One of the industrial areas in the south of Iran is Bandar Imam Petrochemical Economic Zone which has a lot of petrochemical complex, Farabi Petrochemical complex is one of those places. Coagulation/flocculation could be a typical methodology in water and wastewater treatment that a number of chemicals are added to assist the coagulation/flocculation and causes to the sedimentation. In this pap...

Under the Rio Declaration and Agenda 21 from the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1992 as well as other international agreements, Thailand is currently in the process of adopting the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR) through a pilot project in Rayong province with assistance from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). This research aimed to st...

The paper describes an approach to predicting gas explosion loads and response which has been developed for offshore installations and which only recently has been adapted to onshore petrochemical facilities. The paper consists of three parts: Part 1: An overview of vapour cloud explosion hazards in petrochemical onshore facilities and a discussion of modeling approaches. Part 2: A probabilisti...

Abstract: Chemical storage tank leakage in petrochemical wharf is a serious economic, environmental and safety problem. Risk assessment is an effective way to identify chemical storage tank hazards and provides a guide for accident prevention in petrochemical wharf enterprises. Based on the characteristics of chemical storage tank zone, this paper proposes a real-time relative risk assessment m...

In this work, a multiperiod MINLP model is proposed for the supply chain optimization of a petrochemical complex. Nonlinear, semi-rigorous models have been included for main plants in the site, allowing the determination of process operating conditions and product properties. Intermediate and final product storage and shipping are considered. Binary variables are associated to intermittent prod...

Since global warming due to greenhouse gas emissions is no respecter of geographical boundaries of countries, concerted mitigation activities such as Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), are suitable. In this mechanism, some developed countries can gain certified emission reduction credits from emission reduction actions undertaken in developing countries. Thus, the data of greenhouse gas emissio...

The complex nature of the petrochemical industries necessitates an efficient decision on a large number of factors so as to optimally operate a plant. Production planning is an integral part of the petrochemical industry and requires the optimal selection of processes, production levels and products to maximize its profit. Previously an MILP formulation has been proposed for guiding the petroch...
