Petrochemical

PROJECT DESCRIPTION 

Petro-Canada mandated BBA to perform a complete arc flash analysis for its Montréal-East refinery. The main objective of this study was to determine, at different locations, the flash protection boundary within which the worker must wear an appropriate PPE. According to a specific working distance, the category of required PPE was also determined. Prior to the arc flash analysis itself, a short-circuit study and a protective device coordination study were carried out. 

The scope of work for this project consisted of the following:

• On-site data collection
• Plant network short-circuit study
• Protective device coordination study
• Arc flash analysis
