ADVANCED REACTIVE SYSTEM SCREENING TOOL (ARSST)
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
The new Advanced Reactive System Screening Tool (ARSST) is an easy to use and cost- effective calorimeter that can quickly and safely identify potential chemical hazards in the process industry. ARSST data yield critical ...
MECHANICAL INTEGRITY INSPECTION FOR PRESSURE RETAINING EQUIPMENT
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
Linking Engineering Standards with Process Safety Managemnet Systems
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
The techniques of Process Safety Management (PSM) are now an integral part of the operations of process plants in the United States. As the name implies, Process Safety Management is fundamentally a management standard; ...
Reactive Chemical Screening - A Widespread Weak Link?
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
It is an accepted practice in the fine chemical industry that feeds, products and intermediates for which thermal stability data is unavailable, are first “screened” and depending on the results, might then be subjected ...
Practical Approaches to Benchmarking
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
Benchmarking is a very effective tool to improve performance. It provides a systematic approach to identify and learn about best practices. However, there are many pitfalls associated with benchmarking that can make it a ...
Materials, Corrosion and Safety
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
This presentation will develop themes associated with the selection and fabrication of materials for use in chemical, petrochemical, and energy production. Fundamentals underlying these themes will be covered. The role of ...
Regulations, Standards, and Safety Instrumented Systems
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
Chlorine in Perspective
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
Public concerns about chlorine and chlorinated chemicals were first aroused by Rachel Carson in 1962 with the publication of her book Silent Spring in which the uses of DDT and other chlorinated pesticides were attacked. ...
Identifying the Underlying System-Based Causes of Human Errors in Major Chemical Incidents
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
Impact of Industrial Electric Rate Structure on Energy Conservation - A Utility Viewpiont
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
As the price of energy rises, changes in industrial electric rates will have an impact on energy usage and conservation. Utilities interested in reducing system peak demands may reflect this need in the rate structure as ...
