(2021-05-20)Most incidents in complex systems such as process plants follow incubation periods where weak signals exist for a long time. It is necessary to identify and resolve weak signals to prevent incidents proactively. Since “weak ...
-
(2019-02-08)Due to the operational complexities of drilling, completion and well intervention activities, it is often quite challenging to predict a potential blowout scenario timely and efficiently. In drilling operations, blowouts ...
-
(2022-07-28)Process scale-up for highly exothermic reactions often comes with the risk of runaway reactions. In order to prevent thermal runaway reactions and its associated incidents, requirements on cooling equipment and operating ...
-
(2022-02-01)In traditional industrial process design approaches, techno-economic criteria have been the primary objectives in the early process design stages. Safety is often considered only in the later design stage (e.g., detailed ...
