During a QRA, risk levels in a populated area near a refinery facility were found to be higher than risk acceptance limits for land-use planning purposes.

Read this newsletter by Marcel Amoros Marti and Neil Prophet for the 3 steps to accurately predict source term phenomena with advanced transient response analysis using SuperChems™ software:

  1. Identification of most contributing scenarios
  2. Key input data and “pseudo-vessel” approach
  3. Transient response analysis

Average Rate Of Death (ROD) was used for comparing the risk contribution not only of process units but also of pieces of equipment within the facility. ROD is a societal risk measurement tool (i.e., index) that estimates the average number of fatalities in the population from all potential scenarios.

Bonus!

This newsletter also includes access to an article by Georges Melhem, Ph.D., FAIChE, on the 5 advantages of Process Safety Office® SuperChems™ software for conducting a Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) including calculating risk for fixed facilities, pipelines, or transportation routes.

Have a great and safe day.
