Auditing the Quality of Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) Studies
(2017-07-20)
The petrochemical industry is subject to various federal and local regulations and requirements that are challenging to meet and resource-intensive. Time and human factors often lead to a “check box” mentality where ...
Comparison of Batch versus Continuous Process in Pharmaceutical Industry Based on Safety Consideration
(2017-05-03)
As opposed to the petro-chemical and bulk chemical industry, where continuous processes are widely applied, the pharmaceutical industry still primarily relies on traditional batch process due to the complexity of product, ...
Studying the Relationship between Inherently Safer Design and Equipment Reliability
(2017-05-03)
During the last decade, inherent safety has emerged as an area of interest in both academic and industrial research. Various regulatory bodies (including US environment protection agency) have enforced the consideration ...
Facility Siting Study of LNG-FSRU System Based on Quantitative Multi-Hierarchy Framework MADA
(2017-12-12)
This research proposed to establish a quantitative assessment framework for a site selection study of liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminal by considering both chemical process safety and marine transportation ...
Safer and More Efficient Reactor Design and Operation for N-Oxidation of Alkylpyridines – From a Perspective of Reactor Modeling and System Analysis
(2017-10-09)
This work aims to promote continuous manufacturing of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals by proper reactor design and operation. These synthetically important yet potentially hazardous chemistries are conventionally carried ...
Application of Fuzzy Logic to Quantify the Uncertainty in Layer of Protection Analysis
(2017-01-23)
Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) is a widely used semi-quantitative risk assessment method. LOPA includes both frequency and consequence expressed in an order of magnitude approximation. Compared with Quantitative Risk ...
Multi-Objective Analysis of a Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) Process from Economic, Safety, and Environmental Perspectives
(2017-07-25)
One of the most important challenges facing chemical engineers today is developing more efficient processes that reduce the discharge of greenhouse gasses (GHG) and the usage of material and energy resources. Furthermore, ...
Improving Workplace Safety by Thinking About What Might Have Been: To What Extent, Why, and When Does Counterfactual Thinking Influence Workplace Safety Behavior?
(2017-06-29)
Human information processing theories of workplace safety suggest that cognition is an antecedent of safety behavior. However, little research has directly tested cognitive variables as predictors of workplace safety within ...
