Introduction to Risk Analysis of Fine Chemical Processes

Introduction to Risk Analysis of Fine Chemical Processes 

This type of incident is difficult to predict. Nevertheless, by using a systematic approach to hazard identification it should become clear that any water entering the reactor could lead to an explosion. Therefore when changing some parts of the equipment, even if they are not directly involved in a given process, especially in multi-purpose plants, one should at least consider possible consequences on the safety parameters of the process. 

Systematic searches for hazard, assessment of risk, and identification of possible remediation are the basic steps of risk analysis methods reviewed in this chapter.

After an introduction that considers the place of chemical industry in society, the basic concepts related to risk analysis are presented. The second section reviews the steps of the risk analysis of chemical processes discussed. Safety data are presented in the third section and the methods of hazard identification in the section after that. The chapter closes with a section devoted to the practice of risk analysis.
