QRA Considering Multi-Vessel Failure Scenarios due to a Natural Disaster – Lessons from Fukushima
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2015)
The Fukushima accident is the largest nuclear power plant accident caused by a natural disaster, which shut off the cooling system. In this accident, an initiating event from a single unit was propagated to other units at ...
Dust Explosion Characteristics of Cellulose Acetates with Different Degrees of Acetylation
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2015)
In this work, the relation between various degrees of acetylation (CAs) of Cellulose acetate (CA) to dust explosion characteristics as minimum explosible concentration (MEC) and minimum ignition energy (MIE) have been ...
Optimal Sectioning of Hydrocarbon Transport Pipeline by Volume Minimization, and Environmental and Social Vulnerability Assessment
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2015)
Sectioning is one of the key mitigation strategies in pipeline transport of liquid hydrocarbons. The valves located along pipelines reduce the maximum volume that may be spilled, decreasing economic, social and environmental ...
Successful Demonstration of Relieving CO2-Solid-Forming Streams through a Pressure Relief System
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2015)
The demand for natural gas, considered the cleanest burning hydrocarbon fuel available, is expected to rise significantly over the foreseeable future. However, natural gas produced from many major reservoirs can contain ...
Explosion Loading on Equipment from CFD Simulations
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2015)
Explosion studies using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are performed on daily basis among safety consultants all over the world. The purpose of the explosion studies is usually to give guidance on required design ...
Successful Scale-up via Simulation of Production Vessels under Lab Conditions
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2015)
Understanding and minimizing the thermal risks of chemical processes is a critical part of sustainable process development and scale-up. Sophisticated and dedicated analytical instrumentation, for instance reaction calorimetry ...

(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
Process safety, occupational health, and environmental issues are ever increasing in importance in response to heightening public concerns and the resultant tightening of regulations. The process industries are addressing ...
Toxicological Issues in the Chemical Processing Industry
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
The chemical processing industry has been a leader in addressing the toxicological effects of their chemical products and by-products. The science of toxicology, however, is advancing rapidly, and new issues are being ...
Behavioral Safety Implementation
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
Many companies are developing Behavioral Safety Process to improve safety. In 1995, the Montell Jackson plant designed and implemented a behavioral Safety Process using the expertise of Terry McSween and Quality Safety ...
Inherent Safety, Health and Environmental (SHE) Reviews
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
How can an organization institutionalize the inherent safety process? To help accomplish this objective Exxon Chemical has developed an Inherent Safety, Health & Environmental (SHE) Review process to be carried out at ...
