In this newsletter, Georges Melhem, Ph.D., FAIChE, presents the modeling of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) pool fires. Would an LNG tanker accident cause the release of all five tanks of LNG content? Common sense, factual data, and scientific evidence challenge a myth.
In this newsletter, Georges Melhem, Ph.D., FAIChE, will share Process Safety Management strategies, technologies, and design procedures for quench vessels.
In this newsletter, Georges Melhem, Ph.D., FAIChE, and Neil Prophet discuss the major hazards for refineries as well as the seven steps to identifying hazard scenarios.
Fire exposure scenarios leading to overpressure are particularly challenging, especially where a reclosing pressure relief device provides the only means of protection. In this newsletter, Georges Melhem, Ph.D., FAIChE, shares a dynamic modeling case study of a process vessel exposed to a hydrocarbon fire.
In this newsletter, Dianne Coon, CSP, and Jian Lan discuss a fire and subsequent explosion that occurred in 2018 at a refining company in Superior, Wisconsin.
In this newsletter, Georges Melhem, Ph.D., FAIChE, and James Close, CEng, MIChemE, use SuperChems® Expert software to model the runaway reaction scenario and to examine the impact of the inhibitor on the thermal stability of butyl acrylate.
Read this newsletter for a look at the scenarios that can lead to runaway reactions in multipurpose equipment. Included are the key components of an optimal Technology Transfer Package (TTP).
A comprehensive risk management program must address both individual and societal risk. Read this newsletter for a comparison of two methods for evaluating risk tolerability criteria: qualitative and quantitative approaches.
The lessons learned from the 2005 Texas City refinery incident crystallize the importance of a sound process safety competency. Read this newsletter for guidance on what constitutes optimal individual and organizational process safety competency.
