Dynamic Risk Analysis in the Chemical and Petroleum Industry: Evolution and Interaction with Parallel Disciplines in the Perspective of Industrial Application

Dynamic Risk Analysis in the Chemical and Petroleum Industry focuses on bridging the gap between research and industry by responding to the following questions: What are the most relevant developments of risk analysis?How can these studies help industry in the prevention of major accidents? Paltrinieri and Khan provide support for professionals who plan to improve risk analysis by introducing innovative techniques and exploiting the potential of data share and process technologies. This concrete reference within an ever-growing variety of innovations will be most helpful to process safety managers, HSE managers, safety engineers and safety engineering students. This book is divided into four parts. The Introduction provides an overview of the state-of-the-art risk analysis methods and the most up-to-date popular definitions of accident scenarios. The second section on Dynamic Risk Analysis shows the dynamic evolution of risk analysis and covers Hazard Identification, Frequency Analysis, Consequence Analysis and Establishing the Risk Picture. The third section on Interaction with Parallel Disciplines illustrates the interaction between risk analysis and other disciplines from parallel fields, such as the nuclear, the economic and the financial sectors. The final section on Dynamic Risk Management addresses risk management, which may dynamically learn from itself and improve in a spiral process leading to a resilient system. Helps dynamic analysis and management of risk in chemical and process industry Provides industry examples and techniques to assist you with risk- based decision making Addresses also the human, economic and reputational aspects composing the overall risk picture INDICE: Part I: Introduction A short overview of risk analysis background and recent developmentsNew definitions of old issues and need for continuous improvement Part II: Dynamic Risk Analysis Sub-section 1: Hazard Identification Advanced techniques for dynamic hazard identificationDynamic hazard identification: tutorial and examples Sub-section 2: Frequency Analysis Reactive approaches of probability update based on Bayesian inferenceProactive approaches of dynamic risk assessment based on indicatorsCoupling of reactive and proactive approaches: tutorials and examplesComparison and complementarity between reactive and proactive approaches Sub-section 3: Consequence Analysis Dynamic consequence analysis through Computational Fluid Dynamics modellingComputational Fluid Dynamics modelling: tutorial and examplesAssessing the severity of thermal hazardsThermal hazard assessment: tutorial and examples Sub-section 4: Establishing the Risk Picture Risk metrics and dynamic risk visualization Part III: Interaction with Parallel Disciplines Sub-section 1: Humans Human Reliability Analysis: from the nuclear to the petroleum sectorHRA in the petroleum industry: tutorial and examples Sub-section 2: Costs and Benefits Cost-Benefit Analysis of safety measuresCost-Benefit Analysis for low-probability high-impact risks: tutorial and examples Sub-section 3: Reputation Reputational damage following major accidentsEstimation of major accident reputational damage: tutorial and examples Part IV: Dynamic Risk Management Dynamic Risk Management in the perspective of a resilient system Conclusions
