dc.description.abstract	During the independent Asset Integrity Review (i-AIR) audit conducted on one of theoffshore production facility, use of instrument air as separation medium for separation sealof the process gas booster compressors Dry Gas Seal units was noticed as a â€œSafety Issueâ€�i-AIR report recommended to conduct a formal risk assessment to ascertain the risk ofusing instrument air and put forth any modifications and/or safeguards/controls needed tomitigate the risk to ALARP levelsAccordingly, a risk assessment was conducted followed by a detailed engineering studywhich came out with various mitigation solutionsThis case study will present the safety issues encountered, risk assessment conducted,mitigation solutions analyzed, solutions implemented, results and lessons learnt
