HAZOP Analysis | Hazards and Operability Review

INTRODUCTION OF HAZOP:

HAZOP is an analysis method that was developed for use with new processes JO the chemical industry. Its strength is that it's hello problems to be identified even before a body of experience has been developed for a given process/system. Thoughts originally intended for use with new processes it need not to be limited to new operations.

HAZOPs works very well with odd process/systems. HAZOP consist of farming 18 of experience knowledgeable people from a variety of background relating to the process/system. The team members brainstorm about potential hazards. The health and safety professional should chair the team and serve as a facilitator. The chairman role is to draw out and record the ideas of team members; make sure that one member does not dominate for intermediate other members; Anchorage maximum participations from all members; assist members in combining ideas where appropriate to form better ideas.

Hazards and Operability Reviews ( HAZOP ):

A HAZOP proceeds in a step-by-step manners. These states are summarised as follow:

  • Select the process system to be analysed.
  • Form the team of experts.
  • Explain the h a z o p process to all team members.
  • Establish goals and time frames.
  • Conduct brainstorming sessions.
  • Summarize all inputs.
An example of a form that can be used to help organise and focus and brainstroming sessions. 1 can also be used for summarising the results of the brainstorming sessions. This particular exam for involves a plastic mixing process.
Only one component in the process flow gate number 1 has been analysed. Eat the floor Gate does not work as intended, there will be no flow, Too little flow, or too much flow. Each condition will result in a specific problem. Action necessary to correct each situation has been recommended. Every critical point, sometimes referred to as a node, in the process would be analysed in a similar manner.
HAZOPs have the same thickness as FMEAs: They predict problems associated wind systems/process failures. However, these are technological failures. HAZOPs do not factor human error into the equation. Saints human error is Show after a factor in accidents this is a weakness that must be dealt with. The next section sets forth guideline for analysing human error.

Human Error Analysis ( HEA )Techniques:

HEA, as described in the contacts this chapters used to predict human errors and not as an after the fact process. Alphabets the records of past accidents can be studied for to identify Trends that can, in turn, be used to predict accidents. This should be done as part of an accident investigation. HEA should be used to identify hazardous before they cause accidents.
Two approaches to HEA can be affective: (i) observing employees at work and noting hazards ( the task analysis approach); (ii) actually performing job tasks to get a first-hand feel for hazards. Regardless of how the HEA is conducted, it's a good idea to perform it in conjunction with FMEAs and HAZOPs. This will enhance the effectiveness of FMEAs, HAZOPs and HEAs.

(NRV) Non-Return Valves | Check Valves - Symbol, Types and Importance

(NRV) Non Return Valve A Non- Return Valves , check valve , clack valve, non- return valves , reflux valve, retention valve or one-way valve is a  valve that normally allows  fluid  ( liquid or gas ) to flow through it in one direction only.    Non  - Return valve/ Check valve are two-port valves, meaning that they have two openings in the body, one to enter the  fluid and the other to release the liquid. Types of (NRV) Non - Return Valves There are various types of check valves/non-return valve used in a wide variety of applications.  Non- return valves are often part of common household items.   Although they are available in a wide range of sizes and costs, Non - Return valve are generally very small, simple or inexpensive. Non - Return valve operate automatically and most are not controlled by an individual or any external control;  Accordingly, most have no valve handle or stem. The bodies (outer shells...

(RFRL) Rainforced Rubber Line - EngineeriSafety

(RFRL)  Rainforced Rubber Line    RFRL Rainforced Rubber Line -   Reinforced rubber  products are the largest group of composite materials , though they are rarely referred to as composite materials.  Examples familiar are automobile tyres , hoses and conveyor belts . Composite Rainforced Structure   Reinforced rubber  products combine a  rubber matrix and a reinforced material, so that the strength of elasticity to high strength is achieved.  Reinforcing material, usually a type of fibre , provides strength and stiffness.  The rubber matrix, with reduced strength and stiffness, provides air-liquid tightness and supports refreshing materials to maintain their respective positions.  These positions are important because they in turn affect the mechanical properties.      A composite structure where all fibers are everywhere loaded at the same pressure is called an isotropic structure, and the type of ...

What are the Methods of Extinguishing Fire | Methods of Extinction and prevention

Method of Extension and Prevention: Fire depends upon a reaction between two substance and continuous because of self generated heat. There are four ways of Extinguishing fire i.e., by cooling the fuel below its ignition temperature. By cutting  off the oxygen, by cutting off the supply of fuel or by prohibiting the formation of chain carriers. This is achieved by  -  Taking away the heat faster heat it is generated. Separating the substance apart. Cooling the combustible material and its surrounding to a temperature search that fire die for want to heat. Smoothing the fire by preventing air from reaching eat or by diluting air with some inert gas ( smothering ). Starving the fire by removing combustible material fuel supply. What are the Methods of Fire Extinguishing: COOLING METHOD: Extinction by cooling is achieve, when the rate of heat generated is less than the rate the heat remove, hence the fire die water is...
