Case Study of Relief Analysis of Compressor Stations
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
A compressor station is a facility which helps the transportation process of natural gas from one location to another. Compressor stations include several key component parts, the primary being the actual compressor unit, ...
SHOCKWAVE ARRESTED
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2017)
Dynamic Air Shelters’ newest model completely defeats the shock wave, eliminating the transmission of shock into the interior space. This first ever innovation results in more safe habitat, the ability to protect equipment ...
Utilizing Scenario-based Risk Assessment Methodology to Support Operations Teams during Abnormal Events
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
In today’s world, organizations are constantly being challenged by the fast changing economic environment in which the need to remain competitive is the key to ultimate survival. In the downstream oil sector, these challenges ...
Improving Prevention and Mitigation Efforts Related to Accidental Releases of LNG
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a rapidly growing industry, both in terms of the increase in export terminals, as well as the growing number of regasification plants required to put natural gas back into pipelines. In the ...
High Pressure Relief Systems in LNG Receiving Terminals – A Safety Case for HP Flare
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
Worldwide demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) has been steadily increasing, leading to the design and construction of larger receiving terminals in recent years. While the safety record of the LNG industry has been good, ...
Learnings from Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center (MKOPSC) Instrument Reliability Network’s Project on Pressure Transmitter Maintenance Data Collection
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
This paper presents the results of the first phase of the pressure transmitter reliability data project executed by the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center’s (MKOPSC) Instrument Reliability Network (IRN). The quality ...
Process Safety-Equations of State
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
By convention, chemical engineering requires us to develop a set of empirical equations that predict the transformation of one state into another. Process Safety generally lacks that discipline and as a consequence is ...
Experimental investigation of blast wave propagation in an urban environment
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
Lab-scale experimental investigations on blast wave propagation in a complex environment are proposed in this paper. Studies of blast propagation are described in the literature, but only a few studies at lab-scale were ...
Zero Based Maintenance Program
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
Normalizing Deviance: 30 Years After the Challenger Explosion
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
