Unit IV
SAFETY IN THE OPERATION OF CHEMICAL PROCESS PLANTS Properties of chemicals – Material Safety Data Sheets – the various properties and formats used -methods available for property determination. Operational activities and hazards -standards operating procedures – safe operation of pumps, compressors, heaters, column, reactors, pressure vessels, storage vessels, piping systems – effects of pressure, temperature, Flow rate and humidity on operations – corrosion and control measures- condition monitoring – control valves -safety valves – pressure reducing valves, drains, bypass valves, inert gases. Chemical splashes, eye irrigation and automatic showers.
Unit V
SAFETY AND ANALYSIS Safety vs reliability- quantification of basic events, system safety quantification, Human error analysis, Accident investigation and analysis, OSHAS 18001 and OSHMS.
