Scope Of Services
FEA is used to identify and evaluate the risk of fire hazards (such as jet fire, pool fire, flash fire, etc) and its impact (such as heat radiation and overpressure, etc) to the surrounding area by establishing fire scenarios. Credible fire scenarios are identified from outcomes from other risk assessment studies such as Hazard Identification (HAZID).
By assessing the outcome of each fire scenario and its impact, the risk of catastrophic failure of equipment and building in the facility can be determined and mitigation measures or improvements on the following systems can be considered:
·Flare emission monitoring system;
·Pressure relief system;
·Ambient air monitoring system;
·Evacuation shelters in and outside the plant.
Crude oil, natural gas, LNG, gas processing and export, oil refining, pharmaceutical plant, coal chemical processing, fertilizer and agriculture chemical processing, chemical refining, etc.
FEA is typically performed in FEED and detailed engineering to ensure required safeguards such as blast protection, fire protection, etc, are sufficient to withstand predicted fire scenario effects for the required criteria (i.e, duration, overpressure value, etc).
·FEA can be further divided into specific study application such as:
·Fire Hazard Analysis (FHA) which focuses on identifying and assessing fire hazards.
·Hazard Analysis of Building Explosion (HABE) which looks at identifying fire scenarios that can adversely damage buildings.
·Gas dispersion analysis which looks at the dispersion of unignited hydrocarbon gas and/or toxic gas and its effects.
·PSV relief assessment focuses on the establishing the relief volume and duration in overpressure scenarios and assessing the suitable and/or requirements of the PSV.
