Polymerization Modeling for Relief Systems Design

This 1,3-Buatadiene Polymerization Case Study was presented to the DIERS User Group on April 28-30, 2003 in Philadelphia, PA. Some conclusions that can be drawn from this presentation include: Free radical polymerization models should be run in parallel with thermally initiated polymerization models, It is possible for a free radical/anion initiated polymerization to “jump-start” thermally initiated polymerizations if sufficient initiator is present, and polymerization models are simple and can easily be applied in SuperChems™ for DIERS or other simulation computer codes for performing relief design for reactive systems and process optimization as well.

Preventing Hidden Risks in BESS Using PHA Techniques

OSHA’s high hazard chemicals aren't the only chemicals that can cause a process safety incident. In April 2019, a fire and explosion of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at an Arizona electrical substation injured eight firefighters and threw one person over 70 feet. Read more

Reactivity Expert System for Recognizing Reactivity Hazards

Recognizing reactivity hazards of pure chemicals and mixtures is critical for managing risks in processing industries, emergency response activities, and waste treatment facilities. A binary interaction matrix is a simple tool for summarizing reactivity information and it is always a good practice to generate compatibility matrix for the system of interest. The generation of such matrix is a complex task and may involve several man-hours. This paper discusses reactivity expert system, a computerized algorithm that has several databases of interactions and generates compatibility matrix between chemicals. The reactivity expert system also displays available regulatory and toxicity information for a chemical, if available. We applied the reactivity expert system as a screening tool for 167 CSB incidents and it successfully screened 126 of 127 incidents where chemicals involved were specified. Read more
