Kenexis, a process safety consulting engineering firm that provides technical safety services, performance-based fire and gas mapping, and risk analysis for industries that manage risks related to chemicals or stored energy. Green means safe too, right? Storage of large amounts of energy, regardless of whether it is in the form of hydrocarbons, lithium-ion batteries, compressed hydrogen, or anhydrous ammonia, can result in the unintentional release of that energy in ways that can harm people and damage the environment.
Mixing hydrogen into the natural gas stream will effect area classification, gas detector coverage and technology, burner curves and much more. Processing, transporting and storing of large amounts of energy in the form of hydrocarbons, can result in the unintentional release of that energy in ways that can harm people and damage the environment.
Our expertise, and pioneering research and development in technical safety engineering, has driven our trusted resource reputation throughout the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries.

We work with you throughout the lifecycle to perform independent engineering consultation and to track recommendations and implementation.
Our Fire and Gas Mapping (FGM) team performs similar tasks for the hazards associated with the loss-of-containment that could result in a fire, flammable gas, or toxic gas hazard following the guidelines laid out in ISA-TR84.00.07 Guidance on the Evaluation of Fire, Combustible Gas, and Toxic Gas System Effectiveness.
Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)- including SIL Verification, Safety Requirements Specifications (SRS), Test Plan Development and Optimization, Validation, Verification, Functional Safety Assessment, and Site Acceptance Testing/Validation - primarily using our Vertigo SIS Lifecycle Management Software, and Open PHA HAZOP/LOPA Documentation Software.

SIL Verification includes determination of probability of failure on demand, spurious trip rates, and other performance metrics.
SIL Verification considers the type of equipment employed, advanced voting arrangements, diagnostics, and testing frequency.
Once SIL Selection (performance target) is completed (usually using LOPA), achievement of the SIL Selection is verified using SIL Verification.
SIL Verification can be calculated easily with our database in Vertigo SIS Safety Lifecycle software.

Experienced in chemical process, control systems, and the standards, our members can facilitate HAZOP, LOPA, HAZID, Security PHA Reviews, and other studies including documentation.
Process Hazards Analysis (PHA) - including a full range of facilitated/workshop studies like HAZOP, LOPA, HAZID, and a full-range of auditing.
PHA studies are easily documented and audited in Open PHA HAZOP/LOPA Documentation Software, and Open Audit Documentation Software.
Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) studies provide recommendations based on causes and consequences that require further attention.

Our engineers use this rigorous methodology to evaluate the possible consequence and likelihood associated with engineering or technical scenarios.
Consequence is typically expressed as the number of fatalities or failures and likelihood of occurrence is typically expressed in frequency as the number of times a year.
Event tree analysis and fault tree analysis are typical.
Sometimes as subset of a QRA is required so we perform a Focused Quantitative Risk Analysis (fQRA) analysis and calculations to assist in the determination of the tolerability of risk associated with scenarios and the generation of recommendations to assist in the achievement of tolerable risk levels.
