Applying PSM at a major US Chemical Company

Underground piping inside plant boundaries is frequently out-of-sight, out-of-mind. While there exists a wide body of knowledge, mature technology, and established techniques for inspection of cross-country underground pipelines, and even above-ground in-plant piping, the converse is true for...

BRASKEM within the production process developed a framework and Analysis of Impacts and Risk Management Process which seeks to ensure that the risk acceptability criteria are met and developed throughout the life cycle of projects and facilities, from conceptual design to work of construction or...

8th GCPS Introduction and Welcome: Trey Morrison (GCPS Chair) Scott Berger (Executive Director of CCPS) Symposia Introductions, Jatin Shah (CCPS Chair), Mike Moosemiller (LPS Chair), and Jim Willis (PPSS Chair) Presentation of William H. Doyle Award - LPS Best Paper Award and PPSS Best Paper Award

Flammability limits are one of the most important parameters to characterize material hazards. Currently, numerous methods or correlations, either stoichiometry or energy based, have been developed to evaluate flammability limits. In this work, a thermal theory is proposed to understand the dual...

Incidents involving uncontrolled chemical reactions continue to result in injuries, fatalities and economic loss and harm in industry. These incidents are often the result of not identifying or understanding the chemical reactivity hazards involved in storage, mixing or processing operations. The...
