Forced Dispersion of Liquefied Natural Gas Vapor Clouds with Water Spray Curtain Application
(2011-02-22)
There has been, and will continue to be, tremendous growth in the use and distribution of liquefied natural gas (LNG). As LNG poses the hazard of flammable vapor cloud formation from a release, which may result in a massive ...
Critical Analysis and Review of Flash Points of High Molecular Weight Poly-functional C, H, N, O Compounds
(2011-08-08)
The research focuses on the critical review and prediction of flash points of high molecular weight compounds used mainly in the specialty chemical area. Thus far this area of high molecular weight specialty chemicals has ...
Efficient Nonlinear Optimization with Rigorous Models for Large Scale Industrial Chemical Processes
(2011-08-08)
Large scale nonlinear programming (NLP) has proven to be an effective framework
for obtaining profit gains through optimal process design and operations in
chemical engineering. While the classical SQP and Interior Point ...
Integrating Safety Issues in Optimizing Solvent Selection and Process Design
(2011-10-21)
Incorporating consideration for safety issues while designing solvent processes has become crucial in light of the chemical process incidents involving solvents that have taken place in recent years. The implementation of ...
Theoretical and Experimental Evaluation of Chemical Reactivity
(2011-10-21)
Reactive chemicals are presented widely in the chemical and petrochemical
process industry. Their chemical reactivity hazards have posed a significant challenge to
the industries of manufacturing, storage and transportation. ...
The Development of Dynamic Operational Risk Assessment in Oil/Gas and Chemical Industries
(2011-08-08)
In oil/gas and chemical industries, dynamics is one of the most essential characteristics
of any process. Time-dependent response is involved in most steps of both
the physical/engineering processes and the equipment ...
Active and Knowledge-based Process Safety Incident Retrieval System
(2011-10-21)
The sustainability and continued development of the chemical industry is to a large extent dependent on learning from past incidents. The failure to learn from past mistakes is rather not deliberate but due to unawareness ...
Control of Vapor Dispersion and Pool Fire of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) with Expansion Foam
(2011-10-21)
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is flammable when it forms a 5 – 15 percent volumetric
concentration mixture with air at atmospheric conditions. When the LNG vapor comes in
contact with an ignition source, it may result in ...
