2018 - DRPIC, Duqm Refinery Project, Oman
Summary
The Duqm Refinery is a major greenfield development aimed at producing a range of refined products for global markets. The refinery required a structured approach to ensure system reliability, availability, and maintainability.
Challanges
The scale and complexity of the project introduced significant challenges in managing multiple processing units, optimizing maintenance strategies, and ensuring compliance with international safety and reliability standards.
Solution
Developed an integrated RAM model to evaluate and optimize refinery-wide system performance.
Facilitated reliability and availability studies to identify and mitigate potential production bottlenecks.
Conducted LOPA and SIL workshops to ensure compliance with IEC 61511 functional safety requirements.
Provided a structured failure analysis framework using RBDs and Monte Carlo simulations to assess redundancy and system resilience.
