Process Hazard Analysis Strategies for the Life Cycle of a Grassroots Project
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2000)
During the past three years Stone & Webster has performed a variety of process hazard analyses (PHAs) on projects for a variety of major clients, each with a different corporate PHA performance requirement. This paper ...
Issues in Fault Diagnosis and Isolation
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2001)
In the chemical and other related industries, there has been an impetus to produce higher quality products, to reduce rejection rates, limit down time, and to satisfy increasingly stringent safety and environment regulations. ...
Modeling Aerosol Rainout -- Effect of Droplet MassTransfer
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
The AIChE Center for Chemical Process Safety has coordinated research efforts aimed at characterizing and predicting the behavior of aerosols during accidental releases. Field tests designed to be used for validation of a ...
Effects of Obstacle Geometry on Jet Mixing for Releases of Silane
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2000)
Releases of silane into air and the effects of obstacles were modeled with the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT. First the CFD code simulated the release of a free turbulent jet of silane into air to assure ...
Automating Process Safety Management
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
In February of 1992 the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) promulgated the Process Safety Management Standard (PSM) for Highly Hazardous Chemicals. The stated objective of this standard is to prevent ...
Modeling Aerosol Rainout
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2001)
The AIChE Center for Chemical Process Safety has coordinated research efforts aimed at characterizing and predicting the behavior of aerosols during accidental releases. Field tests designed to be used for validation of a ...
Menthal Tank Fires
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2000)
Quantitative Risk Analysis - A Realistic Approach to Relief Header and Flare System Design
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2001)
As process industry facilities increase production capacity and add processing units, existing relief headers and flare systems are frequently found to no longer meet the same conservative design criteria used for the ...
EVALUATION OF ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS CONDUCTED BY REGULATORY AUTHORITIES AND ADVISORY AGENCIES
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2000)
Due to the large quantities of hazardous chemicals, an accident at a chemical facility can have serious consequences. The owner/operator of a chemical facility has a great interest in investigating the cause of any accident ...
Outlook for Human Factors and Impact on Inherent Safety for the Process Industries
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2000)
It has been well understood by safety professionals that human factors greatly contribute to the success or failure of process safety programs in the chemical process industries as well as represent the area needing the ...
