Warwick International Ltd, is the worlds leading producer of Tetra Acetyl Ethylene Diamine (TAED) which is a low temperature bleach activator and their state of the art manufacturing site is based at Mostyn in North Wales.
ABB Engineering Services are now working with Warwick to further enhance their process safety performance.
A comprehensive programme of Process Hazard Reviews (PHR) have been carried out and the resulting actions are being implemented. One of the significant benefits achieved by this team based approach is a clearer understanding of the key areas upon which the process safety improvement projects should focus.
This improved focus means that the proposed projects have been constantly reviewed resulting in a project definition and scope that are fully aligned to the business safety risks and objectives. Additionally, significant payback has been achieved by modifying
the scope and implementation phases to reduce the impact on production by keeping the plants on-line for longer.
ABB are also providing specialist functional engineering, including finite element analysis and materials engineering for process equipment used during one of Warwick’s complex reaction processes. Integrity management, compliance with legislation and efficient inspection services are also key areas that contribute to Warwick International’s continued success with ABB also providing help in these areas.
“ABB Engineering Services have demonstrated that they are able to provide a high level of specialist support in a variety of disciplines in a pragmatic, timely and cost effective way. This has led to a significant reduction in capital expenditure and maintenance
inspections whilst maintaining process safety at high levels.” - Jon Cooil, Chief Engineer, Warwick International Ltd.
