(2020-04-01)Many batch-wise pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis reactions, for example, alkylpyridine N-oxide synthesis reaction, are highly exothermic with significant risk of thermal runaway leading to multiple incidents in the ...
-
(2020-02-24)The flammable and explosive hazards of aerosol, also referred as mist or spray, are usually ignored compared with the flammable and explosive hazards related to gas and dust. Numerous incidents in various industries have ...
-
(2022-05-18)Within the process industries, a large number of incidents occur each year, leading to injuries, deaths, environmental damage, and economic losses. To address these incidents, various hazard analysis techniques are utilized ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Process monitoring in the chemical and other process industries has been of great practical importance. Early detection of faults is critical in avoiding product quality deterioration, equipment damage, and personal injury. ...
-
(2012-02-14)Hazard communication is an essential part of a comprehensive safety plan, especially for those facilities that contain reactive chemicals. There are a variety of means of communicating a chemical hazard, but one of the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The integration of the safety parameter into process design and optimization is essential. However, there is no previous work in integrating the fire and explosion index (F&EI) into design and optimization. This research ...

Machine Learning Based Prediction Models for Flammability Characteristics in the Chemical Industry (2022-12-13)The prediction models based on Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship (QSPR) and machine learning have been widely applied in the research. Flammability characteristics are critical information for the chemical ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Mist or aerosol explosions present a serious hazard to process industries. Heat transfer fluids are widely used in the chemical process industry, are flammable above their flash points, and can cause aerosol explosions. ...
-
(2017-01-19)The failure of protective systems can be catastrophic, and has its origin in management. Yet, most engineering works regarding protective systems focus on their physical components. Historically, protective systems have ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2015-08-11)Reactive chemicals may proceed into uncontrolled chemical reactions with significant evolutions in temperature and pressure due to vapor/gas production. This happens when there is loss of control of the temperature of the ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)By convention, chemical engineering requires us to develop a set of empirical equations that predict the transformation of one state into another. Process Safety generally lacks that discipline and as a consequence is ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Protecting modern engineered systems has become increasingly difficult due to their complexity and the difficulty of predicting potential failures. With the added threat of terrorism, the desire to design systems resilient ...
-
(2021-10-20)With the rising demand for renewable energy sources, Hydrogen is gaining increased attention due to its potential for zero emissions in transportation and stationary applications. Various Hydrogen-based technologies such ...
