The design and construction of a new building is often a significant investment for capital projects. As a result, there are typically many competing design considerations, such as: land use, interconnectivity, access for operations personnel, building codes, personnel safety, cost, etc. To minimize the number of costly design iterations, it is vital that overall project goals for the building be firmly established, communicated, and implemented effectively. Unfortunately, many projects suffer from a misstep in one or more of these areas.
As the biofuels industry continues to expand in support of global decarbonization mandates and objectives, facility owners and developers are being challenged to balance production efficiency, operational reliability, and personnel safety.
As high hazard facilities, biofuels sites should focus on developing a fire protections strategy informed by performance-based analysis so strategies implemented meet the unique challenges found at each facility.
