 | Dynamic Risk Analysis in the Chemical and Petroleum Industry Dynamic Risk Analysis in the Chemical and Petroleum Industry focuses on bridging the gap between research and industry by responding to the following questions: What are the most relevant developments of risk analysis? How can these studies help industry in the prevention of major accidents?Paltrinieri and Khan provide support for professionals who plan to improve risk analysis by introducing innovative techniques and exploiting the potential of data share and process technologies. This concrete reference within an ever-growing variety of innovations will be most helpful to process safety managers, HSE managers, safety engineers and safety engineering students. This book is divided into four parts. The Introduction provides an overview of the state-of-the-art risk analysis methods and the most up-to-date popular definitions of accident scenarios. The second section on Dynamic Risk Analysis shows the dynamic evolution of risk analysis and covers Hazard Identification, Frequency Analysis, Consequence Analysis and Establishing the Risk Picture. The third section on Interaction with Parallel Disciplines illustrates the interaction between risk analysis and other disciplines from parallel fields, such as the nuclear, the economic and the financial sectors. The final section on Dynamic Risk Management addresses risk management, which may dynamically learn from itself and improve in a spiral process leading to a resilient system. Nicola Paltrinieri is an associate professor at the department of Production and Quality Engineering of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. He received his PhD in Safety Engineering from the University of Bologna (Italy). He has worked in internationally renowned research teams at the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research, the Health and Safety Laboratory in the United Kingdom, the Memorial University of Newfoundland in Canada and the Foundation for Scientific and Industrial Research in Norway. He was awarded with the Onsager fellowship for established reputation for high-quality research. He is involved in a number of projects on advanced techniques of risk analysis in collaboration with world leading oil and gas companies. He is interested in the study and improvement of risk management in the broadest sense, from economic to organizational implications. Faisal Khan is a professor and the Vale Research Chair of Process Safety and Risk Engineering. In 2000 he founded the Safety and Risk Engineering Group (SREG) at the Memorial University of Newfoundland. He is leading the SREG, which currently has 40+ researchers working on a wide range of theoretical and applied research activities mainly related to process safety and asset integrity management. His areas of research interest include: safety and risk engineering, inherent safety, risk management, and risk-based integrity assessment and management. He has authored over 300 research articles in peer reviewed journals and conferences on safety, risk and reliability engineering. He has authored five books on the subject area. He is the editor to the Journal of Process Safety and Environmental Protection, and Journal of Process System Engineering. |
