Process safety - step 1

Process risk assessment begins with hazard identification.

We will select the identification method following a detailed analysis of factors such as the size and complexity of the facility, availability of historical data as well as the stage of the product or equipment service life (designing, operation, upgrades).

We will estimate the probability of a hazardous incident along with its possible consequences. For this we will use qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantitative techniques. We will choose the right methodology in consideration of the following: the available quantitative parameters, process complexity and specifics of the control and instrumentation.

We will pay special attention to the Safety Instrumented System (SIS). It is a crucial component of the facility control system as it performs the safety functions. Integral to the risk estimation process by ELOKON is definition of the required Safety Integrity Level (SIL).

We use the following methods: PHA, HAZOP, FMEA, ETA, FTA, LOPA.

Identify the hazards on time - order a specialist process risk assessment.

Process safety - step 2

The next step following the process risk assessment is risk reduction.

The first stage where you can considerably reduce risk is the process design stage. We will help you to ensure the important safety components:

• choice of the right substances and materials,
• definition of the process parameter values,
• developing the system design in line with best engineering practice.

Process safety at the design stage will enable risk reduction and avoid costs resulting from the later implementation of improvements.

If risk reduction at the design stage is unfeasible or uneconomic, the Layer of Protection Analysis will enable the selection and implementation of improvements. These prevent and limit any possible consequences of hazardous incidents.

We will calculate the properties of mechanical safety equipment based on expected critical values of the process physical parameters.

We will take care of the Safety Instrumented Systems (controlling, preventing and limiting systems) and of the correct marking of access to hazardous zones.

The right choice of components and interfacing field equipment will ensure a high safety integrity level.

Risk reduction is possible at each stage - learn how to prevent losses.

Process safety - step 3

Machinery and equipment automation requires special care and control.

This is applicable to each stage of the process facility service life. Functional safety covers analyses and measures intended to eliminate hazards at each of the following stages: design; building; operation; routine maintenance; repairs; upgrades; shutdowns and decommissioning.

The experts from ELOKON will verify the reliability of the systems used in your company and will advise you on the solutions for safety improvement. They will also make the necessary improvements to enable loss prevention.

• Control system reliability analysis.
• Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) - design, implementation and periodic control tests.
• Safety Integrity Level (SIL) - verification of SIL levels and support in equipment certification.

Make sure your control system ensures the right level of reliability
