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.

ORS Consulting provides leading third-party integrity management solutions, including barrier strategy development, bow-tie analysis, risk-based maintenance, and Integrated Design Review (IDR). SERVICES Barrier Management Up Anchor 1 Barrier management is a framework for the identification of major accident risks and continuous risk management throughout a complete asset lifecycle. Integrity management ensures that systems, operational procedures, and organizations perform their function effectively and efficiently to avoid incidents and accidents. Integrity management comprises a variety of risk assessments, including barrier management, integrated design reviews, risk-based maintenance, and obsolescence management. ORS Consulting is a leading third-party integrity management solutions provider. We are helping businesses and facilities perform barrier strategy development, bow-tie analysis, risk-based maintenance and Integrated Design Review (IDR), amongst others. Barrier Management Related Studies Barrier Strategy Development Barrier strategy development involves establishing a strategy for how a project or asset operation will manage the accident risk, and to ensure that barriers are designed and maintained to ensure an acceptable risk level. Bow-tie Analysis Bow tie diagrams are powerful tools for managing major accident hazards and communication of key risk drivers. It typically involves creating a bow-tie diagram, which illustrates the chain of causes and consequences related to a hazard, and its barriers and mitigating measures. Performance Standards Performance standards are requirement specifications established for barrier functions or elements, as input for design and operation of a system. Among others, performance standards can give requirements related to reliability, maintenance and operability. Risk-based Maintenance Risk-based maintenance (RBM) is a maintenance strategy that prioritizes risk-sensitive systems and machinery, applicable for all industries. An RBM helps businesses to plan maintenance processes based on the probability of failure, possible effects (consequences), and calculated costs. Barrier Management System Implementation Barrier management system implementation involves establishing and maintaining barriers in a facility so that risks can be managed and operational excellence can be achieved. It involves establishing place technical, operational and organizational barriers against major accidents or incidents, and ensure that the barriers are maintained throughout the asset lifecycle. Optimization of Test Intervals The probability of failure of machinery or safety critical systems largely depends on the frequency of testing or preventive maintenance. Optimization of test intervals involves determining the optimum maintenance or test tasks that ensures high reliability, and at the same time minimizing downtime. Optimization of test intervals is typically performed in conjunction with performance monitoring of Safety Instrumented Systems. Obsolescence Management Obsolescence describes a situation in which a part, equipment, or service is no longer available even when it is still needed. Obsolescence management helps organizations to forecast, monitor, and plan when they are at risk of having obsolete parts, service, or equipment. It helps to reduce the risks associated with obsolescence. Root Cause Analysis Root cause describes a factor that caused a non-conformance in a system, component, or organization. A root cause analysis (RCA) is a problem-solving process that is used to identify these factors and provide approaches to preventing them. It may also provide means of responding to them. Integrated Design Reviews (IDR) Integrated Design Review (IDR) is a method used to scrutinize project interface, and is efficient for projects and assets with multiple stakeholders. This methodology focuses on the functionality of an integrated facility, and it aims to mitigate risks and ensure safe and efficient operations in these facilities. Risk-based Inspection (RBI) Risk-based inspection (RBI) involves quantitative and qualitative assessment of the probability of failure, possible consequences, and costs associated with systems and machinery. The information obtained from this assessment help business to determine design flaws and potential damages, as well as the location of possible dangers resulting from failures.

