HIMA’s automatic safety test solution supports

BASF new Verbund Site in Zhanjiang

By News Desk 1 28/03/2025

BASF’s largest new construction project in China, the Zhanjiang Verbund Site Project (ZVSP), requires high

personnel and time expenditures for tests, especially Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), Integration Factory
Acceptance Test (IFAT) and loop tests. To reduce these efforts, BASF has opted for the HIMA Smart Safety
Test, integral part of SILworX®, HIMA’s engineering, diagnostics and test tool which enables a flexible,

automated test concept over the entire life cycle of a safety system.

The FAT and IFAT for the first segments of the plant was carried out traditionally. After the manual execution,
it became clear that a new way needed to be followed in order to meet the high-ranking project objectives
and to increase efficiency. This, amongst other aspects is born by the complexity of the start and stop
sequences to be tested.

So, the decision was made to automate future tests with the HIMA Smart Safety Test. By doing so, fully

testing of all static functions as well as the sequences got automatically tested and the test evidence got
created and documented automatically.
