Abstract
An increasing number of facilities across
the globe are reaching a significant age of maturity. Those facilities were constructed
under different regulations and guidelines than those used today. Renovations,
upgrades and retrofits are abundant in the oil, gas, and petrochemical
facilities and these new constructions must follow the current regulations. The
new guidelines will enhance the facility to become more sustainable and
inherently safer based on newer design and construction practices. This paper discusses
the coming challenges to facilities and the need to incorporate inherently
safer designs in the upgrades, modifications to the facilities.
