FUNCTIONAL SAFETY FUNCTIONAL SAFETY Functional Safety refers to the part of a system's overall safety that relies on automatic protection mechanisms operating correctly, especially in response to inputs or failures. It focuses on ensuring systems function safely, even in the face of electrical or electronic malfunctions. This includes preventing hazards and reducing risks to protect people, plant, and the environment BACK Process Hazard Analysis Our team have the experience to undertake a Process Hazard Analysis using the Hazard and Operability Study, (HAZOP), methodology. Our team has undertaken HAZOP work in Water and Energy Projects holding the roles of: Chairperson Scribe Operations Specialist Designer. Project Manager. SIL Determination MEICA Consulting Engineers Ltd have the technical expertise to conduct Safety Integrity Levels (SILs) Determination Studies based on Risk Assessment as per the IEC 61508 standard.

The standard works to prevent avoidable mistakes and errors throughout the entire lifecycle. Hazard Identification (HAZID) study MEICA Consulting Engineers Ltd have the technical expertise to conduct Hazard Identification (HAZID) studies. A Hazard Identification (HAZID) study is a risk assessment technique used to systematically identify and evaluate potential hazards associated with a process, system, or operation. It's a multidisciplinary team workshop focused on uncovering possible dangers early in the project lifecycle, before detailed engineering design. The goal is to identify hazards, assess their potential consequences, and recommend preventative measures to minimize risks ATEX / DSEAR Assessments Our experienced team carry out ATEX / DSEAR Assessments for a number of clients across the Water industry in Ireland.

For the Phosphorus Fixation Project on Ringsend Wastewater Treatment plant, ​MEICA Consulting Engineers worked for the 3JV. The 3JV is an engineering consultancy onsortium involving TJ O’Connor & Associates, a Dublin-based firm, JB Barry & Partners, part of Egis Group, a global engineering and operations firm, and Netherlands-based, global consulting and engineering firm Royal Haskoning DHV. P-FIXATION AT RINGSEND WWTP For the Phosphorus Fixation Project on Ringsend Wastewater Treatment plant, MEICA Consulting Engineers worked for the 3JV. The 3JV is an engineering consultancy onsortium involving TJ O’Connor & Associates, a Dublin-based firm, JB Barry & Partners, part of Egis Group, a global engineering and operations firm, and Netherlands-based, global consulting and engineering firm Royal Haskoning DHV. This project forms an integral part of the upgraded facility allowing for the recovery of Phosphorus from wastewater. The process forms pearly coloured granules, which can be used as a slow-release agricultural fertiliser. The Ringsend WwTP Phosphorous Fixation & Recovery Project is the first of its kind in Ireland and is currently the largest in Europe by reactor volume. It involves the use of innovative technology to sustainably remove phosphorous from the wastewater being treated at Ringsend WwTP. The Phosphorus Fixation Facility in Ringsend is an great example of the circular economy in action. At full capacity, the Phosphorous-recovery facility in Ringsend will be capable of producing over 4,000 tonnes of fertiliser product per year, while removing 1.3 tonnes of phosphorous a day from the effluent discharged from Ringsend WWTP. The investment made by Uisce Eireann in this facility was €500m. The process utilises a Phosphate Elimination and Recovery Lightweight (PEARL) reactor. It is designed to to recover phosphorus from pre- and post-digestion liquors, through the controlled precipitation of crystalline struvite. Within the Pearl system reactor, the growth of struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) is facilitated by the addition of magnesium in a controlled pH setting. This allows nutrients to crystallize into eco-friendly fertilizer granules, which are harvested, dried and then distributed and sold. The treated effluent is then discharged from the top of the reactor and returned to the plant with significantly reduced nutrient content.
