Methods and Tools for Resilience and Dynamic Risk Assessment of Chemical Processes

Methods and Tools for Resilience and Dynamic Risk Assessment of Chemical Processes

introduces systematic approaches in risk assessment in chemical process safety along with relevant tools, models and latest methodologies for assessing safety and resilience in chemical processes, systems engineering, risk and resilience engineering, and simulation and modelling.

The first chapters in this book outline the theoretical framework of chemical process safety, emphasizing the integration of safety into chemical engineering through key ideas like inherent safety and corporate culture.

It highlights the significance of Process Hazard Identification (PHI) methods, including traditional techniques and advancements such as AI, for effectively identifying and mitigating hazards.

Further chapters investigate advanced hazard assessment methodologies like Systems Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) and Risk-Based Process Safety (RBPS), alongside dynamic risk assessment techniques.

The text also discusses the evolution of "resilience" in process safety, resilience assessment methods, and simulation tools for enhancing safety.

This book includes real-world case studies coupled with insights on future trends in technology to help researchers and students alike to conduct their own future research into risk and resilience assessment in chemical process safety fields.

This book will be an invaluable guide to anyone working in chemical process safety, particularly within the fields of risk assessment, systems modelling and control.
