Scope Of Services
The purpose of the Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP) is to identify the hazards in the process or operation as a result of process deviations.
As a systematic and structured hazard identification tool, HAZOP is widely utilized in identification of hazards in design and operational phases of project life.
HAZOP is conducted in a workshop environment with a team of technical personnel of diverse disciplines. The system under analysis is divided into several nodes ensure review is systematic with no equipment overlooked.
Within each node, parameters and guidewords are used to construct process deviations which in turn are used to identify potential hazards, assess their risks and brainstorm for mitigate measures (when required).
Crude oil, natural gas, LNG, gas processing and export, oil refining, coal chemical processing, fertilizer and agriculture chemical processing, chemical refining, berth loading and unloading, hazardous material storage, nuclear, power plant, mining etc.
HAZOP can be applied through the entire project lifecycle from conceptual design to operation and decommissioning. During operational phase, HAZOP should be undertaken once every 3-5 years and part of any major design changes to the facility to ensure minor and major changes that occur during operational lifecycle are captured and risks are assessed appropriately.
However, HAZOP is most efficient when applied during design phase where changes made are most effective and cost of change is the lowest.
