Reaction mechanism of cumene hydroperoxide decomposition in cumene and evaluation of its reactivity hazards
(2009-05-15)
Cumene hydroperoxide (CHP), a type of organic peroxide, is widely used in the chemical industry for diverse applications. However, it decomposes and undergoes highly exothermic runaway reactions under high temperature ...
Bayesian-lopa methodology for risk assessment of an LNG importation terminal
(2009-05-15)
LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) is one of the fastest growing energy sources in the
U.S. to fulfill the increasing energy demands. In order to meet the LNG demand, many
LNG facilities including LNG importation terminals are ...
Experimental measurements and modeling prediction of flammability limits of binary hydrocarbon mixtures
(2009-05-15)
Flammability limit is a significant safety issue for industrial processes. A certain
amount of flammability limit data for pure hydrocarbons are available in the literature,
but for industrial applications, there are ...
Engineering for sustainable development for bio-diesel production
(2009-05-15)
Engineering for Sustainable Development (ESD) is an integrated systems approach,
which aims at developing a balance between the requirements of the current stakeholders
without compromising the ability of the future ...
Effect of availability on multi-period planning of subsea oil and gas production systems
(2009-05-15)
Natural gas and petroleum are non-renewable and scarce energy sources.
Although, it is well known that hydrocarbon reserves are depleting through the years, oil
and gas remain the principal source of energy upon which our ...
Layer of protection analysis applied to ammonia refrigeration systems
(2009-05-15)
Ammonia refrigeration systems are widely used in industry. Demand of these
systems is expected to increase due to the advantages of ammonia as refrigerant and
because ammonia is considered a green refrigerant. Therefore, ...
Reactivity of ethylene oxide in contact with contaminants
(2009-05-15)
Ethylene oxide (EO) is a very versatile compound with considerable energy in its ring
structure. Its reactions proceed mainly via ring opening and are highly exothermic.
Under some conditions, it is known to undergo a ...
