(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)Although most organizations have risk critical information available, it is not always integrated. In this paper, a bowtie perspective is proposed that enables an integration of three risk data sources. Issues with these ...

(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 1999)During major plant upsets, it is often necessary to safely relieve the process fluids contained in process equipment. The relieved vapors may be flammable and/or toxic, and the vapor clouds may be within the explosive ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)A Nowadays, the water spray curtain is recognized as a useful technique to mitigate major industrial hazards. It combines attractive features such as simplicity of use, efficiency and adaptability to different types of ...

(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)The Process Safety Management (PSM) Standard requires that covered facilities manage change through the Management of Change (MOC) program. A robust MOC program effectively identifies and analyzes changes. Observation has ...

(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2001)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 ...

(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 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 ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2000)Considerable developmental work has gone into modeling dispersion of accidental outdoor releases; less has been applied to indoor releases. Indoor dispersion is characterized by the influence of a ventilation system and ...

Modeling the blanketing and warming effect of high expansion foam used for LNG vapor risk mitigation (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)Natural Gas is a cleaner energy when compared to other sources like oil or coal. Its consumption has been drastically increasing over the past few years and is projected to increase further. Liquefying natural gas is an ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)The consequence modelling package Phast includes steady-state and time-varying discharge models for vessel orifice releases of toxic or flammable materials. These models first calculate the depressurisation between the ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)In the Arctic environment, fluid temperature in pipeline can drop below the freezing point of water, which causes wax and ice to form on pipeline surface. Solid formation on pipeline surface can lead to flow assurance and ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)There has been a rising demand for natural gas across the World. In many countries, this demand is being satisfied through an increasing number of marine LNG Carrier (LNGC) deliveries and hence there is a safety requirement ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)The purpose of this study is to compare calculated sizes of explosion venting fireballs to correlations for a range of gas explosions in enclosures fitted with an explosion vent. Explosion vents are commonly used to protect ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)The present paper describes the theory behind the “plume rise from warehouse fires model” as implemented in the software package EFFECTS. This model simulates the rising of buoyant plumes due to the density difference ...

-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)Leading indicators are all the rage for managing not only Process Safety but all aspects of EHS performance. However; chances are, you are not truly harnessing the power of leading indicators because you do not clearly ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)Drinking water supply involves a complex network of natural and man-made infrastructure necessary to capture, store, convey, treat, and discharge this necessary resource. Each component in this “cloud to tap” supply chain ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)Over many decades there has been a significant development of knowledge-based, intelligent design tools and their use in the design of process systems. Amongst such tools are “intelligent” piping and instrumentation (P&IDs) ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)Maintenance is an essential part of mechanical integrity programs and aims to prevent the occurrence of process safety incidents and costly unplanned shutdowns. Maintenance can increase the reliability of equipment in ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)The use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for understanding the fire hazard potential, can be an alternative to experimental studies for the process safety industry. Detailed experimental measurements are available for ...
