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.

Key Features

Presents complexity assessment and management to the conventional HAZOP ¿
Provides multivariable monitoring to dynamic simulation for a holistic hazard identification and process safeguards requirements ¿
Describes AI to support the HAZOP team with code-based requirements and historical failure and accident data ¿
Explains AI to find the dynamic behavior of process based on empirical data without the models with simplification assumptions

Title Reviews

"In the context of hazard identification and risk assessment element of PSM, HAZOP plays an essential role for the design and operation of the process safeguards against hazardous operating scenarios and predictive maintenance of the safety critical equipment.... This book raises awareness that oversimplification of complex processes or hazardous operating scenarios could lead to major accidents, proposes practical methods to identify and categorize process complexities systematically, and follows a holistic assessment of their risk and required safeguards which enables to define the boundaries of the HAZOP 4.0 accurately."
