2004 - ORPIC & CBI, LPIC EPC-3 NGLE Extraction Unit with Off-site Works & Utilities Complex, Oman
Summary
This project involved the development of a Natural Gas Liquids Extraction (NGLE) unit to support Oman’s petrochemical sector by providing high-purity feedstock. The facility included advanced separation, treatment, and utility systems to ensure continuous and efficient operation.
Challanges
The complexity of integrating NGLE extraction processes with existing infrastructure posed a significant challenge. Achieving high reliability while minimizing production losses required a robust availability and maintainability strategy. Additionally, meeting stringent safety and environmental regulations added another layer of complexity.
Solution
Developed reliability models using Reliability Block Diagrams (RBDs) to evaluate system performance under different operational scenarios.
Conducted RAM analysis to optimize plant availability, identifying equipment with high failure risks.
Facilitated FMECA workshops with engineering teams to prioritize maintenance and improve system resilience.
Ensured compliance with international reliability standards such as ISO 14224 and IEC 61508 for process safety and operational reliability.
