The Reactivity of Ethylene Oxide In Contact With Iron Oxide Fines as Measured by Adiabatic Calorimetry
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
Samples of various iron oxides suspended above ethylene oxide in an adiabatic calorimeter exhibit exothermic activity at temperatures as low as room temperature. A 7-Fe203 sample was found to show the highest reactivity ...
3M QUANTITATIVE PROCESS RISK SCREENING TOOL
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
The 3M Quantitative Process Risk Screening Tool (QPRS Tool) has been developed as a means of assisting 3M facilities globally in evaluating and managing the risks associated with processes that use or store hazardous ...
Prevention and Suppression of Metal Packing Fires
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
Structured packing has been widely used because of large surface area that makes possible columns with high capacity and efficiency. The large surface area also contributes to fire hazards because of hydrocarbon deposits ...
Inherent Safety of Dikes Against Catastrophic Failure of Storage Tanks
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
It is industry practice to provide passive containment (dikes) of storage tank equivalent to 110% of the capacity of the tank. This standard is sufficient for containment of small to moderate leaks. However, it is generally ...
Chemical Plant Security: National Security for the Chemical Industry
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
Probabilistic Fault Tree Analysis
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
Some Thoughts on Measuring Inherent Safety
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
Inherently Safer Design (ISD) concepts have been with us for over two decades since their elaboration by Trevor Kletz [ 1 ]. Interest has really taken off globally since the early nineties after several major mishaps ...
Fitting Safety In Project Engineering
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
EFFECT OF THE LIFE CYCLE MODEL ON A CAPITAL PROJECT
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
ANSI/ISA-S84.01 and IEC-61511 include a Life Cycle Model, calling for establishing SIL levels between the HAZOP and the detail design. The benefits of this Life Cycle Model to the user are not stated in either standard. ...
Inherent Safety Index For Transportation Of Chemicals
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
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 ...
