InSite supported a European oil refinery with a concept study to evaluate hydrogen export via road and rail using bulk and containerised units.
Context
European oil refinery desired a concept study to evaluate hydrogen export via road and rail using bulk and containerised units.
Challenge
The client sought to understand the feasibility of exporting hydrogen for retail through road and rail infrastructure. The study needed to determine the most efficient method of export using either bulk or containerised (20’ and 40’) units, considering technical, logistical, and regulatory factors.
Solution
InSite provided an experienced process engineer to lead the concept study. Activities included:
- Reviewing offtake locations and system capacity
- Assessing hydrogen compression, storage and filling methods with specialist vendors
- Identifying suitable containers, systems, and logistics for export
- Evaluating safety, cost, schedule, regulatory compliance, and project risks
A comprehensive report was delivered, defining base cases, options, and associated risks to support the client’s feasibility assessment.
Deliverables included
- HAZID study and project risk list
- Class 5 Cost Estimate and Level 1 schedule
- Plot Plan and Civil/Structural scope
- Control and safety systems scope
- Flow Diagram and Operating Philosophy