Technical safety and risk management is the set of activities to identify hazards and assess and manage risks. Technical risk management is a fundamental part of all sectors and industries where incidents and accidents can cause harm to personnel, environment, asset, or reputation. SERVICES Technical Safety and Risk Management Up Anchor 1 Technical risk management is the set of activities to identify hazards and assess and manage risks. Technical risk management is a fundamental part of all sectors and industries where incidents and accidents can cause harm to personnel, environment, asset, or reputation. The main activities within this area are: Technical risk advisory throughout a project or asset operation to ensure that safety design minimizes harm to personnel, environment, and asset, and meets regulatory requirements; Risk-based workshops for identification of hazards in a multi-discipline and collaborative environment; Performing risk analysis to establish risk picture, based on the frequency and consequence assessment, and benchmark with acceptance criteria. Technical Safety and Risk Related Studies Escape, EvaCuation, and Rescue (EER) Escape Evacuation and Rescue (EER) strategy and assessments ensure that a facility is designed and operated away allowing safety for personnel during the evacuation, availability of muster areas, the quick rescue of personnel, and controlled evacuation. Quantitative Risk Assessments (QRA) A QRA is a method to calculate and evaluate the frequency and consequences of the major accident hazards for a facility. The resulting risk picture is benchmarked with acceptance criteria and is efficient for ensuring a safe and robust design, as well as compliance with regulatory requirements. Gas Dispersion, Explosion and Fire Assessment Process plant layout and mechanical design need to be robust to minimize escalation if a loss of containment occurs. ORS has state of the art software solutions and expertise for the assessment of dispersion, explosion, and fire (pool, jet, and spray fires) and the ability to interface this with blowdown and flare assessment to minimize the likelihood of vessel rupture in the event a release occurs elsewhere on the plant Safety Case A safety case is a demonstration of how health and safety hazards are managed for a facility. This requires systematic identification of hazards, evaluation of consequences and implementation of risk reducing measures to meet As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) principles. HAZID/HAZOP Hazard Identification (HAZID) and Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) studies are structured multi-discipline workshops in order to identify hazards for a system design, evaluate the consequences for safety, environment, and asset, and identify measures to reduce the risk. A HAZOP is typically performed for process systems with a potential for loss of containment. Learn more> EHAZOP/CHAZOP Electrical Hazard and Identification (EHAZOP) is similar to HAZOP with regards to identifying hazards and operability issues. However, unlike HAZOP, EHAZOP focuses only on electrical systems. A Control Hazard and Operability Study (CHAZOP) covers programmable control systems (e.g. PLC and SCADA) and IT systems. SAFOP/SIMOPS A Safety and Operability Study (SAFOP) is commonly carried prior to operations to identify hazards, evaluate consequences and define mitigating mesures to avoid accidents and incidents. WHAT-IF WHAT-IF analysis is a structured analytic technique used to determine what systems, activities, operations can go wrong in a facility based on different scenarios. Based on the answers to the what-if questions, a facility can then judge the consequences of the activities that can go wrong. Environmental Risk Assessment (ENVID) An ENVID study helps facilities identify and manage risks related to harm to the environment. It is effective for analyzing waste storage and disposal, emissions, discharge of hazardous substances, as well as the environmental impact of operations. Learn more > Working Environment Health Risk Assessment (WEHRA) A WEHRA study assesses the risks to the health and safety of persons working in a facility based on factors such as noise, vibration, illumination, harsh weather or exposure to chemicals or harmful substances. A WEHRA is efficient to identify measures to achieve an acceptable working environment.

Learn more about the HAZOP study and why to perform it. ORS Consulting has extensive experience with facilitating and recording HAZOP studies. SERVICES Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP) What is a HAZOP Study? Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) is the most widely used Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) technique. It provides a way of systematically identifying causes of deviations from a process design intention, which in turn reveals potential hazardous scenarios and allows understanding of them and how to prevent them from occurring. HAZOP studies are performed as multi-disciplinary brainstorming workshops. Why perform HAZOP Do you need a structured and detailed review of your process design to identify and manage process-related hazards? Then HAZOP is the optimal hazard analysis methodology. HAZOP studies are performed to: Methodically examine processes and operating systems to identify how they might deviate from the design intent; Prevent process-related accidents and incidents by evaluating process design with regards to safety (of people, the environment, or assets) and operability; Identify deviations from related standards and project requirements; Identify requirements for additional risk-reduction HAZOP studies are also great tools for the team to gain a higher understanding of the process and the available process safety documentation. HAZOP Study Methodology HAZOP studies are conducted as structured and multi-disciplinary brainstorming workshops to identify process-related hazards and operability issues, evaluate their consequences, and assess whether adequate safeguards are in place to prevent or control these hazardous scenarios. The HAZOP technique is based on the systematic use of process deviations composed of a combination of guidewords and process parameters. Examples of HAZOP study guidewords, parameters, and the corresponding deviations are shown below: Advantages of a HAZOP Study: The structured nature of the analysis ensures that hazards and operability concerns are identified and recorded in a thorough and systematic way. By applying guidewords meant for brainstorming the methodology allows for a consistent approach and ensures that all relevant aspects are considered and discussed. A well-conducted HAZOP serves as a robust foundation for further analyses and decision-making, including being the foundational block for Functional Safety. ORS Consulting has extensive experience with facilitating and recording HAZOP studies. Our principal consultants have extensive HAZOP experience for a wide variety of industrial applications. ORS combines technical knowledge and process know-how with experience and up-to-date competence related to relevant regulations and best practices (such as IEC 61882).
