Mannan, Sam; West, Harry (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 1998)The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 mandated the development of regulations for the protection of workers, public, and the environment from catastrophic releases and chemical plant accidents. As a result, the US Environmental ...

Lander, Elliott; Peres, Camille; Mannan, Sam (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)Well written procedures are an integral part of any industrial operation for safe operation, managing risks and continuous improvement. Although the importance of procedures is recognized by all industries and regulators, ...

Ganesan, Balaji (2013-12-04)A dust is classified as explosible based on the laboratory tests specified by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E 1226. This standard requires that a dust be uniformly dispersed into an enclosed 20-Liter ...
-
Reyes Valdes, Olga Juliana (2016-04-08)Several of the most catastrophic process safety incidents, such as Bhopal and most recently Texas West Fertilizer explosion, were initiated by runaway reactions. Consequences of such incidents include, fatalities, environmental ...

Gopalaswami, Nirupama (2016-04-22)Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a cryogenic liquid consisting predominantly of methane compressed to 1/600th of its gaseous volume for transportation. A release of LNG on water during marine operations can occur due to ...
-
Hong, Yizhi (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 ...

Huang, Yingqing (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)Interparticle interactions determine the microstructure, stability, rheology, and optical properties of concentrated colloidal suspensions involved in paint, paper, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries, etc. Frequency ...
-
Zhang, Jiaqi (2016-04-13)Although there is a fast growth in the production and application of nanomaterials, very little research about the fire and explosion hazards associated with nanomaterials has been done. Dust explosion studies on micro-size ...

Lamus Gualdron, Guido Alexander (2016-05-09)According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), the natural gas consumption in the US was 1,726 billion cubic feet in January 2013, and the demand has been increasing rapidly around the world as natural gas ...
-
Cormier, Benjamin Rodolphe (2009-05-15)The increased demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) has led to the construction of several new LNG terminals in the United States (US) and around the world. To ensure the safety of the public, consequence modeling is used ...
-
Reid, Dariya (2013-11-26)The formation of isotactic poly(propylene) (iPP) and polycarbonate (PC) nanowires of tunable diameter was demonstrated by melt-wetting the polymer into nanoporous anodic alumina. The crystallization process was analyzed ...
-
Park, Sunhwa (2017-05-30)As chemical process plants have become more involved and complex, the likelihood of hazardous incidents has increased simultaneously. That is, the more complex a facility’s systems, the more factors engineers must consider. ...
-
Rosas Martinez, Camilo Andres (2016-04-06)Most of the previous work has been guided towards the understanding of this phenomenon under a uniform obstacle distribution, i.e., same obstacle shape, blockage ratio, and gap between obstacles. However, industrial ...
