Specialized Course on Process Safety Engineering :

PROCESS SAFETY IN UNIT OPERATIONS

P R O C E S S S A F E T Y I N U N I T O P E R AT I O N S

Process safety is a specific discipline within the organization of a company. The level and quality of process safety management determines the success of the organization. Delta Process Academy aims, with this 4-day Specialized Course on Process Safety in Unit Operations, to provide professionals with a process safety course offering the essentials of process safety engineering. The lectures are taught by specialists in their discipline. For each day a syllabus is provided by the organization and a certificate will be granted at completion of the course. Additionally for all the participants a text book “Guidelines for Engineering Design for Process Safety” is provided.

safety management determines

the success of an organization.

This course offers the essentials

of process safety engineering.

AT T E N D E E S

Professional engineers with industry experience for whom understanding and applying process safety thinking is an integral part of their jobs and who would benefit from an engineering view on process safety for deepening the expertise in their roles and for their career development (e.g. operations, engineering, maintenance, inspection, safety professionals…).

A I M S

Process Safety Engineering plays an important part during the lifecycle of a process plant. Not only are important preventive and mitigating measures defined during the project phase, also during operations changes are introduced; near misses and incidents will occur. This all requires a fundamental knowledge of process safety concepts.

The lectures will start with an introduction to the two most important process units within the chemical industry: batch reactors and distillation columns. Both will be presented in a generic way to indicate specific process safety features, generic for the process industry.

Special attention will be paid to other aspects such as P&ID and 3D model review. Also the impact of start-up and shutdown will be clarified during the course.

The practical approach of the above lectures is illustrated during two extended seminars: the basic principles for calculating a relief valve (API 521) and the set-up of an instrumentational protection (IEC 65111). The course will end with a plant visit to VOPAK in the Antwerp Harbour region.

This course is included in Master of Safety Engineering at the KULeuven and has a student’s evaluation of 4,8/5.
