Research Needs for Process Safety Technology
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
Much process safety technology has been developed through the years and now serves as the basis for present-day design standards for process safety in the process industries. This has come about through carefully executed ...
The Next Generation of Hazard Assessment Protocols
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
The process industries have been using the hazard and operability (HAZOP) study and design specification checklist methods to analyze processes for several years. Both can be utilized to provide adequate safety analysis ...
Beyond Regulatory Compliance, Making Safety Second Nature-I 999 Development and Application of Accident History Databases Session
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
Even though chemical process accidents do not have the same severity, they are usually reported without a (semi) quantitative indication of severity. Sometimes attempts are made to identify those accidents where significant ...
Safety Integrity Levels in Design
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
The hazards identified with a new or modified chemical or petroleum refining process can be mitigated in numerous ways. If a system cannot be designed so that it is inherently safe, then other safeguards such as instrumented ...
The API Methodology for risk-biased inspection (RBI) analysis for the petroleum and petrochemical industry.
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
Twenty-one petroleum and petrochemical companies are currently sponsoring a project to develop risk- based inspection (RBI) methodology for application in the refining and petrochemical industry. This paper describes that ...
An Application of Risk-based Design Criteria: HF Alkylation Rapid Acid Deinventory System
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
A New Training Strategy: Design the Work Enviornent for Continuous Learning
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
Inherently Safer Design in Plant Layout and Facility Siting
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
Expert Systems in Emergency Response
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
Ensuring the proper response to emergencies is an ideal application for expert systems. Rules can be developed that comprise the appropriate response to either preplanned, site-specific incident scenarios or general incidents ...
Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center: Research Program, Current Activities, and Future Direction
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
The Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center was established to produce engineers and practitioners trained in process safety; to provide its members and others with the research base needed to compete successfully in the ...
