(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)Vehicles in chemical plants and refineries can be ignition sources for fires and explosions, particularly in situations involving crash impacts that cause chemical leakage. Generally, HAZOP methodology is used for facility ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)A chemical process facility is a highly complex system. The interactions among a small group of the functions, such as process, equipment, human, organizational functions, could split, merge or couple leading to a complex ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)Compressors and pumps are amongst the most common sources of leaks in hydrocarbon processing facilities. Preventing leaks is the task of maintenance and inspection programs. Ignition sources are difficult to eliminate given ...
