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, ...
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 ...
Evaluation of Styrene-Acrylonitrile Copolymerization Thermal Stability and Runaway Behavior
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
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 ...
Use of Failure Rate Databases and Process Safety Performance Measurements to Improve Process Safety
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
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 ...
