Abstract
PT X is an oil and natural gas company. One necessary production process is contaminant separation. The separation is done through a sweetening process using an amine contactor unit. The process involves hydrocarbon gases, H2S, and CO2. This process could potentially fail. Thus, it should be managed because chemical materials can harm occupational health, safety, and the environment. FMEA is a method to assess the risk of failures. Risk assessment begins by identifying potential hazards, then analyzing them based on hazard probability levels, risk severity levels, and the effectiveness of control measures, called detection. The assessment of the three main components in the amine contactor unit (pipes, valves, instruments) found potential failures: leaks, corrosion, and faulty pressure differential instruments. The highest risk priority number (RPN) from each component was in the gas inlet pipe, gas inlet valve, and instrument level control valve.
