ACS Engineering understands the requirements applicable to refineries and we can help you effectively identify current and proposed rules that impact your operations.
Why Choose Us?
Increasingly stringent environmental and safety regulations have forced the petroleum refining industry to make substantial investments in upgrading refinery processes to reduce emissions and alter product compositions. For example, the capital costs to comply with the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments alone have totaled in the tens of billions. In many cases it has been more economical for refineries to close down partially or entirely rather than upgrade facilities to meet the ever-increasing standards. All indications are that the regulations applicable to refineries are going to intensify and operators must plan ahead and properly implement these changes effectively if they are going to remain economically viable.
Our online environmental compliance system combined with our patent pending regulation management process ensures all of your requirements are identified and that those requirements and the associated tasks are kept up to date as rules change or are added. ACS personnel will work with the plant personnel to ensure their understanding and implementation of the associated requirements is proper and ongoing.
Case Study > Fast Implementation
The compliance manager at a refinery in Louisiana wanted to enhance her compliance assurance program and ensure that she was in a stronger position to answer regulators’ questions during inspections. After conducting research into available options, she selected ACS’ online compliance system because it met all of her requirements and the total cost of the implemented system fit comfortably into her budget. In spite of there being no formal compliance process in place and very little detail related to the applicable requirements, ACS implemented the complete compliance system to identify all of her applicable air, water, waste and permit requirements along with the associated tasks in 3 months and under budget.
