VISICS Boosts Safety and Efficiency at Eneco Delfzijl, Maintenance Shutdown

VISICS on site

Eneco Bio Golden Raand – The Eneco Bio Golden Raand (BGR) biomass power plant in Delfzijl, the Netherlands, sustainably converts approximately 300,000 tonnes of waste wood chips into green electricity and steam every year. The waste wood used for this purpose arrives in Delfzijl by ship and truck and comes mainly from the Netherlands. In 2015, the Eneco BGR plant was the first in the world to obtain the Better Biomass certificate based on the NTA8080 standard for producing, trading or processing biomass in a sustainable way.

The Top Hazards During a Turnaround and How to Increase Safety

  1. Confined Spaces: The Silent Danger

Confined spaces, such as tanks, vessels, and storage bins, pose a significant risk during turnarounds. Limited entry and exit points, coupled with potentially hazardous atmospheres, make confined spaces a silent danger.

To mitigate this hazard, the adoption of digital confined space monitoring solutions is crucial. Real-time camera monitoring, remote gas detection, two-way communication systems, and access control units streamline safety protocols, providing continuous insights and early hazard detection.
