A New Approach to HAZOP of Complex Chemical Processes

A New Approach to HAZOP of Complex Chemical Processes provides practical methods to identify and categorize chemical process complexities systematically. The book follows a holistic assessment of risks and required safeguards which enables readers to define the boundaries of HAZOP 4.0 accurately. The book is written by authors who have decades of experience in advanced process monitoring and artificial intelligence to support HAZOP teams with a holistic dynamic simulation and multivariable monitoring of the complex systems, and to assess historical failure and accident data and information using artificial intelligence techniques in a user-friendly way.

• Covers complexity assessment and management of conventional HAZOP
• Features multivariable monitoring to dynamic simulation for holistic hazard identification
• Includes process safeguard requirements
• Explores artificial intelligence (AI) to support the HAZOP team, with code-based requirements and historical failure and accident data
• Utilizes AI to find the dynamic behavior of processes based on empirical data
• Includes case studies
