Mechanical completion does not mean a unit can start up safely.
Process safety must be assured, PSSR and RFSU distinct and complete, operators competent, cold runs passed, spare parts staged, and asset data handed over — before startup and the ramp to nameplate operations.
Everything a startup has to coordinate.
One Readiness Room spans every workstream that must be true before a startup go/no-go — each with owners, criteria, and accepted evidence.
Operations assurance
Owner operational readiness across the asset.
Process safety
Process-safety assurance and barriers.
PSSR / RFSU distinction
PSSR vs RFSU kept distinct and complete.
OTS / cold-run trials
Operator training simulator and cold-run trials.
Operator competency
Operator competency assured and recorded.
Emergency response
Emergency response readiness and drills.
Spare parts & data handover
Critical spares and asset-data handover.
SIMOPS & stabilization
SIMOPS controls and ramp to nameplate.
Three kinds of gate. One startup decision.
A startup decision depends on distinct authorities. CitiriOS keeps startup gates, process-safety evidence, and operations acceptance separate and traceable.
RFSU / startup readiness
Startup readiness gates owned by the operations readiness team, accepted against criteria.
Process safety / regulatory
PSSR, statement of fitness, HSE and regulatory evidence — cannot be overridden by the owner.
Operations acceptance
Owner acceptance to start up and ramp toward nameplate, with residual conditions.
The same platform — in operational assurance language.
Every CitiriOS module maps to how owner-operators run a startup.
Readiness Room
Every workstream, stakeholder, trial, issue, dependency, and gate for a startup.
Ready Score
Startup readiness index by domain, with what is dragging it down.
Evidence Packs
Audit-ready PSSR, RFSU, and process-safety evidence for HSE and regulators.
Gate Authority
Startup, process-safety, and operations-acceptance gates kept distinct.
Dependency Graph
SIMOPS, cold-run sequences, and spare-parts dependencies made explicit.
Handover & Acceptance
Asset-data acceptance, conditions, and stabilization to nameplate operations.
Fit across startup types.
LNG terminal
Full operational assurance across PSSR, cold runs, and RFSU.
Compressor station
Process-safety, SIMOPS, and operator-competency readiness.
Pipeline / pump station
Startup readiness, procedures, and operations acceptance.
Refinery / petrochemical unit
Cold-run trials, spare parts, and ramp-up governance.
Hydrogen / CCUS project
Novel-process readiness, HSE evidence, and startup gates.
Another event type?
Configure a Readiness RoomWhen a startup is governed as evidence rather than status, owner-operators aim to start up safely on schedule, close cold-run issues faster, and ramp toward nameplate with a defensible record.
Outcome figures are shown as target use cases. Published proof carries an internal source, date, method, and approval record.
