Safety Services
Proactive and responsive approaches to relief system adequacy and design
Ingenero's process safety division specializes in relief device documentation and compliance with regulation and standards. We also have decades of expertise in overpressure analysis, safety consulting and training, and risk management services. With comprehensive expertise In pressure relief devices and systems, we provide a variety of services to support your facility's needs.
Relief System Engineering:
Ingenero's expertise in these critical areas ensures effective risk mitigation, asset protection, and environmental safety in complex industrial operations.
Relief systems often face multiple issues in operations. Some common deficiencies in relief devices include:
- Inlet and outlet piping pressure loss
- Insufficient relief area
- Inappropriate set pressure
- Lack of relief protection
- Relief temperature concerns
Ingenero offers comprehensive relief system engineering solutions.
- Design and analysis of Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs) to prevent overpressure incidents.
- Flare studies for the safe disposal of excess process fluids during emergencies.
- Dispersion analysis to assess the potential impact of hazardous releases.
Safety Studies
Ingenero has decades of experience helping you ensure that your operations are the safest that they can be. We have carried out hundreds of studies in the following categories:
HAZOP
(Hazard and Operability Study)
A systematic review process to identify potential hazards and operational issues in a process or system.
HAZID
(Hazard Identification)
An initial assessment to identify potential hazards and risks in a project or process.
QRA
(Quantitative Risk Assessment)
A detailed analysis that quantifies risks and their probabilities, often used to prioritize safety measures.
SIL
(Safety Integrity Level)
A measure of safety system effectiveness to prevent or mitigate hazardous events.
LOPA
(Layer of Protection Analysis)
A method to assess the effectiveness of layers of protection and determine if they meet safety requirements.
