Operational compliance and improvements
Battelle can help ensure that facilities are efficient and compliant with regulations, keeping clients’ plant, facility, or pipeline "online" and the product flowing. Battelle responds quickly to its clients' needs through solid science and technology approaches. We apply technical expertise in the following areas, environmental monitoring, emergency management systems, process safety management, consultation on operational discharges, and facility integrity assessment/management.
Critical infrastructure protection
Battelle-Korea can help ensure that plans and systems are in place to protect business and national assets. Battelle, a pioneer in infrastructure security to support nuclear laboratories, now designs plans and systems to protect refineries, terminals, offshore facilities, tankers, and liquids,gas, and electric transmission systems against security risks--from simple vandalism to theft to terrorism. Our expertise includes threat, vulnerability and risk assessments; physical security countermeasures development; cyber security of SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) networks; consequence management and event mitigation; and, emergency response planning and management.
Deep sea research services
Battelle's years of experience in deepwater systems, expertise in data collection, sophisticated analytical techniques, and knowledge of compliance issues helps energy companies answer complex exploration questions. This helps energy companies answer tough strategic and technical questions regarding deepwater exploration. Our technical expertise enables companies to differentiate between operational impacts and those occurring in a highly variable natural environment. Among the key services are study design (consisting of biological, chemical, and physical measures in sediment), physical oceanographic data collection and analysis, water column analyses, sediment profiling imaging, the use of autonomous underwater vehicles, and data interpretation and presentation.
