A Scenario-based Risk Analysis and Safety Design of Batch Processes

Batch process becomes increasingly important due to greater emphasis on low-volume, higher added value products, and a need for flexibility in market driven environments. The process safety management becomes a crucial issue and its implementation has become a mandatory as the public concern on environmental impacts and safety of chemical industries heightened. This research proposes a risk analysis and safety design method of batch processes as well as an information model used for it. The proposed method achieves an efficient constructuion and maintenance of abnormal situation handling procedures.
