Westenergy refines waste into district heat, electricity and recovered materials.
Westenergy’s carbon capture project has achieved another important milestone. Together with Ramboll, Andritz AG, that is responsible for Front-End-Engineering-Design (FEED) prior the final investment decision and their subcontractor Air Liquide, the project team organised a joint HAZOP workshop at the Andritz premises in Graz, Austria. The Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) is a crucial step in the design process, systematically identifying potential risks and improving plant safety and operability.
The week’s intensive workshop offered more than just a risk assessment. The workshop provided valuable insights for both the capture and liquefaction plant designs.
” I think the best thing about the workshop was getting to know the people behind the companies. The collaboration is intensified when we get to the same table face-to-face to discuss. Through it, good results were achieved, and this will certainly enable even better cooperation in the future,” Westenergy Technical Manager Kai Alavillamo compiled some of the best aspects of the workshop.
Carbon capture sector is developing fast, and for more participants this is the first carbon capture project. Therefore, the HAZOP workshop was a big contribution from each participant, and we would like to thank all the participants for their expertise and cooperation.
The next step in the project is to complete the FEED phase for the process side and review its final documentation. Based on this, the project will receive a final design report. Thorough conduction of the FEED helps with the implementation of the investment decision.
