Alnashwan, Mohammed (2015-07-09)Most major process safety incidents are preventable and can be avoided as shown in several incident investigation reports. Moreover, these reports indicated that these incidents were certain to occur as shown from the ...
-
Wang, Yanjun (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)There has been growing public concern regarding the threat to people and environment from industrial activities, thus more rigorous regulations. The investigation of almost all the major accidents shows that we could ...
-
Gentile, Michela (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Inherent safety has been recognized as a design approach useful to remove or reduce hazards at the source instead of controlling them with add-on protective barriers. However, inherent safety is based on qualitative ...

Peres, S. Camille; Quddus, Noor; Rahmani, Sahmani; Kannan, Pranav; Ahmed, Lubna; Ritchey, Paul; Johnson, William; Mannan, M. Sam (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)Well-written procedures are an integral part of any industrial organization for safe operation, managing risks, and continuous improvement. Regulatory bodies around the world require industries to have current, accurate, ...
-
Yang, Xiaole (2011-08-08)In oil/gas and chemical industries, dynamics is one of the most essential characteristics of any process. Time-dependent response is involved in most steps of both the physical/engineering processes and the equipment ...

Cisneros, Lizbeth; Rogers, William J.; Mannan, M. Sam (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2001)This paper presents experimental measurements of the thermal decomposition reaction of 50 wt% hydroxylamine/water (HA) in an oxygen-free environment using an APTAC calorimeter. Overall kinetics, onset temperatures, heats ...
-
Ruiz Vasquez, Karla Liliana (2009-05-15)Natural gas and petroleum are non-renewable and scarce energy sources. Although, it is well known that hydrocarbon reserves are depleting through the years, oil and gas remain the principal source of energy upon which our ...

Johnston, H. Greg; Chowdhury, Amira Y.; Mannan, M. Sam; Peterson, Eric L. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)Secondary dust explosions in coal mines or industrial settings are known to cause greater catastrophic hazards than the coupled primary explosions themselves. The shock waves produced during a primary explosion, which are ...
-
Jung, Sung Hoon (2009-06-02)Asphalt oxidation causes major changes to binder properties and is hypothesized to be a major contributor to age-related pavement failure such as fatigue cracking. Extensive laboratory aging research has been done to assess ...
-
Keiser, Nathanael Lincoln (2015-08-05)Safety climate researchers include both general and contextualized items in their safety climate measures. However, the relative value of including contextualized items in the prediction of safety outcomes is an empirical ...
