To Dr Barry Cott, Global R D Leader, Process Control and Optimization, Shell Global Solutions for contributing the section on Saecning control strategies via steady-state simulation in Chapter 8. 

The technology leader must recognize that in the context in which industrial R D is conducted, certain societal concerns over the perceived risks can make specific technologies, products, or processes unacceptable in the marketplace and render some technological innovation unfortunately irrelevant. 

Best Pra.ctices, Technology leaders must provide the direction for improving work processes as well as the work itself. They should seek the best known ways to carry out R D best practices. There is considerable advice available on best R D practices. 

The cmcible process gave steels that were not only homogeneous throughout but were free from occluded slag originating in the wrought kon used to make cement steel. Cmcible steel was so superior to cement steel for many purposes that the cmcible process quickly became the leader for the production of the finest steels. Its drawback was, however, that each cmcible held only ca 50 kg steel. 

The task force must be capable of identifying pollution reduc tion alternatives as well as be cognizant of inherent obstacles to the process. Barriers frequently arise from the anxiety associated with the belief that the program will negatively affect produc t quality or result in production losses. According to an EPA survey, 30 percent of indus-tiy comments responded that they were concerned that product qualify would decline if waste minimization techniques were implemented (Ref. 6). As such, the assessment team, and the team leader in particular, must be ready to react to these and other concerns (Ref. 2fy... 

Some people beheve that it may be an advantage for the team leader not to nave an intimate knowledge of the plant or process being studied in order to maintain neutrality. Ideally, the team leader should...

Other problems concerning transportation systems, waste processing and recycling systems, nahonal priorities, international economics, employment versus environmental quality, and personal freedoms will continue to surface. The choices will have to be made, ideally by educated citizens and charismatic leaders. 

A team consists of two or more people that know the process technology, design, operating procedures, practices, alarms, emergency procedures, test and maintenance procedures, routine and non-routine tasks. They must consider authorization and procurement of parts and supplies, safety and health standards, codes, specifications and regulations. The team leader provides m.iriagcment and goals to the process the team and consultants construct and interpret the analyses. 

The PrHA team leader assembles a qualified team to perform a What-lf/Checklist analysis. If the process is large, the team is divided into subteams according to functions, physical areas, or tasks similarly to the discussion in Sections 3.3.1 and 3.3.2. 

Flaving selected the operating mode, the HAZOP leader selects the process variable to be considered for the selected mode. 

The H AZOP leader selects an appropriate aspect of the plant s process systems (a process node) and associated systems that affect the selected process variable for the selected mode of plant operation. The selection may be made fiom the plant system classification, or it may be from the nodal analysis of the process. 

HAZOP focuses on study nodes, process sections, and operating steps. The number of nodes depending on the team leader and study objectives. Conservative studies consider e er line and vessel. An experienced HAZOP leader may combine nodes. For example, the cooling looser . .ater chlorination system may be divided into a) chlorine supply to venturi, b) recirculation loop, and e) to .er water basin. Alternatively, two study nodes may be used a) recirculation loop and tower water basin, and b) chlorine supply to venturi. Or one study node for the entire process. 

Staff requirements for a HAZOP depend on the size and complexity of the process being analyzed. Time and cost are proportional to the size of the process and the experience of the study leader and team members. Table 3.3.4-5 presents estimates of the time needed to perform a PrHA using the HAZOP study method (CCPS, 1992). Study sessions should be limited to 3 consecutive... 

The HAZOP team consisted of a HAZOP leader, scribe, process engineer, senior operator, and afety engineer. Previously, the HAZOP leader collected information on the process design (e.g P lDs, operating procedures, emergency procedures and incident reports) for distribution to each team men The leader sectioned the process and identified process deviations prior to the HAZOP. 

A leader in applying PSA to other parts of the chemical process industry has been the AlChf. s Center for Chemical Process Safety. A major difference between PSA for nuclear power and PSA for chemical processing has been the lack of government regulations that require risk analysis for chemical processes. A primary impetuous has been the Occupational Safety and Health Administration s (OSHA) PSM rule that defines the application of PSA to the chemical industry for ihc proteciion of the public and workers. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agcrii, . (EPA) regulates waste disposal. 

Setting corporate goals for PSM. These may be tangible (e.g., dollar savings, percent reduction in accidental releases, etc.) and/or philosophical (e.g., "Our company will be an industry leader in process safety"). 

Facilitate interchange of ideas. The most effective team leaders are often facilitators, not dictators. An interdisciplinary team s greatest strength lies in its multiple perspectives and fresh ideas. Try to incorporate your own ideas into the group s discussion rather than imposing them. Keep in mind that healthy disagreement can enhance both the process and its end result.

Traditionally, the mix of pretreatment equipment required to meet a specific FW volume and quality specification is provided as a permanent installation under a capital project, although today there is a growing global market in outsourced water services. Typically, vendors such as Ecolochem, Inc., a world leader in this type of service, provide trailer-mounted, mobile water-processing equipment that can be...
