Conveying fluids using pipes, pumps and valves is often routine and we don't often place any effort into the design and optimisation. I have seen the following that makes me cringe.- Pipes design for flow for the top 5% of operation;- No catering for thermal expansion;- Control valves at full line size that are always nearly closed;- Material that just don't last the distance.Using software and experience pipework can deliver the solution you need. I have been involved in:- Continuous fluid flow operations;- Batch transfer;- Large turndown operations.

Risk assessments are often feared even though they are being conducted all the time. For example people generally don't stand in the middle of traffic dodging cars, or put the rat poison in the same container as salt, or store petrol in the fridge next to their lemonade. Companies are already managing risks, they just struggle to demonstrate it. Working with difference companies I have conducted- Preliminary Hazard Analysis;- Compliance Audit;- Fire Safety Studies;- HIPAP No.5 Audits- Transport Route Selection.
