Identify + Manage Risks of Hazardous Chemicals

Our process safety consultants have a well-established team to help audit, develop, implement and maintain your process safety program at all stages of operation to meet these critical requirements, whether or not your facility is subject to PSM compliance. Through our risk-informed approach, deep knowledge of the underlying codes and standards, and practical engineering expertise, we develop an approach to process safety tailored to your business needs.

Process Hazard Analysis (PHA)

Our certified PHA staff can help you and your team prepare for and document a PHA at the design stage, prior to startup, and during re-validations. We can develop a tracking and prioritization system to resolve PHA findings. Our team can lead your Hazards and Operability (HAZOP) studies, What-If Analyses, Failure Modes and Effects Analyses (FMEA), Fault Tree Analyses (FTA) and Event Tree Analyses (ETA).

Process Safety Program Audits

Process safety needs evolve throughout the lifecycle of a facility—from design to decommissioning. In addition to stated regulatory compliance mandates, process safety programs should reflect the current state of the facility. Our process safety management consulting is available to provide a full audit team or a subject matter expert to lead an internal team.

Adiabatic Reaction Calorimeter

Our process safety laboratory offers the full suite of analytical testing methods. This includes the Adiabatic Reaction Calorimeter (PHI-TEC II). This state-of-the-art apparatus will characterize material hazards for process safety analyses. Our scientific team can conduct quick tests to screen the runaway explosion hazard of chemicals as well as longer and more detailed tests to determine reaction data necessary for vent sizing in emergency relief system design.

Risk Analysis

For a complete Process Safety Management program, all potential impacts need to be analyzed. We will help identify and perform a Level of Protection Analysis (LOPA), Safety Integrity Level (SIL) and Safety Instrumented System (SIS) analyses for ISA S84.01 or IEC-61511 compliance, and Security Vulnerability Analysis.

Process Safety Training

Through on-site training or customized online learning, our team can help your staff keep current on a wide range of process safety training topics. Ongoing training is a cornerstone of a robust safety culture and we can help with its introduction as well.

Industrial Failure Analysis

Our forensics expertise enables us to investigate process failures and industrial incidents and provide litigation support. With our demonstrated track record, we can support your team in understanding the cause and origin of process failures and establish corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

Job Hazard Analysis

Effective facility and process design is the foundation for protecting your staff from possible effects of hazardous materials. We will conduct a Job Hazard Analysis in conformance with NFPA 2113 to help determine the appropriate level of protection in each hazardous area, including the adequacy of personal protective equipment (PPE).

Explosion Protection

Industrial explosions present serious risk to any company that manufactures or handles combustible dusts and vapors. Ignition of a dust or vapor cloud in process equipment can not only destroy the primary vessel, but also spread to interconnected equipment and into the plant, causing secondary explosions with devastating results. We have developed various methods of deflagration protection, in accordance with NFPA 68 and NFPA 69, that can protect facilities against explosions and limit the extent of damage, including rapid explosion suppression, venting and isolation. We can also conduct third-party reviews to ensure compliance.
