Process Safety Management

Basics

• The Safety Management of Industrial Processes / Facilities
• The development of systems and protocol in a ((Bio)(Petro-))Chemical Plant / Major Facility ( Fuel Farms / Fueling Stations , Anhydrous Ammonia storage/filling sites, etc) preventing fires, explosions and accidental chemical releases
• Essentially anything at a commercial to industrial scale that is a significant risk of:
  • Explosion Hazard
  • Flammability Risk
  • Health Hazard (Caustic, Carcinogen, Toxic, Poisonous, etc)
  • Environmental Hazard
  • etc

Relevant OSE Aspects

• Fuel Farm / Fueling Station / Fuel Storage
• Bio-Refinery
• Eco-Industrial Park
• Welding Gas Storage/Production (?) ( Cascade Filling System high pressure explosion / mass asphyxiant release)
• Hydrogen Production / Hydrogen Storage
• Biogas Storage / Biogas Upgrading , and to a lesser degree Biogas Production
