Case Study: Flare Bid Review Saves Refinery up to $10 Million

How can an independent review of a flare vendor bid package reduce capital cost while meeting the project’s design objectives?

In this case study, learn how Smith & Burgess verified the proposed design conditions and cross-checked the vendor’s calculations and assumptions. Our review eliminated a proposed secondary utility flare system from the project scope, saving the refinery up to $10 million.

Process changes can increase risk or introduce hazards when their impact on process safety is not fully evaluated.

Smith & Burgess works across operations, maintenance, inspection and process safety to establish ownership, resolve required actions and confirm readiness before a change is implemented. From developing a new MOC program to strengthening an existing one, we help owner-operators establish a practical approach aligned with facility operations.

Process safety decisions begin with a clear understanding of how a facility is designed to operate and how it may respond under abnormal conditions.

Smith & Burgess supports relief, flare and process safety work from evaluation through implementation. By connecting analysis with practical engineering decisions, our teams help clients identify requirements and develop solutions suited to the facility, operating conditions and project scope.

A tube rupture in a high-pressure exchanger can overpressure equipment elsewhere in the cooling water system.

In the system modeled for this paper, pressure in the cooling water piping near the ruptured exchanger exceeded 500 psig within the first 100 milliseconds. Lower-pressure exchangers connected to the same supply and return headers were also exposed to elevated pressures, despite the ruptured exchanger having identical design pressures on both sides.

The analysis shows why the entire cooling water network must be evaluated dynamically rather than limiting the tube-rupture review to a single exchanger.

Process safety requirements in manufacturing vary considerably between continuous and batch operations.

A batch process presents this distinct overpressure scenarios during charging, heating, reaction, transfer, and cleaning. Continuous operations raise different questions around sustained relief loads, system interactions, and changes in production rate.

Smith & Burgess accounts for these operating differences when conducting relief-system analyses, PHAs, facility siting studies, and engineering design reviews.
