Case Study: a refinery operator improves overfill safety with Audubon’s mitigation program

a refinery operator reduces overfill risk with Audubon’s SIL-rated mitigation program

A refinery operator in Louisiana faced a significant safety challenge: the risk of a column overfill and a potential vapor cloud explosion at its facility. To mitigate this hazard, the operator contracted Audubon for a comprehensive overfill mitigation program.

Audubon implemented a solution that included new operational protocols, reconfigured piping, and additional safety instrumented systems and process controls. The program, designed using front-end engineering and virtual reality constructability modeling, successfully allowed the refinery operator to mitigate the risks of product overfill. As a result, Audubon helped significantly improve the human and environmental safety of the site.
