Fire and Explosion Risk Assessment (FERA)
Fire and Explosion Risk Assessment (FERA)
The primary objective of FERA analysis is to identify credible fire scenarios that could result in a major process loss of containment. This identification process is key to developing comprehensive mitigation measures and ensuring safety and continuity of operations.
Additionally, the analysis determines the impact on personnel and Main Safety Functions. By assessing the impact on these critical areas, we can develop targeted mitigation measures that address the specific needs of the systems in question.
