Helping you reduce occupational and operational risks

Our expertise in chemical and environmental engineering, process safety, hazard assessment, energy performance and sustainability will add value to your project whether it is an existing or new concept.

We can redesign existing processes to achieve new performance targets and assist with equipment specification, control functionality and instrumentation selection. Underpinning this is our knowledge and experience in reducing processing and energy demands, optimising production processes, resource efficiency/productivity and waste generation. We also have specialists in resource efficiency/management, hazardous chemicals (dangerous goods) auditing, hazardous area classification and process safety studies.

Process safety is a disciplined framework for managing the integrity of operating systems and processes that handle hazardous chemicals and dangerous goods. It relies on good design principles, engineering, and operating and maintenance practices. Advitech’s process safety specialists are experienced in designing systems to manage process safety – helping to reduce the potential for major disasters such as the catastrophic releases of toxic, reactive, flammable, or explosive chemicals.

Experience:
  • Assessment/audit of major Australian food manufacturer for compliance to explosive dusts and explosion venting.
  • Process safety and compliance assessment audits covering pressure vessels, explosive atmospheres and hazardous substances at 22 separate Sydney Water facilities.
  • Expert process engineering advice to Tomago Aluminium concerning Bake Oven explosive risk and start-up.

Our team is also highly experienced in Hazardous Area Classification (HAC). Visit our HAC page for more information.
