Multi-Objective Analysis of a Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) Process from Economic, Safety, and Environmental Perspectives
(2017-07-25)
One of the most important challenges facing chemical engineers today is developing more efficient processes that reduce the discharge of greenhouse gasses (GHG) and the usage of material and energy resources. Furthermore, ...
Improving Workplace Safety by Thinking About What Might Have Been: To What Extent, Why, and When Does Counterfactual Thinking Influence Workplace Safety Behavior?
(2017-06-29)
Human information processing theories of workplace safety suggest that cognition is an antecedent of safety behavior. However, little research has directly tested cognitive variables as predictors of workplace safety within ...
Thermal Hazard Analysis of Nitroaromatic Compounds
(2019-07-18)
Nitroaromatic compounds are among the largest group of industry chemicals. Due to the high bond-association energy (BDE) of the C-NO2 in nitroaromatic compounds (297 ± 17 kJ/mole), once the runaway reaction is triggered, ...
Process Hazard Evaluation and Safer Design for Oxidation of Secondary Alcohols to Ketones Using Hydrogen Peroxide
(2019-11-08)
Ketones are industrially produced in large quantities. They find application as solvents and polymer and pharmaceuticals precursors. Substantial efforts have been put towards a green oxidation of alcohols to ketones with ...
Surface-Active Nanoplate for Oil Recovery
(2020-03-23)
Janus colloidal surfactants with opposing wettability on two structural parts are receiving attention for their intriguing structural and practical application in various industries. Combining the advantages of molecular ...
Experimental and Theoretical Study on Stability of High Expansion Foam Used for LNG Vapor Risk Mitigation
(2019-02-28)
Liquefaction of natural gas is an effective way to easily store and transport natural gas. A spill of liquefied natural gas (LNG) can result in the formation of a vapor cloud, which can migrate downwind near the ground ...
Developing Leading Indicators Framework for Predicting Kicks and Preventing Blowouts
(2019-02-08)
Due to the operational complexities of drilling, completion and well intervention activities, it is often quite challenging to predict a potential blowout scenario timely and efficiently. In drilling operations, blowouts ...
Develop a Hazard Index Using Machine Learning Approach for the Hazard Identification of Chemical Logistic Warehouses
(2019-11-04)
With the rapid development of chemical process plants, the safe storage of hazardous chemicals become an essential topic. Several chemical warehouse incidents related to fire and explosion have been reported recently. ...
LNG Suppression Foam Stabilized By Zirconium Phosphate Nanoplatelets
(2015-04-14)
In this work, a zirconium phosphate based universal foam stabilizer was developed to stabilize and improve performance of firefighting foam and high expansion liquid natural gas (LNG) suppression foam. With the world’s ...
The Effects of Advice-Giving and Advice-Taking on Safety Behavior: A Social Network Perspective
(2020-04-16)
Previous research suggests that safety behavior is an important antecedent of workplace safety that can be influenced by coworkers within the employee’s network. Drawing on the social network perspective, both advice and ...
