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 ...
A Human Performance Modeling System for Process Safety Operations
(2013-01-02)
Operators have a crucial role in case of an emergency in a process facility. When an abnormality occurs in the process, the operator has a limited time to take corrective actions before system safety devices shut down the ...
Inert Gas Dilution Effect on the Flammability Limits of Hydrocarbon Mixtures
(2012-02-14)
Flammability limit is a most significant property of substances to ensure safety of chemical processes and fuel application. Although there are numerous flammability literature data available for pure substances, for fuel ...
Evaluation of Alternatives for Safer and More Efficient Reactions: A study of the N-oxidation of Alkylpyridines
(2012-02-14)
The catalytic N-oxidation of alkylpyridines, a reaction which uses hydrogen peroxide as the oxidizing agent and the water soluble phosphotungstic acid as the catalyst, is a reaction employed in the pharmaceutical industry. ...
Determining Bounds for a Pressure Hazard Rating to Augment the NFPA 704 Standard
(2012-02-14)
Hazard communication is an essential part of a comprehensive safety plan, especially for those facilities that contain reactive chemicals. There are a variety of means of communicating a chemical hazard, but one of the ...
Integrating Chemical Hazard Assessment into the Design of Inherently Safer Processes
(2012-02-14)
Reactive hazard associated with chemicals is a major safety issue in process industries. This kind of hazard has caused the occurrence of many accidents, leading to fatalities, injuries, property damage and environment ...
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 ...
Combustion and Explosion of Carbon Nanofibers
(2016-04-13)
Although there is a fast growth in the production and application of nanomaterials, very little research about the fire and explosion hazards associated with nanomaterials has been done. Dust explosion studies on micro-size ...
The Safe Storage Study for Autocatalytic Reactive Chemicals
(2010-10-12)
In the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) report,
Improving Reactive Hazard Management, there are 37 out of 167 accidents, which
occurred in a storage tank or a storage area. This fact demonstrates ...
