Ulumuddin, Nisa Zakia Zahra (2017-12-13)When a loss of primary containment of liquefied natural gas (LNG) occurs on the ground, a pool, that simultaneously spreads and vaporizes, is formed posing cryogenic, asphyxiating, and flammable hazards to its surrounding. ...
-
Reyes Valdes, Olga Juliana (2016-04-08)Several of the most catastrophic process safety incidents, such as Bhopal and most recently Texas West Fertilizer explosion, were initiated by runaway reactions. Consequences of such incidents include, fatalities, environmental ...
-
Saha, Nepu (2016-09-22)Runaway reactions are characterized by the exponential increase of the temperature and pressure of a chemical system that could potentially lead to the explosion of the reactor or storage vessel of concern. The consequences ...

Olewski, Tomasz; Ahammad, Monir; Quarishy, Syed; Gan, Ning; Vechot, Luc (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)Over the last few years, the importance of establishing and maintaining a positive safety culture in the process industry and its impact on the safety performances of a company have strongly been emphasized by regulatory ...
-
Olewski, Tomasz; Snakard, Mike; Vechot, Luc (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)Risks associated with academic research are often perceived as being much lower than risks within large-scale process industry operations. While the inventories of hazardous materials are generally lower within an academic ...

Chakroun, Mohamed Amine (2015-05-21)The spill of many chemicals such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) on land or water results in its rapid vaporization and the formation of a dense cloud. The performance of a risk assessment for the spill of flammable chemicals ...
-
Elrefaei, Nagat (2021-09-03)The methane to aromatics conversion process is one of the non-oxidative methane conversion routes, which does not require the costly and energy-intensive syngas production that is the intermediate step for any methane ...
-
Nawayd, Shaikh Mohammed (2018-05-28)For evaluating the consequences and planning for emergencies associated with toxic gas releases, the role of evacuation times is indispensable. In such a release scenario, evacuees may be subjected to varying doses of toxic ...
-
Haque, Md. Alamgir Mojibul (2016-07-13)The exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) method is a widely used univariate process monitoring technique. This conventional EWMA technique is normally designed to optimize the out of control average run length ...
-
Imran, Wafa (2020-07-07)In the ocean, at offshore production facilities, subsea gas releases can occur from the rupture of subsea pipelines, failure in flow lines, gas export lines and subsea equipment. There have been many subsea gas release ...
-
Adia, Neil Alvin Bacal (2020-07-21)In the event that control of process safety risk is lost, the effectiveness of mitigation barriers is paramount in reducing the consequences. When it results in an event such as a toxic gas release, a mitigation barrier ...
-
Srour, Ola (2020-07-20)The underground gas releases from buried pipelines can cause serious damage to the environment, properties, and population. This work aims at modelling the underground gas releases using a computational fluid dynamics ...
-
Nawaz, Waqas (2014-04-25)Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has recently known significant development worldwide. The assessment and the control of the risks associated to the production, storage and transportation of LNG is of paramount importance to ...
-
Ahammad, Monir (2017-04-10)U.S. regulation requires LNG facilities to demonstrate a safe exclusion zone for public safety. European safety case also requires that the facility will demonstrate their risk level within a tolerable limit. Thus, cryogenic ...
-
Mohammed Ashraf, Atif (2016-07-18)Although the majority of incidents involving toxic gas release in process industries occur outdoors, nearby buildings and its indoor environments are also at high risk. Particularly, non-process areas such as administration ...
