Role of Community Advisory Panels in the Aftermath of Critical Incidents in the Chemical Processing Industry
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2001)
Since the advent of "Responsible Care" initiatives, Community Advisory Panels ("CAP") have played an important role in ensuring community involvement in the safe operation of chemical facilities. Little consideration has ...
Blast Resistant Modular Buildings for the Petroleum and Chemical Processing Industries
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
There exists a need for blast resistant yet portable buildings to protect personnel temporarily assigned duties within explosively hazardous areas. Blast resistant portable buildings are a valuable asset for protection of ...
Process Hazard Analysis Strategies for the Life Cycle of a Grassroots Project
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2000)
During the past three years Stone & Webster has performed a variety of process hazard analyses (PHAs) on projects for a variety of major clients, each with a different corporate PHA performance requirement. This paper ...
ISSUES RELATED TO RATCHETING IN PIPING COMPONENTS
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
Material and piping component test data involving ratcheting are discussed in regards to the phenomenon of shakedown. The data set studied indicates that the general belief about the occurrence of shakedown after a few ...
EMERGENCY RELIEF DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR REACTIVE CHEMICALS
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
A practical approach to sizing venting requirements for reactive chemical systems is outlined. Using calorimeter data from the Reactive System Screening Tool (RSST) or the new Advanced Reactive System Screening Tool (ARSST), ...
Issues in Fault Diagnosis and Isolation
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2001)
In the chemical and other related industries, there has been an impetus to produce higher quality products, to reduce rejection rates, limit down time, and to satisfy increasingly stringent safety and environment regulations. ...
Modeling Aerosol Rainout -- Effect of Droplet MassTransfer
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
The AIChE Center for Chemical Process Safety has coordinated research efforts aimed at characterizing and predicting the behavior of aerosols during accidental releases. Field tests designed to be used for validation of a ...
Effects of Obstacle Geometry on Jet Mixing for Releases of Silane
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2000)
Releases of silane into air and the effects of obstacles were modeled with the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT. First the CFD code simulated the release of a free turbulent jet of silane into air to assure ...
Automating Process Safety Management
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
In February of 1992 the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) promulgated the Process Safety Management Standard (PSM) for Highly Hazardous Chemicals. The stated objective of this standard is to prevent ...
