4/3/25, 4:31 PM HIMA’s automatic safety test solution supports BASF new Verbund Site in Zhanjiang | UAE News 24/7
Reflecting timelines and dimensions of this capital investment of
BASF in China, new ways of implementing the safety
functionalities where required to achieve the project objectives
while maintaining plant safety of the highest level achievable.
Based on a close collaboration between BASF and HIMA
engineers a new concept for testing and verification of safety
functions got implemented across the entire project.

The new solution leads to a time saving and cost reduction. In
addition, the test quality and accuracy of individual tests could be
optimized. Based on that a lot of small deficiencies could be found
and cleaned up during the process, which resulted in a faster FAT
and IFAT. Test reports that comply with the specifications, reducing
a large amount of documentation – including the handling of
manual test reports.

The BASF team was highly satisfied with the project quality and
delivery speed, and both parties are currently exploring how to
apply the smart safety test during the upcoming loop tests and
automatic proof testing during the plant operations.

Peter Sieber, Vice President Strategic Marketing of HIMA Group
pointed out: “This project is an excellent example of how close
collaboration between a user and a solution vendor can create
added value at project implementation and operation. It is also a
prove of HIMA’s commitment supporting clients in making the
complexity of functional safety more handable.”
