SUMMARY:WBA Training | HAZOP & Plant Optimisation with Flávio Ascenco & Andrew Brown | Tuesday 27 January 2026 | 12:00-16:00
DESCRIPTION:HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study) implementation on the Biogas and AD sector.   \nThis course covers the benefits of investing the time and resources to do HAZOP on each site\, and the technicalities\, process requirements and procedures for HAZOP.  \nPurpose  \nA Hazard and Operability Study is a process analysis method for identifying and mitigating hazards\, as well as opportunities for efficiency in complex processes. It provides employers\, safety professionals\, operators and engineers with vital information to help them mitigate potential risks or implement response plans in the event of a foreseeable malfunction.  \nThe course will identify the clear benefits of a HAZOP study implemented at design stage and will provide delegates with valuable knowledge and sufficient tools to identify the needs of and HAZOP study for managing risk and ensuring the safe and efficient operations of biogas plants.  \nProgramme  \n  \n\nDefiningHAZOP: HAZOP is a structured\, team-based method that examines a process step-by-step to identify potential causes and effects of deviations from the intended design.   \n\n\n How HAZOPStudyWill Benefit Your Organisation: \n\n\nWe will address process hazards in daily operations \n\n\nExplain how you can improve safety in the workplace \n\n\nAddress human conditions and factors  \n\n\nAddress the consequences of failed control measures \n\n\nImprove communication between all stakeholders involved in the project \n\n\nEnsure risks are identified and mitigated\, with control measures documented for good housekeeping \n\n\nIdentify areas of inefficiencies to improve daily operations \n\n\n Showcase with Benefits of Implementation\n\nHAZOP in Biogas Plants and Specific Risk in Biogas: Biogas plants present unique hazards because they combine three very different types of  activities — agricultural and bulk material handling\, biological liquid processing\, and explosive  gas management. In engineering processing industries\, it is unusual for all three of these  phases to occur in small spaces together\, especially in rural or non-industrial settings\, creating  risks at every stage of the process. Typically\, of concern is flammable biogas (primarily  methane)\, potential for explosions and fires\, and the presence of toxic gases such as hydrogen  sulfide (H2S). \n\n\nFocus Areas:  \nHAZOP studies in biogas plants often focus on:  \n\nAnaerobic Digester: Pressure management\, temperature control\, mixing\, feedstock input\, and gas collection\nBiogas Storage: Tank integrity\, pressure relief systems\, and potential for leaks\nGas Treatment and Upgrading: Removal of H2S and other contaminants\, compression\, and storage\nCogeneration and Utilization: Safe operation of engines\, turbines\, or other equipment using biogas\n\n\n\nKey Benefits of HAZOP in Biogas Plants\n\nEarly Hazard Identification:  \nIdentifies potential hazards early in the design process\, reducing the need for costly retrofits later.   \nImproved Safety:  \nLeads to safer operating procedures\, better equipment design\, and reduced risk of accidents.   \nEnhanced Reliability:  \nBy identifying and addressing potential operability problems in advance\, HAZOP can improve the overall reliability and efficiency of the plant.   \nCompliance with Regulations:  \nPotential to support local compliance with requirements for hazard identification and risk mitigation\, helping to demonstrate that due diligence and risk assessment studies have been completed by a range of experts working together.  \nCost Savings:  \nBy preventing accidents and optimizing operations\, HAZOP can lead to long-term cost savings.  \n\nHAZOP vs HAZID\n\n\nQuestions

SUMMARY:WBA Training | Technical Aspects for Implementing a Successful Biogas Project with Mario A. Rosato | Tuesday 16 December 2025 | 13:00-17:00
DESCRIPTION:There are five different families of digesters\, but over 90% of biogas plants in Europe belong to just one of them. In most cases\, plants are engineered and optimised according to the constructor’s criteria\, or its proprietary technology or patents\, or the agreement it has with the suppliers of components. Such a definition of “optimum” does not mean that the final outcome is optimum for the specific context of the customer. Solutions that are “the market standard” in one country are not necessarily suitable elsewhere. Knowing to evaluate how to choose the most suitable solution for a given context is then crucial to get the highest return from the investment. \nLearn about the basics of anaerobic digestion technology and how to manage the digestion process and biogas purification in this training course. \n\n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda \nPart 1: Basics of Anaerobic Digestion Biology \n1.1 Understanding AD and its technical jargon: HRT\, CRT\, COD\, TS\, VS\, TOL\, OLR\, etc. \n1.2 Types of digesters\, advantages and disadvantages of each one\, depending on the substrate \n1.3 The optimum diet for the digester: measurement of the BMP (biochemical methane potential) of the feedstock BEFORE the construction \n1.4 Common mistakes in biogas plant design \nPart 2: Managing the Digestion Process and Biogas Purification \n2.1 The biological stability of the digester \n2.2 Frequent problems of the biologic process and how to prevent them \n2.3 Desulfurisation technologies: a short review of the pros and cons of each solution \n2.4 Upgrading technologies : a short review \n
