Case Study
Reliability Analysis of a Power System using Fault Trees
Client: AkzoNobel AkzoNobel had designed and built a chlorine production facility in Germany and wished to be assured that, in the event of an incident on site leading to a possible release, the facility would be able to safely and reliably dispose of all chlorine that had already been produced. In 2012 Egerton Consulting was invited to carry out a reliability analysis of the electrical power system that was proposed at that time. However, the design was subsequently revised and our client asked us to update their analysis of the power system and also to assess the reliability of three other functions, all of which were important in terms of demonstrating the value of the protection systems that had been developed. We worked closely with our client to understand the systems being analysed,
