How Pressure Vessels Fail: Mechanisms, Case Studies, and Engineering Strategies for Prevention
Premium Webinar
For PEA Members Only
Pressure vessel failures rarely happen the way textbooks describe them. Codes tell you how to design — but not how vessels actually fail in the field under real operating conditions, real materials, and real human decisions.
This live webinar, led by Chemical Engineer Jefy Jean Anuja Gladis, moves beyond code-based design into mechanism-driven failure analysis. Drawing on her experience in the German process engineering industry and a background shaped at Cornell University, Jefy will walk engineers through the stress systems, failure modes, and inspection blind spots that sit behind most incidents in chemical plants — and equip you with a practical framework to answer: given this vessel, operating condition, and material, what is most likely to fail, how, and when?
Webinar Objectives
Define what "failure" really means beyond rupture — including leakage, deformation, and fitness-for-service loss.
Identify the stress systems and failure drivers acting on pressure vessels in real operating conditions.
Recognize the major failure modes — fatigue, creep, brittle fracture, corrosion, and stress-driven mechanisms.
Select appropriate inspection and detection techniques matched to each failure mode.
Apply engineering prevention strategies grounded in real-world case studies and lessons from past incidents.

Streamlining the Data Stream : Building a Robust Real-Time Data Journey
In modern drilling operations, the speed and quality of your real-time data decides how fast — and how confidently — your team can act. Delays, gaps, and messy data streams still cost operators millions every year in avoidable NPT, rework, and missed decisions.This one-hour session walks through the complete real-time data journey — from acquisition at the rig site to delivery into the hands of subsurface and drilling teams. Through a live demonstration, Rómulo Cuevas will show how a properly configured WITSML pipeline, combined with automated cleaning and mapping, can push clean, high-frequency data into your project environment with updates every few seconds.If your real-time workflow still depends on manual data handling, delayed feeds, or fragmented tools, this session will show you what a modern setup actually looks like — and what it takes to get there.Whether you're a drilling engineer, geologist, or part of a real-time operations team, this webinar will help you streamline your data processes, reduce inefficiencies, and unlock faster insights across your operations.
