RAM study can be performed at various stages of the life cycle, typically during Pre-FEED, FEED, Detailed engineering and Process Operation stages.Continue Reading

RAM is an approach for integrating reliability, availability and maintainability, by using methods, tools and engineering techniques (Mean Time to Failure, Equipment down Time and System Availability values) to quantify equipment and system failures that prevent the achievement of the productive objectives in order to identify Production Availability and Production Efficiency. In Oil & Gas...Continue Reading

HAZID aims to identify all Major Accident Hazards (MAH) associated with the facilities and pinpoint suitable mitigative measures to control risks to people, the environment and assets based on the process and layout. HAZOP is undertaken using a systematic and highly structured approach to examine the process and engineering intentions of the design.Continue Reading

It is the responsibility of the HAZOP facilitator to manage the team and the HAZOP study process to ensure that the multi-disciplinary team remain focused and that no nodes or hazards are missed by the team.Continue Reading

(a) HAZOP for Continuous Operations (b) HAZOP for Batch Operations (c) Procedural HAZOP (i.e., Start-Up) (d) Control HAZOP (CHAZOP) (e) Electrical HAZOP (EHAZOP)/ Electrical Systems Safe Operability Review (SAFOP)Continue Reading

HAZOP can be done at any stage of a project as long as sufficient information is available such as piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID). HAZOP can be revisited when there’s a design change impacting the P&IDs.Continue Reading

Typically, the scope of the HAZOP is discussed in the document known as the Terms of Reference. This document will be passed to the attendees, along with marked-up P&IDs which indicate how the process is split up into nodes.Continue Reading

HAZOP study is done to identify design or operational faults etc. leading to safety or operability problems.Continue Reading

HAZOP is a brainstorming session – carried out in workshop format – with objectives to identify any design or operability issue within the facility that might lead to safety or operation problems. HAZOP session should consist of a team with a multidisciplinary background, guided by a Facilitator. To help the brainstorming done systematically list of...Continue Reading
