The course will feature:            

• Selection and sizing of safety valves and pressure relief systems
• Methods for process hazards analysis: HAZOP, LOPA, FMEA
• Importance of the concept of “Inherently Safer Design”
• Design principles based on Standards for safe operation of process equipment
• Detection and prevention methods for fire and explosion accidents
• Plant Equipment Inspection (NDT) and Maintenance Procedures.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• Understanding different aspects of process design that influence process safety
• Appreciate “inherently safer design” for the entire process plant operation
• Evaluate mechanical integrity of process equipment
• Identify hazards associated with process fluids regarding impact on material degradation
• Follow code requirements for sizing relief valves to handle relief streams
• Operate emergency de-pressuring systems (EDP) in case of fire and gas explosions
