Process Safeguards and Risk Analysis for Offshore Proccessing
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2000)
Process safeguards have been traditionally designed into petroleum processing systems. The confined and remote nature of offshore petroleum added special conditions to process safeguard requirements. Increased regulatory ...
COMPUTER AIDED FIRE SAFETY SYSTEMS IN CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2000)
Handling a Crisis Situation Through Media Training
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2001)
When an abnormal situation occurs at your facility, management must be prepared, not only to handle the situation itself, but also to effectively communicate with stakeholders. The media is very important vehicle for this ...
Web Enabled – Real Time Business and Process Analysis to Increase Productivity in Industrial Plants.
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
Intelligent systems (IS) technologies have received much attention in a wide range of process engineering applications including process operations. Due to the rapid change applying the latest technologies has become a ...
Evaluating Safety Instrumented System Needs Using Process Hazard Analysis Data
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2001)
Determining Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) needs is the first step of a long process of complying and maintaining compliance with national and international standards. How a company goes about determining SIS needs can ...
FURTHER CALORIMETRIC EVALUATION OF POLYMER/OLIGOMER DECOMPOSITION: APTAC TESTING
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
The behavior of polymers and oligomers subjected to elevated temperatures in an air-free environment was recently studied to characterize the energetics of polymer/oligomer decomposition. This work, which focused exclusively ...
Economical Mitigation of Explosion Hazards for Plant Siting
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2001)
The overpressure, impulse and ultimate damage resulting from a vapor cloud explosion are primarily a function of flame speed, flammable mass, and the distance to the target. Flame speed is determined by the inherent burning ...
Reactivity of Unsaturated Hydrocarbons Via Adiabatic Calorimetry
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2000)
Selected olefins, diolefins, and alkynes have been examined via adiabatic calorimetry to understand the behavior of these species as a function of temperature. APTAC (Automatic Pressure Tracking Adiabatic Calorimeter) and ...
Application of Ab initio Principles for Prediction of Chemical Reactivity
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2000)
To simulate the behavior of a chemical reaction or unit operation, thermodynamic, kinetic or mechanistic information is necessary. Such data are usually obtained from direct experimental measurements, empirical correlations, ...
Chemical Process Safety: Learning from Case Histories
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
