ASTERION · SECTOR FOCUS

Chemicals & Process

Continuous operations, process safety management, turnaround cycles, and regulatory rigour. Asterion runs chemical plants as one intelligent system — engineered for the consequence of getting it wrong.

OPERATIONAL REALITY

In process, every obligation is a safety obligation.

Chemical and process operators run continuous plants where any loss of containment, any missed inspection, any MOC not closed out, any permit-to-work gap, has consequences that go far beyond cost. Plant life is measured in decades; turnaround cycles in years. The cost of reactive management is absorbed as HSE, environmental, and margin risk — usually invisible until it isn't.

Process-safety critical

Reactors, columns, exchangers, compressors, storage — failure modes with severe consequences. API 510 / 570 / 653 is the floor, not the ceiling.

Multi-year turnaround cycles

A 4-6 year catalyst change or catalyst exchange is a multi-hundred-million-dollar event. Every slip compounds — scope, readiness, execution, post-shutdown.

Regulated, scrutinised, auditable

PSM, COMAH, Seveso III, REACH, environmental permits — evidence of compliance must be immediate, complete, and defensible.

HOW ASTERION RUNS CHEMICALS & PROCESS

Eight modules. Engineered for process integrity.

LexSphere
Contract Intelligence
Feedstock, offtake, long-term service agreements, EPC contracts — obligations parsed and linked to operational systems, from liability caps to performance guarantees.
AssetVault
Asset Lifecycle
Reactors, columns, heat exchangers, rotating equipment, storage, utilities — with P&ID-linked hierarchy, criticality, and lifecycle position.
ReliCore
Reliability Engineering
Pump, compressor, and heat exchanger reliability modelling. RBI-aligned failure modes. Predictive maintenance calibrated to continuous-process duty cycles.
TurnSure
Turnaround Assurance
Structured scope, readiness gates, execution monitoring, and post-event analytics — proven 20-35% reduction in budget overrun on major TARs.
Inspecta
Inspection & Integrity
API 510 pressure vessels, API 570 piping, API 653 tanks, PSSR, relief device testing. Every statutory inspection scheduled, captured, and audit-defensible.
SHREQ360
PSM & Safety Governance
PHA / HAZOP register, MOC, LOPA, incident investigation, permit-to-work. Process safety performance indicators per API RP 754. Continuous assurance.
ESG Beacon
ESG Governance
Scope 1-3 emissions by asset, effluent and waste tracking, chemical inventory, flare and relief reporting — framework-aligned for GRI, SASB, TCFD, CDP.
CrewOptix
Workforce Optimisation
Turnaround resource planning, craft competency tracking, operator certification, contractor onboarding — calibrated to process-plant workforce reality.

START HERE

Start with a process diagnostic.

Every Asterion engagement in process industries begins with a structured diagnostic — reviewing your integrity programme, turnaround performance, PSM maturity, and reliability data. No platform deployment until the safety and operational baseline is clear.
