Consequence Modeling

The American Petroleum Institute (API) developed Recommended Practice (RP) 753 to provide guidance for siting portable buildings in petrochemical processing plants. It identifies analysis methods for siting portable buildings and provides siting distance guidance for vapor cloud explosion hazards...

The first edition of the CCPS book Guidelines to Evaluating Vapor Cloud Explosions, Flash Fired and BLEVEs was published in 1994. Since that time there have been considerable advances in research for these types of explosions and fires, and hazard prediction methods have improved. The second...

LOPA, as a semi-quantitative analysis, often provides inconsistent results. This can be due to physical differences between units but often it is due to team's perceptual differences. Initiating event frequency evaluation using guidance tables is more consistent than consequence evaluation where...

Chlorinated hydrocarbons represent the precursors for products ranging from PVC and refrigerants to pharmaceuticals. Natural or manmade disruptions that affect the availability of these products nationally have the potential to affect a wide range of markets, from healthcare to construction. Sandia...

Polymer Foam Boards have been widely used for individual home and general building, from roofs and/or walls down to foundation, for example. On the other hand, these Boards have significant physical hazards, because flammable blowing agent has come to be used, replacing nonflammable CFC chemicals...

Reviews of process safety incidents and near misses provide valuable learning opportunities. Papers dealing with incidents, near misses, and the lessons learned are presented. Please Note : Case Histories and Lessons Learned -- Spring Meeting 2009 includes the following recorded presentations: ·...

Consequence modeling has evolved as a result of accident investigations, government regulations, and the maturation of process hazards analysis and quantitative risk assessment. This session provides examples of where the state-of-the-art currently is. Please Note : Consequence Modeling -- Spring...
