Ms. Shinkawa has over 12 years of experience managing and executing pressure relief and flare system design and analysis for large chemical and petrochemical companies in the United States. She is well-versed in the design and evaluation of pressure relief systems using Process Safety Office® SuperChems™ with reactive and non-reactive, batch, semi-batch, and continuous process considerations. Her capabilities include both steady state and dynamic system responses to overpressure events.
Experienced in process safety management (PSM), hazard identification techniques, quantitative risk assessment (QRA), and facility siting.
Performs pressure relief system evaluations and design projects of various processes, including chemical reactions and deflagration venting, for clients in the petrochemical and chemical industries.
Performs flare analysis including identification of global scenarios, hydraulic evaluation of flare header, consequence modeling (radiation, dispersion, noise), and development of mitigation options.
Conducted advanced dynamic simulations for PRFS design of reactive systems, including fire-induced thermal decomposition reactive cases and two-phase dynamic modeling.
Leads, scribes and assists in PHAs, LOPAs, What-Ifs, checklist analysis, and risk assessments (e.g. blast panels risk assessment) using various hazard identification techniques.
Conducted process safety management (PSM) and Risk Management Plan (RMP) audits for a major chemical facility.
Performed offsite consequence analysis using RMP*Comp software and MARPLOT® mapping application.
