Enhancing PHAs: The Power of Bowties
Process hazard analysis (PHA) is a key component of process safety management (PSM). This article presents a technique that incorporates the visual approach of the bowtie model into hazard and operability (HAZOP) analysis.
Back to Basics
The Essentials of Reverse Osmosis
Reverse osmosis (RO) is used throughout the chemical process industries (CPI). Review the basics to understand best practices for troubleshooting, monitoring, and cleaning.
Fluids and Solids Handling
Understand the Risks of Composite Intermediate Bulk Containers
Although composite intermediate bulk containers (CIBCs) provide ease of storage and transport, they pose a unique fire hazard that is often overlooked.
Computational Methods
Optimize Plant Water Use from Your Desk
Water pinch analysis and mathematical programming can be carried out using only a spreadsheet to determine the optimal water system for your plant. Examples, including a shale gas to ethylene process, illustrate the concept.
