April 30, 2012 - Over the coming months, specialist
engineering consultancy RVA Group is supporting a major oil and gas operator
with decommissioning preparations, risk assessments and procedures to ensure
the safe dismantling and decommissioning of a sulphuric acid plant at their
site in Barrow-in-Furness. With
a full-time presence at the site since January following the completion of
feasibility and option studies for the plant last year, RVA's team of
consultants will act in a project management and CDM co-ordinator role until
the plant has been fully cleared.
The plant is part of a COMAH top-tier licensed operational site
handling a large proportion of the UK's gas supply. Extensive preparation is
required to ensure the integrity of the site's ongoing operations is
protected whilst the decommissioning is carried out. RVA is supporting the
procurement of dismantling contractor services and supervision of
decommissioning to ensure the work is carried out with precision and
teamwork. The priority
throughout is to ensure the highest levels of safety on the project. The
plant being decommissioned comprises a reactor, concentration structure,
furnace and precipitator, stack and pipe work. To avoid disruption,
decommissioning will only begin when the new replacement plant has been
fully installed and commissioned. This plant is currently being constructed
reflecting the operator's desire to have the safest, most efficient and
reliable processing plant available.
Commenting on this project, RVA managing director Richard Vann says:
'An increasing number of decommissioning projects are being discussed within
this sector as oil and gas operators seek to develop the quality and
efficiency of their installations and remove more outdated assets that may
be approaching the end of their life. 'RVA's extensive heavy industrial
experience gained from working on complex high-hazard sites means that we
are well placed to ensure the safe, secure and best-value execution of even
the most complicated of oil and gas decommissioning projects.'
September 30, 2010 - Construction jobs in Furness are to be boosted
because part of a £60m gas terminal needs rebuilding. It is thought at
least 50 jobs will be on offer when work begins on demolishing the existing
sulphuric acid plant at the Rivers gas terminal at Rampside and it is
replaced with a new plant. The existing plant is only seven
years old. Work is expected to begin early next year and take five
months. The Rivers gas terminal belongs to oil giant ConocoPhillips
but is run on a day-to-day basis on contract by British firm Centrica.
It was built because the gas piped into it from the Rivers fields in the
Irish Sea has got hydrogen sulphide in it and needs to have the sulphur
extracted as sulphuric acid before the gas can be fed through the Centrica
main terminals and into the national gas grid. Hydrogen sulphide can
be deadly if it escapes and staff at the plant all have breathing masks
strapped to them in case of an emergency, however unlikely. |
