(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)Chemical Facility Security has become increasingly important after the World Trade Center attacks in New York City and a continued list of other terrorist attacks over the last 17 years on many other facilities and targets ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)In this study facility siting of an existing ammonia-urea complex is evaluated based on risk analysis. A number of critical process units of the plant are selected as the sources of toxic release and overpressure. Locations ...

(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)The oil and gas extraction (OGE) industry continues to experience an elevated fatality rate; from 2010-2014 fatality the rate in this industry was nearly seven times higher than that for all U.S. workers. OGE workers are ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a widely used methodology in the process industries. FTA is used for the development of failure mechanisms, computation of failure frequencies and the determination of the probability of failure ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)The challenge to glean understanding and insight from an array of historical safety-related reports and observations has existed since the dawn of the HSE discipline. While most organizations today use traditional methods ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)It is becoming increasingly common to use computer applications and software tools to aid engineers in designing fire and gas detector layouts. These tools help designers optimize layouts as well as verify, quantify and ...

(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)In September 26, 2012 NYPC Mailiao Ethylene Glycol (EG-4) plant reported a fire incident on the spool piece flanges of inlet pipeline of both two Ethylene Oxide (EO) reactors, R-1/R-2, which were founded 43 minutes later ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)The greatest challenge to fire protection engineering is the gap between codes and optimized facility design. Fire code and industrial practices provide prescriptive guidelines to mitigate the risk and control hazards. ...

-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)Recent accidents involving trains carrying flammable liquids (crude oil, ethanol, etc.) and consequent release of these flammable liquids have resulted in the formation of large fires. These fires have caused significant ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)This paper identifies the attributes and benefits of a data and metrics-driven management system focused on the process safety design integrity, reliability, and control of process plant flares and pressure relief systems. ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)At The University of Queensland’s (UQ) School of Chemical Engineering we are developing and delivering courses about operational risk concepts and practices for undergraduate engineers with a view to preparing them for ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)The LNG standard published by the Canadian Standards Association, CSA Z276, Liquefied natural gas (LNG) — Production, storage, and handling was last published in 2015. This standard is primarily adopted by Canadian provinces ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2002)Despite the clarity of Process Safety Design concept, the current safety design seems to be done using heuristics and experiences of process designers and safety engineers. Because of this, the quality of safety design is ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)One of the most pressing challenges facing the offshore industry today is the effective interpretation, decision making, and action identification using the large volumes of operational data that are being collected and ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2001)There is no other way to get original data regarding chemical reaction but experimental study. What kind of experimental technique to use depends on the aim of a study. Nevertheless, there is one almost universal method ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)Successful implementation of the Functional Safety standards, IEC-61508 and IEC-61511 (or ANSI/ISA 84), begins with robust management planning. The Functional Safety Lifecycle includes activities at all stages of a process ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 1999)The behavior of polymers and oligomers subjected to elevated temperatures in an air-free environment was recently studied to characterize the energetics of polymer/oligomer decomposition. This work, which focused exclusively ...
