Processing facilities require a reliable supply of electrical power. The consequences of a sudden power loss ranges from an inconvenience to a major incident with consequences including damage to equipment, failure of emergency systems, loss of containment, fires, explosions and environmental impact. Damage during restart can also be a major issue.
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.
