The Challenge: Scattered Environmental and Air Source Data
A one-stop platform for air sources and emission management, specifically related to tanks & loading racks
Historical data mapping and migration for 70+ sites
Digital data entry, management, & reporting of multiple air sources and scenarios of tanks & non-tank sources
Automatic calculations of complicated & detailed emissions
Formula displays for tanks and loading racks
The Solution: Consolidated, Consistent Data Entry and Management
With 70 sites and over 10,000 miles of pipeline, this organization is the largest independent liquid terminals and pipeline operator in the United States. After a period of significant growth, with all the data required to manage those sites and their daily operations, they needed a better solution to support their environmental management programs, including specific functionality for consolidated tanks and air source management capabilities and on-going maintenance for process and improvement updates.
They chose Benchmark Gensuite as their digital solutions platform for its ability to provide:
Configurable digital solutions with the ability to scale to meet evolving company needs
A simple user interface for quick and easy data entry
Embedded EPA standards and emission calculations across different scenarios
Engaged outside consultants with domain expertise for data verification & launch support
Dedicated global support during and after implementation
The Value of Subject Matter Experts
The customer leveraged the Benchmark Gensuite team’s long-standing partnership with EHS, Sustainability, and domain experts, Huco Consulting. Alongside our internal experts, the Huco team assists with the design, data verifications, and launch concerning the complicated and detailed emission calculations.
This empowered the organization to:
- Support complicated data and calculation verification for company SMEs
- Working with Levin Sources for a comprehensive look at the policies, procedures, and programs related to global human rights and the supplier code of conduct; and
- Developing a guidance document that outlines how the organization’s global business units can meet forthcoming regulatory due diligence requirements.
- Ensure that data captured provided the correct emission outputs for accurate and detailed regulatory reporting
The Results: Clear, Flexible Support and Technology
Having our consulting partners through every step of the implementation was critical. Our SMEs know the inputs, they know what the required output from the system needs to be, but there was a gap between our operational lingo and the design lingo. The consulting partners were able to bridge that gap and thereby bring us and Benchmark Gensuite to the best final product.”
Partnering with Benchmark Gensuite and the consulting firm, Huco, for regulatory content & calculation set-up, the company successfully implemented a standardized framework across their footprint for a one-stop solution to all their environmental management needs within a user-friendly, flexible platform.
The combination of technology and support made a significant impact for the organization.
