Introduction to Hazardous Evaluation Techniques • Guidelines for Hazardous Evaluation Procedures (1992 by AIChE). • Second Edition with Worked Examples. • Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS). • American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).
HAZOP • HAZOP was developed by Lawley (1974) of ICI. Based on early account by Elliott & Owen (1968). • Hazop studies are carried out by an experienced, multidisciplanary team. • Review all physicalaspects of a process (lines, equipment, instrumentation) to discover potential hazards.
Basis for HAZOP • The basis for a HAZOP is a critical examination of information found in a word model. • It includes a flowsheet, a plant layout, equipment specification or a P&ID, (Piping and Instrument Drawing).
Other Pitfalls • Inexperienced HAZOP team. • Inadequately trained or in-experienced leader.
CommonHazopMistakes • Failing to establish a "safe" environment for team members. • Consequences of events not carried to conclusion. • Taking unwarranted credit for safeguards. • Too little credit given for safeguards.
Hazop Mistakes Cont’d • Failure to make recommendations as specific as possible. • Poor record keeping of HAZOPS. • Failure to HAZOP start-up and shut-down procedures. • P&IDs not up-dated or poorly constructed.
Hazop Mistakes Cont’d • A HAZOP is performed in lieu of properly executed design reviews. • Wrong technique for system being reviewed (See spreadsheet titled Fig 5.3).
