Functional Safety for the Rhineland — Your local SIL provider from Hürth
Headquartered in Hürth, we are on site in the greater Cologne area within 30 minutes. SIL classification, HAZOP moderation and safety-lifecycle support per IEC 61508/61511 — delivered by TÜV-certified Functional Safety Engineers.
Short distances in the Rhineland — no kilometer limit
Our headquarters sits in Hürth directly at the edge of Cologne. That means: fast on-site meetings, short-notice travel for critical projects, and deep knowledge of the regional process industry. For larger projects we are available nationwide.
- Headquarters in Hürth — 15 km from Cologne, under 30 min travel time
- Regular presence in chemical parks Leverkusen, Dormagen, Hürth-Knapsack, Wesseling
- Short-notice appointments for commissioning and acceptance possible
- No kilometer limit — we also travel to Düsseldorf, Bonn and Wuppertal

The process industry in the Rhineland — we know it
Years of projects in the chemical parks and industrial clusters of the region have made us familiar with local specifics — from plant standards of large operators to local authorities.
Chempark Leverkusen / Dormagen / Uerdingen
Currenta sites with strict safety and explosion-protection requirements. Our projects range from Ethernet-APL migrations to SIL revalidations of more than 60 safety functions.
Hürth-Knapsack chemical park
Right next to our headquarters in Hürth — our Functional Safety Engineers are on site at the chemical park within 10 minutes. Short distances for acceptance support, commissioning and short-notice appointments.
Wesseling / Godorf chemical park
Refinery-adjacent process plants with high requirements per IEC 61511. We have supported operators there with revalidations of PLT safety functions — from initial survey through to updated SIL calculations.
Hydrogen & energy transition in the Rhineland
H2-specific safety functions for burner and reaction systems in the chemical industry. SIL-3-capable emergency-shutdown systems and specialised HAZOP moderation for the climate-neutral transition.
Municipal water & wastewater utilities
Sensor and rain-sensor integration, SCADA connection via OPC UA, periodic explosion-protection inspections in pumping and treatment stations across the Rhineland.
Food processing and specialty chemicals
Smaller and mid-size production sites with specific requirements for explosion protection (dust explosions, organic solvents) and inspection concepts per BetrSichV.
Real projects, real clients — delivered in the Rhineland
Not marketing slogans: a selection of our completed projects on site. More details are available in our case studies.
Steam-network monitoring with Ethernet-APL
Currenta GmbH & Co. KG
Ethernet-APL infrastructure for continuous monitoring of the steam distribution network in the Chempark, including SIEMENS S7-1500 and 5G connection to the control system.
Ongoing explosion-protection documents since 2017
Plant operator
Continuous maintenance of explosion-protection documents per §6 GefStoffV for 28 plants — including ZÜS-supported inspection and 3-year cycle management.
Revalidation of 60+ PLT safety functions
Chemical production plant
Complete safety revalidation per IEC 61511 with SIL calculation, SRS revision and verification of the program implementation in the safety controller.
IoT connection for vibration-measurement technology
AVIBIA GmbH
IoT gateway (Siemens IoT 2050) connecting vibration sensors to SCADA/cloud via OPC UA, SFTP and Modbus TCP.
H2-burner safety functions
Chemical production plant
Development of SIL-3-capable emergency-shutdown systems and specialised HAZOP for hydrogen burners in the climate-neutral transition of chemical production.
Rain-sensor integration into telecontrol network
Municipal water utility
Integration of rain sensors into Siemens S7 controllers and forwarding of measurement data via OPC UA to the superordinate telecontrol system.
