Starting from scratch is the best opportunity you'll ever have to build process safety into your facility's DNA. We make sure you don't miss it.
Brownfield work fights existing design decisions. Greenfield projects start with a blank canvas — which means the cost of getting safety right is lowest and the impact is highest.
Minimize hazardous inventories. Substitute less hazardous materials where process allows. Moderate operating conditions. Simplify process design. These decisions can only be made at the beginning.
Consequence modeling to inform setback distances. Prevailing wind analysis for toxic release scenarios. Control room, occupied building, and ignition source siting. Blast-resistant construction where needed.
PHA at the BFD and PFD level before P&IDs are finalized. Safeguard philosophy before instrumentation is specified. Relief system philosophy before detailed design. Get the philosophy right first.
All 14 PSM elements built before startup. No legacy systems to integrate. No conflicting procedures to reconcile. A clean, consistent program written for your specific process.
Greenfield construction means contractors on-site for years. PSM contractor program built before ground breaks. Pre-qualification criteria. Site safety plan. Contractor JSA oversight.
PSSR planning built into the construction schedule. Operator training program complete before startup. PSM documentation package ready for day one.
Liquefaction and regasification facilities. Cryogenic hazards, vapor cloud explosion scenarios, fire and gas detection system design. DOT Part 193 and NFPA 59A coordination.
Ethylene, propylene, polyethylene, polypropylene. Reactive chemistry hazards. High-pressure, high-temperature systems. Multi-unit integration hazard reviews.
New hydroprocessing units, distillation columns, hydrogen systems. Fired equipment safety. Flare system design review. API RP 750 process hazard management.
Specialty chemical production. Batch and continuous processes. Reactive hazard assessment. Chemical compatibility studies.
Green hydrogen, blue hydrogen, hydrogen storage. Deflagration and detonation scenarios. NFPA 2 and IEC 60079 compliance. Leak detection and area classification.
Pipeline facilities, compression stations, storage terminals. Vapor pressure and flash point considerations. Emergency isolation system design.
