Two-Day CEP Course On
Quantitative Risk Assessment for Chemical Processes
THROUGH CASE STUDIES
19th
& 20th September, 2003
Introduction
Quantitative
Risk Assessment (QRA) is now integral to the overall strategy of chemical process safety management. It is also required by the current Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals
Rules (Ministry of Environment and Forests, Govt. of India). The proposed course aims at a case study
based overview of the methodologies that are currently employed for
risk assessment in the chemical process industry.
Application
of risk assessment techniques can help identify potential accidents and to
quantify their nature, extent and likelihood of occurrence. For example,
in order to comply with the regulatory requirements relating to emergency
planning it is necessary to estimate the distance to which harmful effects on
humans, and equipment damage would be experienced in the event of a major
accident.
QRA has been applied to new and existing facilties
to ensure that the hazards associated with the plants are acceptable to
employees and the public. QRA expresses the magnitude of a hazard on an
absolute numerical scale thereby providing plant designers and managers the
necessary data to take measures for reducing the risk to acceptable levels. It
is also frequently used to compare the effects of alternative safety measures.
The proposed course will employ a series of case
studies to illustrate the various elements of risk assessment:
·
Methods used to identify sources of accidents and
the ways in which they could occur
·
Methods for estimating the potential consequences of
accidents
·
Methods used to estimate the probabilities of
equipment/human loss
·
Methods for estimating the likelihood of occurrence
of accidents
·
Methods
used for estimating risk with and without mitigative technologies

Who Can Be Benefited?
The
course has been designed for personnel (technical
and managerial) from chemical and petrochemical industry involved with evolving and implementing safety
management systems. A basic degree in science or engineering would be
adequate for understanding and utilizing the concepts and methodologies that
will be presented through varied case studies.
Faculty
The course instructor has been involved with
chemical process safety issues for the last ten years. He has conducted several
courses dealing with the various facets of hazard and risk assessment for both
industry as well as government organizations. In addition, he has carried out
risk assessment for a number of industries. His other research interests
include High Pressure Technology and Colloidal and Interfacial
Engineering, and he has also worked as a consultant in these areas. For his
work on the development of Supercritical Fluid Extraction Technology, he was
awarded the “NOCIL Award for Excellence
in Design/Development of Process Plant/Equipment” (IIChE, 1997) and the “P K Patwardhan Technology Development and Transfer Award (2001)”. He is also the Editor, UPDATE, the R&D magazine
of IIT Bombay.
