Flixborough Incident
The Flixborough plant had been in operation since the year 1967.
It was operated by Nypro (a joint venture between Dutch State
Mines and the British National Coal Board). It produced
caprolactam, which is in turn used to manufacture nylon. The
process used six large pressurized reactors containing
cyclohexane. (Cyclohexane is comparable to gasoline; it is a
liquid at ambient conditions, but vaporizes easily and release
about the same amount of energy as gasoline when ignited.)
Prior to the Event
In March 1974 a vertical crack had appeared in Reactor #5. It was
decided to remove this reactor and to install a bypass between Reactors 4
and 6. This bypass failed due to lateral stresses in the pipe, probably
during a pressure surge. The bypass had been designed by
engineers who were not experienced in high-pressure pipework,
no plans or calculations had been produced, the pipe was not
pressure-tested, and was mounted on temporary scaffolding
poles that allowed the pipe to twist under pressure. Moreover, the
by-pass pipe was a smaller diameter (20") than the reactor flanges (24")
18
so, in order to align the flanges, short sections of steel bellows were

Flixborough Incident
The Event Itself
During the late afternoon on 1st June, 1974 the 20 inch bypass
system ruptured. This may have been caused by a fire at a
nearby 8 inch pipe. The rupture resulted in the release of a
large (about 40 tons) cyclohexane to the atmosphere. The
cyclohexane/air mixture and subsequently found a source of
ignition. It caused a massive explosion.
All eighteen persons in the control room died as a result of the
windows shattering and the collapse of the roof.

Platforms recommends a minimum testing
frequency of once per year.
The testing frequency varies from one
company to another from quarterly to annually.

PROCESS HAZARD
ANALYSIS
67
PHA Requirements
Use one or more established
methodologies appropriate to the
complexity of the process
Performed by a team with expertise in
engineering and process operations
Includes personnel with experience
and knowledge specific to the process
being evaluated and the hazard
analysis methodology being used
69/49
70/49
72/49
What-If
Experienced personnel
brainstorming a series of
questions that begin, "What if?
Each question represents a
potential failure in the facility or
misoperation of the facility
73/49
What-If
The response of the process and/or
operators is evaluated to
determine if a potential hazard can
occur
If so, the adequacy of existing
safeguards is weighed against the
probability and severity of the
scenario to determine whether
modifications to the system should
be recommended
74/49
What-If Steps
1. Divide the system up into
smaller, logical subsystems
2. Identify a list of questions for a
subsystem
3. Select a question
4. Identify hazards, consequences,
severity, likelihood, and
recommendations
5. Repeat Step 2 through 4 until
complete
75/49
76/49
What-If Summary
Perhaps the most commonly used
method
One of the least structured methods
Can be used in a wide range of
circumstances
Success highly dependent on
experience of the analysts
Useful at any stage in the facility
life cycle
Useful when focusing on change
77/49
Checklist
Consists of using a detailed list of
prepared questions about the design
and operation of the facility
Questions are usually answered Yes
or No
Used to identify common hazards
through compliance with established
practices and standards

Checklist Summary
The simplest of hazard analyses
Easy-to-use; level of detail is
adjustable
Provides quick results;
communicates information well
Effective way to account for
lessons learned
NOT helpful in identifying new or
unrecognized hazards
Limited to the expertise of its
author(s)

What-If/Checklist
A hybrid of the What-If and Checklist
methodologies
Combines the brainstorming of What-If
method with the structured features of
Checklist method
83/49
What-If/Checklist Steps
Begin by answering a series of
previously-prepared What-if
questions
During the exercise, brainstorming
produces additional questions to
complete the analysis of the process
under study
84/49
What-If/Checklist Summary
Encourages creative thinking (What-If) while
providing structure (Checklist)
In theory, weaknesses of stand-alone methods
are eliminated and strengths preserved not
easy to do in practice
E.g.: when presented with a checklist, it is
typical human behavior to suspend creative
thinking
85/49
HAZOP
Hazard and Operability Analysis:
Identify hazards (safety, health,
environmental), and
Problems which prevent efficient
operation

Summary
Despite the aforementioned issues with PHA:
Companies that rigorously exercise PHA are
seeing a continuing reduction is frequency
and severity of industrial accidents
Process Hazard Analysis will continue to
play an integral role in the design and
continued examination of industrial processes
