Process Safety Management - How does one


define it?
Process safety management is a
management process for identifying,
evaluating and controlling the hazards
associated with a process facility. It is
intended to:
i. Minimize the likelihood of a major hazard
accident occurring
ii. Ensure that the necessary emergency
preparedness mechanisms are in place and
in the event that an accident does happen

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.

Why Process Safety Management?

Management system failures are the root


causes of over 90% of incidents.
There should be an integrated approach to
chemical hazard control.
In the U.S., there are now fourteen (14)
integrated elements to process safety.
In NOC, there are eight elements in process
safety

What is a Safety Instrumented System


(SIS)?
An SIS is designed to:
Respond to conditions in the plant which may be hazardous
in themselves or,
If no action was taken, could eventually give rise to a
hazard, and
Respond to these conditions by taking defined actions that
either prevent the hazard or mitigate the hazard
consequences.

Input ---- Logic Solver ---- Output


No matter how sophisticated or how advance the
technology used in the SIS, if it is not properly operated
and maintained, it will not be able to protect any facility.

Fault Detection Designed In


Testing
Simulated process demand conditions are imposed on
the system to verify functionality & find any hidden
faults.
Provisions are made in the design to facilitate on-line
testing as much as possible.
If a fault is detected, repairs are made ASAP to restore
full protective functionality.
In cases where repairs cannot be readily accomplished,
alternate protection is placed in service or operations are
taken to a stable, safe state until the repairs can be made.

Testing Frequency
API RP 14C, Analysis, Design, Installation,

Systems for Offshore Production
Platforms recommends a minimum testing
frequency of once per year.
The testing frequency varies from one
company to another from quarterly to annually.
The testing frequency used to be based on
time but now the testing frequency is based on

Online Testing of Sensors


Having sensors designed as follows
will facilitate online testing:
i.

Redundancy The ability to tolerate


faults is enhanced by the use of multiple
components. This includes such things as
redundant sensors/logic solvers/output
devices.
ii. Multiple Sensors Multiple input devices
which can be used for voting/validity
checking/median value selection.
iii. Independent Technologies Use of
different sensor/ output types to avoid
common cause failure modes.
64/52

Maintenance of SIS to ensure the Integrity

Two common problems with


the sensor (instrument) are as
follows:
1. Drift (means a gradual change, in some
property of an instrument, which affects the
measurements made with that instrument)
the instrument will need to be re-calibrated
since the reading or measurement is no
longer accurate.
2. Damaged due to exposure to harsh

Online Testing of Final Element


The final elements could be a motor that
drives a pump or compressor or a
shutdown valve.
The most common problem for a valve
that it fails to close (shutdown valve
SDV) or open (blowdown valve BDV)
upon demand. In order to test the valve
without plant interruption, test can be
done either by:
Partial Stroke Test the valve will be partially
stroke by a computer for every certain period of
time, or
ii. Full Stroke Test can be done during plant
planned or unplanned shutdown

PROCESS HAZARD
ANALYSIS

Processwell Engineering Sdn Bhd

67

Process Hazard Analysis


Simply, PHA allows the employer to:
Determine locations of potential safety
problems
Identify corrective measures to improve
safety
Preplan emergency actions to be taken if
safety controls fail
68/49

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

PHA Must Address


The hazards of the process
Identification of previous incidents
with likely potential for catastrophic
consequences
Engineering and administrative
controls applicable to the hazards and
their interrelationships

70/49

PHA Must Address (contd)


Consequences of failure of
engineering and administrative
controls, especially those affecting
employees
Facility siting; human factors

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

What if a very hard freeze persists?

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

Loss of Containment Deviations

Pressure too high


Pressure too low (vacuum)
Temperature too high
Temperature too low
Deterioration of equipment

91/49

HAZOPs Inherent Assumptions


Hazards are detectable by careful review
Plants designed, built and run to appropriate
standards will not suffer catastrophic loss of
containment if ops stay within design
parameters
Hazards are controllable by a combination of
equipment, procedures which are Safety Critical
HAZOP conducted with openness and good faith
by competent parties

92/49

HAZOP Pros and Cons


Creative, open-ended
Completeness identifies all process
hazards
Rigorous, structured, yet versatile
Identifies safety and operability issues
Can be time-consuming (e.g., includes
operability)
Relies on having right people in the
room
Does not distinguish between low
probability, high consequence events
(and vice versa)
93/49

FMEA Failure Modes, Effects Analysis

Manual analysis to determine the


consequences of component, module or
subsystem failures

Bottom-up analysis

Consists of a spreadsheet where each


failure mode, possible causes, probability
of occurrence, consequences, and
proposed safeguards are noted.

96/49

FMEA Failure Modes, Effects Analysis


FMEA is a very structured and reliable method
for evaluating hardware and systems.
Easy to learn and apply and approach makes
evaluating even complex systems easy to do.
Can be very time-consuming (and expensive)
and does not readily identify areas of multiple
fault that could occur.
Not easily lent to procedural review as it may
not identify areas of human error in the process.

97/49

Accident Scenarios May Be Missed by PHA

No PHA method can identify all


accidents that could occur in a
process
A scenario may be excluded from the
scope of the analysis
The team may be unaware of a
scenario
