Process Safeguards and Risk Analysis for Offshore Proccessing
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2000)
Process safeguards have been traditionally designed into petroleum processing systems. The confined and remote nature of offshore petroleum added special conditions to process safeguard requirements. Increased regulatory ...
COMPUTER AIDED FIRE SAFETY SYSTEMS IN CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2000)
Handling a Crisis Situation Through Media Training
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2001)
When an abnormal situation occurs at your facility, management must be prepared, not only to handle the situation itself, but also to effectively communicate with stakeholders. The media is very important vehicle for this ...
Evaluating Safety Instrumented System Needs Using Process Hazard Analysis Data
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2001)
Determining Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) needs is the first step of a long process of complying and maintaining compliance with national and international standards. How a company goes about determining SIS needs can ...
Economical Mitigation of Explosion Hazards for Plant Siting
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2001)
The overpressure, impulse and ultimate damage resulting from a vapor cloud explosion are primarily a function of flame speed, flammable mass, and the distance to the target. Flame speed is determined by the inherent burning ...
Reactivity of Unsaturated Hydrocarbons Via Adiabatic Calorimetry
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2000)
Selected olefins, diolefins, and alkynes have been examined via adiabatic calorimetry to understand the behavior of these species as a function of temperature. APTAC (Automatic Pressure Tracking Adiabatic Calorimeter) and ...
Application of Ab initio Principles for Prediction of Chemical Reactivity
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2000)
To simulate the behavior of a chemical reaction or unit operation, thermodynamic, kinetic or mechanistic information is necessary. Such data are usually obtained from direct experimental measurements, empirical correlations, ...
Integrating Supply Chain and Facility Risk Analyses For Improved Business Decisions
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
Typically, business supply chain risks are managed separately from fixed facility risks. However, where significant fixed site risk reduction can negatively impact a supply chain, a study that addresses both the supply ...
Potential Impacts to Process Safety Management from Mergers, Acquisitions, Downsizing, and Re-Engineering
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2001)
Significant potential impacts to process safety management performance can be generated by corporate organizational mergers, acquisitions, downsizing, and re-engineering. This paper explores a selection of consequences ...
If You Can't Measure, You Can't Contol It ProSmart
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2001)
Convinced of the importance of good process safety management (PSM), the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) began a project in 1993 to measure the effectiveness of management systems. The ultimate objective was to ...
