Probabilistic Risk Assessment Tool Applied in Facility Layout Optimization
(2016-06-01)
The severity of several chemical incidents occurred in the recent past has been attributed to improper layout arrangement or proximity of a chemical facility to a densely populated area although this is not a new problem. ...
Integration of Human Factors in Offshore Blowout Risk Assessment
(2015-11-30)
Human factors (HFs) are important factors to the Macondo well blowout, but traditional risk assessment has not addressed them. Some common methodologies for offshore drilling risk assessment are fault tree, event tree and ...
Facility Siting and Layout Optimization for Risk Reduction of Offshore Operations
(2015-07-17)
An MINLP optimization model has been created that optimizes the layout of a set of sections with fixed footprint areas bound to an offshore platform of a given size based on safety considerations due to fire, explosion, ...
Cumulative Risk Assessment to Analyze Increased Risk Due to Impaired Barriers in Offshore Facilities
(2019-04-09)
Investigation of past incidents always reveal deficiencies that are not directly equipment-related, but may be non-technical in nature, such as procedural deviation, inadequate communication etc. Past risk assessment models ...
Application of Fuzzy Logic to Quantify the Uncertainty in Layer of Protection Analysis
(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 ...
