Modelling Ice and Wax Formation in a Pipeline in the Arctic Environment
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2019)
In the Arctic environment, fluid temperature in pipeline can drop below the freezing point of water, which causes wax and ice to form on pipeline surface. Solid formation on pipeline surface can lead to flow assurance and ...
Study of FSRU-LNGC System Based on a Quantitative Multi-cluster Risk Informed Model
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2019)
The offshore LNG terminal, referred to as LNG floating storage unit or floating storage and re- gasification unit (FSRU), performs well on both building process and operation process. The LNG FSRU is a cost-effective and ...
Biocompatible Herder for Rapid Oil Spill Treatment over a Wide Temperature Range
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2019)
Oil spills caused by damaged oil rigs, ruptured pipelines, and tankers can have immediate and long-term detrimental effects on marine systems and aquatic life. Herein we further develop the merit of an oil spill recovery ...
On Model-Based Systems Engineering for Design, Management, and Governance of Protective Systems
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2019)
Protective systems failure can be catastrophic, and originates in management failure. These systems rely on a document-based approach, which involves handling disjointed artifacts that are expensive to maintain and may ...
Safety-centered process control design based on dynamic safe set
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2019)
Despite significant efforts to make operation of chemical plants safer, the occurrence of incidents clearly indicates the need for better design approaches. Studies to identify the root causes of incidents in hydrocarbon ...
