Process Safety Engineering for Hydrogen Applications

PROREC GmbH

  • Our safety engineers are experienced professionals with a proven track record of delivering tailor-made safety solutions for complex hydrogen applications with our process safety engineering services.
  • Scope of services: Leading hazard and HAZOP studies, safety assessments (EN12100, IEC 61511), area classification and explosion protection, relief stream design, relief device sizing (EN4126, API520), relief stream verification, pressure drop calculations in pipe networks, heat transfer calculations.

Process safety engineering services

  • Process safety is a key factor in the process and high hazard indus­tries. Based on a com­pre­­hen­sive and inde­pendent view we offer safety assess­ments and develop a basis of safety for your R&D and pilot units. We can provide semi-quantitative risk assess­ments & Hazard Studies, making sure that residual risk is accep­tably managed.
  • Process and equipment safety and design of protec­tive systems and relief streams are firmly in our focus and inte­grated into the plant design from the very beginning onwards. Make use of our expe­rience and depth of know­ledge in the deve­lopment of R&D mini­plants and rigs either as a stand-alone engi­nee­ring service (deli­very of a design package) or as an integral part of an equip­ment/plant manu­fac­turing project together with our manu­fac­turing coo­pera­tion partners.
  • Our process safety services can be applied to new units, review exis­ting units and modifi­cations/revamps of existing equipment. We advise on the choice, concept & detailed design of safety systems, including func­tional safety systems (SIL classi­fi­cation) and relief stream design. We can also support our clients with our exper­tise in the develop­ment & review of explosion safety assess­ments and area classi­fi­cations.
