The Opportunity:

A major United States Refinery hired Smith & Burgess to perform a site-wide revalidation.

Our Solution:

During the investigation, our engineers found several PSVs were undersized and required immediate mitigation.

The Results:

Although it was out of the original project’s scope, Smith & Burgess immediately proposed and implemented the solution to the undersized PSVs during the initiation revalidation without needing to cut the feed line. The refinery’s projects remained on budget, without interrupting production and ensuring safe operations.

  • Facility Type: Refinery
  • Services Provided: PSV Mitigation

 Safety Knowledge Should be Shared...

“It should not be necessary for each generation to rediscover the principles of process safety which the generation before discovered. We must learn from the experience of others rather than learn the hard way. We must pass on to the next generation a record of what we have learned.” - Jesse C. Ducommun, Safety Pioneer
 
As Process Safety engineers and consultants, we believe our unique position creates a responsibility for Smith & Burgess to share our years of accumulated safety knowledge.
