Safer and More Efficient Reactor Design and Operation for N-Oxidation of Alkylpyridines – From a Perspective of Reactor Modeling and System Analysis
(2017-10-09)
This work aims to promote continuous manufacturing of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals by proper reactor design and operation. These synthetically important yet potentially hazardous chemistries are conventionally carried ...
Probabilistic Risk Assessment of Offshore Production Platform by Bayesian Network Application to HAZOP and Bow-tie Studies
(2016-12-02)
Successful risk management in an offshore oil and gas production platform requires accurate and up-to-date probability of occurrence of process safety events. Traditional hazard identification and risk assessment techniques ...
Application of Fuzzy Logic to Quantify the Uncertainty in Layer of Protection Analysis
(2017-01-23)
Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) is a widely used semi-quantitative risk assessment method. LOPA includes both frequency and consequence expressed in an order of magnitude approximation. Compared with Quantitative Risk ...
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 ...
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 ...
Risk Management Strategy for Road Transportation of LNG
(2015-08-04)
A central aim of physical organic chemistry is the elucidation of reaction mechanisms. This knowledge is then usable in the rational control of reactions and the development of new synthetic methodology. A reaction mechanism ...
