The hazards and operability (HAZOP) study is a formal procedure to identify hazards in

a chemical process facility. Outline the procedures of HAZOP in order to prevent


accidents in the chemical process plant.

A heat exchanger is used to heat flammable, volatile solvent, as shown in FIGURE Q1.
The temperature of the outlet stream is measured by a thermocouple, and a controller
valve manipulates the amount of steam to the heat exchanger to achieve the desired set
point temperature. Construct a HAZOP study on the intention of “flow of hot solvent from
heat exchanger” using guidewords NO, LESS, MORE, AS WELL AS and REVERSE.
Propose only TWO (2) possible causes, consequences and actions for each of the
guidewords.
