(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)Qualitative risk analysis is focused on applying methods to prevent accidents in diverse process plants. The numerical number resulting in the QRA tells nothing about the ability for systems’ recovery if an upset related ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)Complete, thorough, and correct process safety management depends to a large extent on complete, thorough, and correct process hazard identification, both before and during the process hazards analysis (PHA) review. Findings ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)The Process Industry has an established practice of crediting IPLs (Independent Protection Layers) to meet risk reduction targets as part of LOPA (Layer of Protection Analysis) studies. Often the risk targets are calculated ...

(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2000)The system describes the management system used at Institut for Kemiteknik at DTU to perform safety assessments of new experimental set-ups and to ensure, that MSDSs are consulted before a chemical is used, and government ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 1998)One critical area of uncertainty in toxic risk assessment studies is human dose-response relationships, particularly for acute exposures. Probit equations are lacking/questionable for many materials, and the use of ERPG ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), an economically attractive and environmental friendly fuel is the current energy alternative across the globe. Its market potential and high demand is felt currently in the Indian subcontinent ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)The paper describes the process that a large company uses to analyze the risk associated with liquid overfill from pressure vessels and atmospheric storage in both petrochemical and refining operations. Due to learnings ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2001)In order for a facility to extend the operating lifetime of pressure vessels and piping, safely and cost effectively, it is necessary to implement the latest inspection and maintenance strategies. Risk Based Inspection ...
