    • A Comprehensive Approach to API RP 752 and 753 Building Siting Studies 
      Marx, Jeffrey D.; Ishii, Benjamin R. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)
      Facility siting studies are an important part of process safety, and are required for facilities that fall under OSHA’s PSM program. Facility siting is frequently interpreted as performing a building siting study which ...
    • Evaluating the Transient Radiant Heat Flux Impacts to Occupied Buildings 
      Marx, Jeffery D.; Ishii, Benjamin R.; Wesevich, James W.; Gomez, Matthew; Staszak, Andrew (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)
      Traditional methods of evaluating radiant heat impacts on occupied buildings typically rely on a threshold radiant heat flux value to evaluate occupant vulnerability. While this is acceptable within the methodology of fire ...
    • External Fire Impacts on the Interior Temperature of a Building 
      Ishii, Benjamin R.; Jimenez, Christian (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)
      Facility siting studies are an important part of process safety, and are required for facilities that fall under OSHA’s PSM program. Facility siting is frequently interpreted as performing a building siting study which ...
    • The Importance of Multiphase and Multicomponent Modeling in Consequence and Risk Analysis 
      Johnson, David W.; Marx, Jeffery D. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2002)
      The ability to accurately predict the consequences of a hazardous fluid release is dependent on three things: the knowledge of the modeler, the quality of the model that is used, and the quality of the input parameters. ...
    • Magnitude of Hazards Associated with the Rail Transport of Crude Oil and LPG 
      Cornwell, John B.; Ishii, Benjamin R. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)
      Over the past several years, the volume of crude oil being transported by rail has dramatically increased. With this increase, the number of train accidents involving crude oil rail cars has also increased. A common ...
    • A New Look at Release Event Frequencies 
      Ishii, Benjamin R.; Marx, Jeffrey D. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)
      Within the context of a quantitative risk analysis (QRA), the two main constituents used to describe petrochemical risks are, and have always been, consequence and probability. The consequences of hazardous material accidents ...
    • Quantitative Risk Calculations for a U.S. DOT Natural Gas Pipeline Using Population Classifications 
      Cornwell, John B.; Ishii, Benjamin R. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)
      Over the past several years, Quest Consultants Inc. has conducted quantitative risk analysis (QRA) and risk assessment studies for a range of pipelines in the United States and abroad. In most instances, the risk acceptance ...
    • Report on the PHMSA LNG Regulation Workshop 
      Marx, Jeffrey; Holiday, Julie (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)
      In May 2016, the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) held a two day public workshop to solicit input and obtain background information for the formulation of ...
    • What API RP 752 Does Not Tell You – But People Will Ask 
      Cornwell, John B.; Ishii, Benjamin R. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)
      Over the past several years, Quest Consultants Inc. has conducted building siting studies per API RP 752 for a range of facilities in the United States and abroad. This paper summarizes several of the issues encountered ...
