Process Safety Management

Objective of this Service is to obtain sufficient information to be able to decide whether specific facilities:

 Are able to sustain specified blast loads with no or minor modifications;

• Can be upgraded to sustain specified blast loads.
• Should be relocated.

The assessment Report will also include:

• Risk numbers for each of the facilities.
• Graphical displays of the risk contours based on Facility type and occupancy.
• Graphical displays of the pressure and impulse curves for the occupied facilities.
• Sensitivity analysis (i.e. if one plant at site is shutdown, how the contours look like. This information is used to place the connxes during turn-a rounds).
• Review Structure design of the client Building according to new condition of API St., risk assessment results and suggest the solutions for the facility.
• Fire and Toxicity Analysis in which Facts and Factors for the Protection as part of the security in the plant.  Specifically:
  Fire:
  • Identification and assessment of fire risks.
  • Study of potential ignition sources.
  • List of relevant recommendations regarding the improvements that should be done in the plant.
  Toxicity:
  • Identification and assessment of toxic risks by leaks and spills, combustion sub-products in fires, chemical decomposition of water and other waste products, etc.;
  • Study of potential toxicity sources.
  • Study of exposure of people to toxic products. Parameters to be assessed.
  • List of relevant recommendations.
