The challenge
To address potential risks and hazards associated with the First of A Kind (FOAK) project during the Pre Front End Engineering Design (Pre-FEED) phase, Process Risk Consulting were commissioned to facilitate a Hazard Identification (HAZID) and Environmental Identification (ENVID) Workshops.
The scope of workshop included tie-ins with suppliers of Hydrogen, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and raw water along with specialised vendor processes such as Fischer-Tropsch.
In addition to this, Process Risk Consulting prepared a Bowtie of the various hazards associated with Hydrogen and CO2 for the facility to visually represent the hazards and mitigations.
Using the outputs of the HAZID, ENVID and Bowtie studies, Process Risk Consulting prepared a Major Accident Hazards (MAH) register to allow designers of the next phase of the project to clearly identify what the MAH associated with the facility are and the required protections they would need to consider within the design.
