Finished Flare System Dynamic Modelling - Approaches & Values This webinar from ORS will present the common approaches used to apply dynamic modelling techniques for Flare systems as well as benefits of undertaking such a study. The team will share experience obtained from previous projects undertaken for installations in the UK and Norwegian Continental Shelf. WATCH REPLAY Flare systems for offshore installations and onshore plants are a critical piece of equipment, which provide safe relief of inventory during both routine operations as well as emergency situations. Their design is often complex and comprised of multiple headers and sources from the entire complex, making it difficult to understand and predict their behavior. Dynamic modelling is a technique used to perform time-dependent analysis of a system, which can be applied to flare systems to investigate any potential operating or emergency scenarios and validate more traditional 'steady-state' assumptions. This is equally useful as a verification exercise for existing systems as well as during the design phase for brownfield modifications and can often result in significant CAPEX and OPEX savings on projects.

SERVICES Environmental Risk Assessment (ENVID) What is ENVID? Environmental Impact Identification (ENVID) is a structured examination of environmental aspects for a facility for early identification of environmental concerns that may affect environment. The outcome of an ENVID is used to optimize the design and operational philosophy to minimize environmental impact. An ENVID is typically performed as a multi-discipline workshop. Why perform an ENVID: ENVID study is performed to; Identify acute or continuous sources of emission, discharge and waste for an asset or activity; Identify mitigating measures included in design to minimize environmental impact; Propose further mitigating measures to prevent, reduce or control identified sources of emission, discharge and waste; ENVID Study Methodology The ENVID study is carried out as a multidisciplinary workshop with participants from relevant disciplines and operational personnel. The workshop comprises of discussion of environmental hazards consequences, and typically including a coarse risk assessment for each hazard raised, practice and procedures and barrier elements (the corresponding control and mitigation measures). The ENVID review follows a methodology analogous to a Hazard Identification (HAZID) . The ENVID applies a set of guidewords suitable for identification of hazards and sources of emission, discharge and waste. Some examples of ENVID parameters and guidewords: Contact ORS Consulti ng to identify the potential environmental risks associated with your project.

Finished Essentials for confident and effective HAZOP participation WATCH REPLAY The intention of a HAZOP is to evaluate a design or an activity with the primary objective of identifying potential hazardous events and assessing the safeguards in place to prevent and mitigate these events. The outcome of a HAZOP can prevent accidents from occurring - and a bad HAZOP can fail to identify design flaws and hidden hazards. Its success depends solely on the contributions of the participants involved. Watch the replay of this engaging webinar where two of our HAZOP facilitators, Rikard Davidsen and Morten Nilstad Pettersen, share insights on how to shine as a HAZOP participant and give examples of pitfalls to avoid.

Finished Functional Safety Assessment- Operations: waste of time or value creation? How can your company get a greater value from conducting FSA Stage 4? What should you keep in mind for a smooth execution? What are the pitfalls to avoid? How do you avoid theoretical debates with no value creation? Join the webinar and learn more about our to-the-point approach for FSA Stage 4. WATCH REPLAY Functional Safety Assessments (FSA) typically include an in-depth assessment of all the activities, work processes, and documentation covering the applicable SIS Safety Lifecycles. In addition to extensive documentation review, interviews and site surveys are also usually a part of FSAs. Depending on how it is executed and by whom, FSAs can be a very theoretical, and time-consuming exercise or a value-adding, to-the-point assurance activity. It can cause a significant impact on the asset owner since the asset owner needs to demonstrate evidence that the IEC61508 & IEC 61511 requirements are fulfilled. Over the years, ORS has accumulated significant experience based on the performance of FSAs for early design-, detailed design-, commissioning & construction as well as operational phases of complex- and safety-critical assets. How can your company get a greater value from conducting FSA Stage 4? What should you keep in mind for smooth execution? What are the pitfalls to avoid? How do you avoid theoretical debates with no value creation? Join the webinar and learn more about our to-the-point approach for FSA Stage 4.
