa’s software was developed in a web‐based system and its interfaces use both systems databases to reach a better risk management . Comimsa’s IT Department is certified as “Capability Maturity Model Integration” CMMI Level 3 and ISO 9001. The company’s services are currently focused on three main areas:
• Mapping and Processes Optimization
• Enterprise Software Development
• Mobile Applications Development Software
Comimsa’s HARMI® Software was developed as a Risk based inspection technology, based on the American Petroleum Institute standards. HARMI® software includes Reliability centered maintenance and Risk Based Inspection applications.
SAPIRT® is a software that allows inspection results storage using nondestructive testing in oil installations, both offshore and onshore, including processing plants and rigs.
HARMI ® – Risk Analysis, Maintenance and Inspection Tool
HARMI® software was developed according to the RBI Technology, published by the API. HARMI® is designed for planning, programming and reassessment of inspection and maintenance actions based on a risk assessment, either, for conditional failures (loss of containment) or functional failures (loss of function). The software integrates RBI and RCM methodologies. HARMI® – RBI features :
- American Petroleum Institute – API RP 580/581 based
- Quantitative and qualitative assessment
- RBI planning management
- Web based functionality
- Analysis for process equipment, process pipeline, etc.
- Managing bundles and PRDs reliability and risk
- Re-assessment inspection planning using new inspection and process data
- Functionality for mobile devices.
HARMI® Risk Based Inspection
Risk-Based inspection is a risk assessment and management process focused on the loss of the integrity of the equipment subject to pressure due to deterioration in the material.
Benefits
- Optimal inspection plans based on risk
- Identify components that given its level of risk require an increased intensity of inspection (hierarchical structuring)
- Identify critical factors that impact the risk
- Establish optimal levels in economic terms pondering the effect in reducing the risk
SAPIRT® is a software for recording and assessment of the execution of inspection plans for vessels and process piping, as well as follow up defects through maintenance management.
MAIN MODULES
- Pressure Vessel and process piping Assessment
- Condition Monitoring
- Maintenance Management
