Inherent Safety can be understood as the absence or reduction of hazards (which implies lower risk) rather than low risk reached by add-on protective barriers. While the methodologies for risk analysis are well developed ...

Evaluation of thermal stability and runaway behavior of any exothermic chemical reaction is of great importance to the design and operation of a chemical process. The evaluation process should be based on a thorough ...

In this paper, a methodology is proposed to combine process safety performance measurements techniques, decision-making strategies, applications of private and generic databases, reliability calculations, and benchmarking ...
