Petrochemical Emergency Shutdown & Safety Systems

Specialist Emergency Shutdown Systems support, maintenance, upgrades and retrofit solutions for petrochemical platforms and plants, including legacy and obsolete safety systems.

Overview

Safety-Critical Support for Petrochemical Systems

FirstClass provides specialist support, maintenance, modification and upgrades for Emergency Shutdown (ESD) and safety systems within petrochemical platforms and plants.

Our engineers have decades of experience supporting safety-critical systems, including legacy installations where effective OEM support may no longer be available.

Services include 24-hour technical support, planned maintenance, fault-history monitoring, modifications, spare parts, obsolete equipment repair and replacement, and system upgrades.

Where modernisation is required, FirstClass can develop PLC or hardware-based retrofit solutions while assessing what existing infrastructure can safely and practically be retained.

ESD Systems

Engineering, maintenance, modification and upgrade support for safety-critical Emergency Shutdown Systems.

Legacy System Expertise

Specialist knowledge and support for ageing, obsolete and OEM-unsupported petrochemical safety systems.

24/7 Support & Maintenance

Telephone support, planned maintenance, fault monitoring and engineering assistance for operational facilities.

Upgrades & Retrofits

PLC and hardware-based upgrades designed to modernise safety systems while retaining suitable existing infrastructure.

SIL-Rated Safety Systems

FirstClass has experience designing and delivering SIL-rated petrochemical safety systems using PLC and hardware-based architectures. Project experience includes SIL2 and SIL3 applications, with system architecture and functionality developed around the safety requirements of the individual installation.

Bespoke Safety & Control Engineering

Safety and control requirements within petrochemical environments are highly application-specific. FirstClass develops solutions around the individual process, equipment, operating procedures and required safety functionality rather than requiring operations to adapt to a predetermined system.

Upgrading Existing Systems

Existing safety and control infrastructure can often be modified, extended or integrated as operational requirements change. FirstClass assesses existing equipment and interfaces before developing an appropriate upgrade solution, with suitable infrastructure retained where practical.

Legacy & Obsolescence Expertise

FirstClass has specialist experience supporting ageing safety systems where original equipment has become obsolete or OEM support is limited. This includes fault investigation, repair, spares, modification and engineered retrofit solutions intended to support continued safe operation.
