1. What-If Analysis
• Unstructured method for considering results of unexpected events
• Uses questions beginning with "what-if“• Not concerned with "how" failures occur• Purpose is to identify problems that could
lead to accidents• Results in a list of potential problem areas
and suggested mitigation methods
![Page 7: 1 Chemical Process Safety Read Chapter 24: Turton’s Design Book (Crowl & Louvar) Chapter 11: Hazard Identification Chapter 12: Risk Assessment Guidelines](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649cb75503460f9497d58c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

What-If Example

What if:
(a) Water flow is stopped?(b) LNG flow is stopped?(c) Natural gas temperature is too low?(d) Water flow is too low?(e) Water pressure is too high?(f) A tube leaks into the shell?(g) Inlet water temperature is too low?

gas temperature too low.
Automatic interlock to
stop LNG flow if water
flow is stopped.
LNG flow is stopped? Not Hazardous None
Natural gas temperature is
Downstream piping may become embrittled.
Monitor gas temperature; low temperature alarm.
Water flow is too low? Natural gas temperature
may be too low; water may
freeze in tubes.

6. Hazards Surveys
Can be simple like inventory of hazardous chemicals
More rigorous procedures:
- Dow Fire & Explosion Index
- Dow Chemical Exposure Index
![Page 10: 1 Chemical Process Safety Read Chapter 24: Turton’s Design Book (Crowl & Louvar) Chapter 11: Hazard Identification Chapter 12: Risk Assessment Guidelines](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649cb75503460f9497d58c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

6. Hazards Surveys: Dow Fire & Explosion Index
• Complex and detailed procedure carried out by an individual• Rates relative hazards of storing, handling, processing flammable and explosive materials• Systematic approach independent of judgmental factors
• Break the process down into units or sections, e.g. the reactor, storage tank or a pump
• Use experience to select the units or sections that have the highest likelihood of a significant hazard (too many to cover all); may use checklist approach to choose
• Define the material factor (what chemicals are being used); in general, higher the value the more flammable / explosive
• Adjust this with various penalties based on conditions such as storage above normal boiling point, exothermic reaction, etc
• Then take credits for safety procedures and safety systems• Finally arrive at a number that rates the hazard; compare with table /
experience

7. Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) Study
HAZOP is a Structured "What If" Type of Study• Objectives
- Identify Hazards
- Identify Operability Problems• HAZOPs Use Team Approach• Multi-Disciplinary• Guide word based• Structured and Systematic
![Page 14: 1 Chemical Process Safety Read Chapter 24: Turton’s Design Book (Crowl & Louvar) Chapter 11: Hazard Identification Chapter 12: Risk Assessment Guidelines](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649cb75503460f9497d58c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Hazards and Operability Study
Investigative Process• Select study nodes
– Major process vessels– Major process lines connected to process vessels– Pumps and compressors– Heat exchangers– Major support systems
• Pick a process parameter
- Flow, level, temperature, pressure, volume, pH, concentration, agitation, etc
![Page 15: 1 Chemical Process Safety Read Chapter 24: Turton’s Design Book (Crowl & Louvar) Chapter 11: Hazard Identification Chapter 12: Risk Assessment Guidelines](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649cb75503460f9497d58c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Hazards and Operability Study
Investigative Process (Cont’d)
• Apply guide words to process parameters– Determine deviation from design– Determine consequences of deviations– Evaluate consequences
• Typical causes of deviations– Hardware failures– Human error– Outside forces– Unanticipated process state
![Page 16: 1 Chemical Process Safety Read Chapter 24: Turton’s Design Book (Crowl & Louvar) Chapter 11: Hazard Identification Chapter 12: Risk Assessment Guidelines](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649cb75503460f9497d58c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Hazards and Operability Study
Investigative Process (Cont’d)• Suggested actions
– Change in design– Change in equipment– Alter operating procedures– Improve maintenance– Investigate further
• HAZOP Follow-up– Assign responsibility for carrying out recommendations with
agreed timetable– Refer recommendations to appropriate managers– Evaluate and review
• Record keeping– Copy of all data used– Copy of all working papers– HAZOP worksheets
![Page 17: 1 Chemical Process Safety Read Chapter 24: Turton’s Design Book (Crowl & Louvar) Chapter 11: Hazard Identification Chapter 12: Risk Assessment Guidelines](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649cb75503460f9497d58c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Guide Words and Their Meanings
Simple words or phrases used to qualify the intention and associated
parameters in order to discover deviations.Guide Words & Symbols
Application to Input Material Application to Desired Activity Further Applications
Design Intent The intended material including quantity, chemical composition and input physical condition.
The intended activity. May be one major and one or more dependent minor activities.
Further intentions, e.g., sources or destination.
NO The intended material is not present but no substitute material present.
The intended activity does not occur but no direct substitute activity takes place.
MORE A greater quantity of material than intended, e.g., "Higher Pressure".
A greater activity than intended, e.g., flow rate, pressure rise, heat input, chemical reaction, duration of activity etc.
LESS A lesser quantity of material than intended, e.g., weight or volume. Lower physical condition, e.g., "Lower Pressure".
A lesser activity than intended, e.g., flow rate, pressure rise, heat input, chemical reaction, duration of activity etc.

HAZOP Example
• Chemistry is such that concentrations of B must not exceed that of A
• First Study Node - pipeline from suction side of pump that delivers A to the reaction vessel
• First Guide Word - No to design intent of transfer A • Causes of Deviation
– Supply tank is empty – Pumps fail to run – Pipeline is fractured – Isolation valve is closed
• Consequences – Excess of B over A could lead to an explosion
• Recommendation – Install interlock device on pump B into reactor
