Welcome to ADEPP Academy

ADEPP Academy provides a variety of technical solutions designed to help the hazardous
projects to achieve maximum value. We are a global company with office locations in the
United Kingdom and France.

ADEPP Academy has extensive experience in process safety engineering, Hea
lth, Safety and
Environmental (HSE) management system throughout a broad spectrum of industries such as
Oil & Gas onshore and offshore, Refineries, Petrochemical, Power Stations, Heavy Industries,
Marine Terminals, Petroleum Tank farms, Dangerous product depots, Space industries, Steel
Making industries, Railway companies, Food industries, Government & Municipality, law firms,
Insurance companies and other consulting organisations.

Our mission is to become the leading international provider of senior process safety
professionals, internet-based monitoring, training and expert support on risk management in
health, safety, environmental and quality issues to process industries world-wide, through the
ADEPP monitor owned by ADEPP Academy in UK.


What is ADEPP?

The core product of ADEPP Academy is a unique, sophisticated suite of risk-management
software known as ADEPP ™ (acronym for Analysis and Dynamic Evaluation of Project
Processes).  This operates online and in a Windows ™ environment.  It identifies and analyses
the state of any process function, applying static and dynamic simulations, and elucidates the
risk envelope for a particular function or the whole process.  Users interact with the software
to investigate various risk mitigation scenarios, comparing feasible outcomes against criteria
such as cost and regulatory compliance, and are guided towards optimised solutions. ADEPP
can be used in both stand-alone mode or integrated with customers' other programs.  It can
import their data and feed back results from its simulations.  This gives the user a
comprehensive and comprehensible understanding of highly complex industrial situations.  It
enables intelligence-based decisions about optimal levels of risk, cost and monetary benefit.
Customers may increase and sustain their profitability by applying ADEPP to manage their
assets in many ways.  For example:




















Several products are derived from ADEPP to suit particular needs. Products that address
specific technical applications are currently: ADEPP HSE Case, ADEPP Maintenance Manuals,
ADEPP Process Data Audit, and a series of online ADEPP monitors for HAZOP, HAZID, SIL,
HSEMS, BOW-TIE, Performance Standards and other project HSE studies.  


Why ADEPP monitor?

Risk analysis and mitigation is an essential duty in directing a profitable, sustainable business.  
Company directors and managers in process industries have legal, fiduciary and moral
responsibilities to reduce the risks of accident, human error, fatality and environmental
pollution in the design and operation of their industrial plants. Therefore directors need to be
sure of the competence of technologists and operators, especially in the critical areas of
health, safety, quality and environment (HSEQ).

Process industries include power generation; manufacture of pharmaceutics, food products,
and petrochemicals; petroleum extraction, oil and gas refining. The complexity of their
processes demands that technical staff be competent and highly trained.  Many regulatory and
insurance-indemnity pressures insist that the training is formal and certified to (inter)national
standards. However, removal of key staff from plant operation is disruptive and expensive;
many skills are best improved in a hands-on context; and sending expert trainers to scattered
sites is expensive and often impractical. Ideally, training should be delivered on-site,
customised to the particular plant and the varied needs of staff.  It should be available in short
modules at convenient times, and progressively accumulate to satisfy recognised standards of
competence.  Traditional solutions to these needs are unsatisfactory because they entail too
much compromise.

ADEPP monitor enables directors, operations managers and technologists to fulfil their HSEQ
responsibilities in a highly cost-effective and convenient way, without compromise.  ADEPP
monitor uses the Internet, company intranets to deliver instruction and enable new skills to be
practised in a local, safe environment. Training and learning is integrated with maintenance
and design, to progressively achieve excellence in all aspects of risk management.  
A growing number of companies use Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) to improve the mechanical
integrity of their plants. This methodology systematically prioritises risk levels in pressure
equipment, so that leak detection and repair can focus on higher-risk equipment.  

ADEPP monitor integrates data from diverse origins, and extends the RBI approach, by
simulating risks and forecasting outcomes based on more than the simple history of a
particular plant.  Hence maintenance decisions can be made in a more intelligent way, and
costs reduced.  For a contractor, ADEPP monitor provides a sophisticated platform for planning,
and winning profit from, planned maintenance.  
The electronic archiving capabilities of ADEPP monitor can prepare a comprehensive record of
input forces and resources, processing responses, and all kinds of outputs. ADEPP dynamic
simulation can analyse this accumulated data, then identify, characterise and cure previously
"unknown" causes of large losses. The ADEPP Process Data Audit is analogous to the
examination of an aircraft's flight recorder ("black box") by accident investigators.  

When a process plant is being designed, risk assessments should be an integral part of the
design process.  But in practice, many design engineers perform risk assessments as an
afterthought - a formality required by regulations. Many process-engineering customers
complain that assessments of risks and certification of quality and safety levels are done too
late - when a plant's design is almost completed and many procurement orders have already
been issued.  Tardy assessment increases costs: a industry "rule of thumb" says that if fixing a
mistake during design costs $1, fixing it during construction costs $10, and during operation
$100.  

ADEPP monitor gives engineers firm guidelines for assessing risks as design evolves and
construction proceeds. ADEPP monitor’s models respond to design changes that are suggested
during procurement, construction, commissioning and initial test runs. ADEPP monitor inform
decision-makers of the consequences of changes, enabling risks to stay consistent with
primary design parameters and regulations.  Therefore intelligent application of the ADEPP
monitor will save a considerable proportion of the losses resulting from current practices, and
provide evidence of compliance with regulations.

ADEPP monitor is used for the following end-users:

  • Design engineers and technicians (in consulting engineer firms and plant manufacturers)
  • Process plant operators (technicians and managers)
  • Maintenance engineers and technicians (employed by plant owners and contractors)
  • Troubleshooting engineers (owners, contractors and consultants)
  • Inspectors and specialists with special responsibilities for health, safety, quality assurance
    and environmental protection (plant owners, consultants, regulatory agencies, insurers,
    certification agents).  


ADEPP History

ADEPP has been developed in 1994 by Fabienne F. Salimi expert in Dynamic Simulation and
Frederic Salimi expert in Safety and Reliability in France. The French governmental bodies and
industrial organisations have supported development of ADEPP both financially and technically.
ADEPP is protected by APP (Agence pour Protection des Programmes) in France.

ADEPP Academy has been established in
2007 in UK to assist the industrial projects by the
customised online HSE services by ADEPP monitor.
