Process Safety Engineering

Process safety engineering is at the core of everything we do. We provide services including:

  • Process / Fire Hazard Assessment (PHA / FHA)

  • Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA)

  • Process Safety Simulation / Process Safety Time

  • Consequence Modelling (Fire, Explosion, Flammable and Toxic Gas Dispersion)

  • Operational Data Benchmarking and Modelling

  • Hazardous Area Classification (EI/IP 15) / ATEX / DSEAR

  • COMAH Regulations Compliance and Safety Report

  • ALARP demonstration & Cost Benefit Analysis

  • Facilitation of Safety Reviews including HAZOP, HAZID, LOPA & Bow-tie

  • SIL Determination and SIF Design (IEC 61511)

  • Firewater/Foam System Design (NFPA 15, 20, 22)

  • Alarm setting and prioritisation

  • Relief Valve Sizing

  • Thermal Radiation Modelling and Flare/Vent Sizing

  • Incident investigation and analysis

  • Technical safety review of MoCs

  • Fire and Gas Detection Mapping

  • Passive Fire Protection (PFP) Studies and Vessel Survivability Analysis

  • Emergency Escape and Egress Layouts and Planning

Our Experience

LNG & Upstream Onshore & Offshore

We have extensive knowledge of LNG facilities design and operation and understand the unique challenges involved with cryogenic fluids. Our Engineers know what represents good industry practice and are familiar with the requirements of BS-EN-1473 and other UK, European and American standards.

Our Engineers have a wealth of experience in delivering process, technical and functional safety design across the upstream oil and gas industry both onshore and offshore.

Process optimisation

We also have the capability to conduct plant capacity reviews and benchmarking to:

  • Identify opportunities to optimise processes.

  • Identify safety constraints when considering changes to operation or fluid composition.

  • Plan maintenance to minimise impact on throughput.

  • Deliver customer editable tools that can be used again and again.
