At iFluids Engineering, we provide specialized ENVID Study Services to help industries identify, evaluate, and manage potential environmental risks early in the project design phase. Our objective is to ensure complete environmental compliance, reduce project delays, and support your organization’s sustainability and ESG goals.
What Is an ENVID Study?
An ENVID (Environmental Identification) Study is a structured and systematic review conducted during the early stages of a project. The aim is to recognize possible environmental impacts such as emissions, waste generation, and ecological disruption before they occur.
This proactive approach helps industries implement preventive measures and ensures alignment with local and international environmental standards.
Who Needs an ENVID Study?
ENVID studies are essential for sectors including:
- Oil & Gas Industry
- Chemical & Petrochemical Industries
- Mining and Heavy Industries
- Infrastructure and Energy Projects
Why ENVID Is Critical
Conducting an ENVID study helps organizations:
- Prevent environmental violations
- Ensure compliance with environmental laws and ESG standards
- Build trust with regulators and local communities
- Improve sustainability ratings and investor confidence
Our ENVID Study Process
ENVID studies follow a structured workshop methodology facilitated by an independent chairman. The workshops involve:
- Project execution team representatives
- Engineering contractor discipline engineers
- Environmental consultants
- Other relevant technical specialists
Project Documentation Reviewed
- Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs)
- Layouts and plot plans
- Site-specific environmental data
Lifecycle Stages Assessed
- Construction
- Commissioning
- Normal operations
- Abnormal operating conditions
- Emergency or accidental scenarios
Environmental Impacts Evaluated
- Emissions to the atmosphere (point sources and fugitive)
- Aqueous effluents (domestic and industrial)
- Waste generation (hazardous and non-hazardous)
- Use of energy, water, and material resources
- Environmental noise and vibration
- Storage and handling of feedstock, products, and by-products
- Worksite preparation, abandonment, and restoration
- Accidental releases to land or water
- Land use changes
- Marine activities (e.g., dredging, cable laying)
Projects may be divided into major components (processes, utilities, support systems) for separate brainstorming sessions.
Identifying Environmental Receptors
- Environmental components likely to receive impacts are identified
- Data from prior environmental studies may be integrated to enhance accuracy
- Information may be sourced from the project’s Environmental (EV) Department
Risk Evaluation Methodology
Each environmental aspect is assessed using a semi-quantitative risk assessment:
- Likelihood of occurrence
- Magnitude of consequence
- The product of these factors determines the environmental risk level
- Provides a transparent, consistent, and documented framework for decision-making
Outcome: Environmental Risk Register
The ENVID study produces a comprehensive Environmental Risk Register documenting:
- All identified environmental aspects
- Associated risks
- Legal requirements
- Environmental management measures
- Residual impacts
- Additional measures where residual impacts exist
