The Challenge: Scattered Environmental and Air Source Data

A midstream energy company & pipeline operator found itself with multiple rigid and disparate systems, all fed by non-standardized data collection processes. All of this relied on manual data entry points, calculations, and legacy software that was not intuitive or user friendly. In order to improve quality, consistency, and accessibility of environmental and air source management data, they needed a new solution that provided:

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

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

quote-image 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.”
