Infrared Optical Imaging Techniques for Gas Visualization and Measurement
(2012-07-16)
Advancement in infrared imaging technology has allowed the thermal imaging to
detect and visualize several gases, mostly hydrocarbon gases. In addition, infrared
cameras could potentially be used as a non-contact temperature ...
Theoretical and Experimental Evaluation of Chemical Reactivity
(2011-10-21)
Reactive chemicals are presented widely in the chemical and petrochemical
process industry. Their chemical reactivity hazards have posed a significant challenge to
the industries of manufacturing, storage and transportation. ...
Flammability and Combustion Behaviors in Aerosols Formed by Industrial Heat Transfer Fluids Produced by the Electrospray Method
(2012-10-19)
The existence of flammable aerosols presents a high potential for fire hazards in the process industry. Various industrial fluids, most of which operate at elevated temperatures and pressures, can be atomized when released ...
The Development of Dynamic Operational Risk Assessment in Oil/Gas and Chemical Industries
(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 ...
Active and Knowledge-based Process Safety Incident Retrieval System
(2011-10-21)
The sustainability and continued development of the chemical industry is to a large extent dependent on learning from past incidents. The failure to learn from past mistakes is rather not deliberate but due to unawareness ...
Control of Vapor Dispersion and Pool Fire of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) with Expansion Foam
(2011-10-21)
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is flammable when it forms a 5 – 15 percent volumetric
concentration mixture with air at atmospheric conditions. When the LNG vapor comes in
contact with an ignition source, it may result in ...
