Introduction to HAZOP

HAZOP
HAZard and OPerability Study
Premise - the process is safe if operated as
intended.
NOTE: THE HAZOP TEAM MUST
CONFIRM THAT THIS IS INDEED TRUE!
Accidents occur because of deviations from
intended operation.
=> Use
HAZOP!

the system under review.

HAZOP Procedure
Take a full description of the process and flow sheet.
Line by line HAZOP using guidewords.
Overall flow sheet HAZOP using guidewords.
Systematically question every part to discover how
deviations from design intent can occur.
The results are qualitative.
Consider items relating to plant operability and
safety.
Deviations
are
analyzed
to
determine
the
consequences of an event.
Unrealistic
trivial deviations are rejected; only
significant consequences are reviewed and remedies
recommended.
19
HAZOP Procedure
All modes of plant operation must be considered: i)
normal operation, ii) commissioning, iii) routine startup, iv) emergency shutdown, v) routine shutdown
plant.
The prime objective is to identify problems not to
redesign the plant. Recommend obvious solutions but
do not spend excessive time developing solutions.
Recommend follow-up investigations.
The most important factor is to be creative. Lateral
thinking is an important part of HAZOP technique.
Even if your point seems outrageous, still offer the
suggestion. It may stimulate further discussion.
(see Fig.: HAZOP procedure algorithm flow chart).

When to HAZOP?
Safety Review early in design-apply
inherent safety principles.
Full HAZOP as soon as P & IDs available.
Pre-commissioning review.
Every future change to process or
procedures.
Procedural HAZOP may be used for
construction.
