Abstract

HAZOP is the most commonly used process hazard analysis tool in industry, a systematic yet tedious and time consuming method. The aim of this study is to explore the feasibility of process dynamic simulations to facilitate the HAZOP studies.
We propose a simulation-based methodology to complement the conventional HAZOP procedure. The method systematically generates failure scenarios by considering process equipment deviations with pre-defined failure modes. The effect of failure scenarios is then evaluated using dynamic simulations -in this study the K-Spice® software used. The consequences of each failure scenario are summarized using a sensitivity measure, which forms the basis for ranking the significance of failure scenarios. The ranking then reveals the most critical process parameters as well as equipment in a system. The methodology is successfully highlighted using part of gasreinjection process model as case study.
