Automation and Control of Chemical and Petrochemical Plants
نویسنده
چکیده
The chemical and petrochemical industries produce a wide variety of products that are essential for modern industrialized societies. Chemicals are the building blocks for products that meet fundamental needs for food, health, and consumer products. Chemicals are also essential to wide range of industries such as pharmaceuticals, automobiles, textiles, furniture, paint, paper, electronics, agriculture, construction, and appliances. The fuels produced by petrochemical plants play a vital role in meeting our and energy and transportation requirements. Although there are legitimate concerns about the environmental and safety issues associated with these industries, it is very difficult to imagine how industrialized societies could sustain a high standard of living without these products.

A New Methodology for Frequency Estimation of Second or Higher Level Domino Accidents in Chemical and Petrochemical Plants Using Monte Carlo Simulation
Some of the most destructive accidents of 1980s and 90s which occurred in process industries were domino accidents. Although domino accidents are among the most destructive industrial accidents, there are not much pioneering works done on quantification of them. The analytical formulation of the domino accidents is usually complex and need a deep knowledge of probability rules. Even if the ...
