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 ...
Development of new methodologies for evaluating the energy performance of new commercial buildings
(2009-06-02)
The concept of Measurement and Verification (M&V) of a new building continues to become
more important because efficient design alone is often not sufficient to deliver an efficient building.
Simulation models that are ...
Measurement of flammability in a closed cylindrical vessel with thermal criteria
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Accurate flammability limit information is necessary for safe handling of gas and
liquid mixtures, and safe operation of processes using such mixtures. The flammability
limit is the maximum or minimum fuel concentration ...
Computational fluid dynamics for LNG vapor dispersion modeling: a key parameters study
(2009-05-15)
The increased demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) has led to the construction of several new
LNG terminals in the United States (US) and around the world. To ensure the safety of the
public, consequence modeling is used ...
