CSIR-NCL has developed an economical method for biosurfactant production and recovery. The resulting thermostable biosurfactant boasts a unique blend of 1-Pentanonacontene and 3-Hydroxy-16-methylheptadecanoic acid. Lab-scale validation is complete, and we're thrilled to announce that it's open for licensing/co-development opportunities.

PROCESS SAFETY DEFINITIONS FOR CHEMICAL PROCESS ENGINEERS

Being a chemical process engineer working with plant design is not only about process simulation, drawings and specification. You need to have a process safety point of view in all activities and deliverables you develop. Today, I will share with you some definitions taken from CCPS to help you get familiar with this subject:

Hazard Analysis
The identification of undesired events that lead to the materialization of a hazard, the analysis of the mechanisms by which these undesired events could occur and usually the estimation of the consequences.

Hazard and Operability Study HAZOP
A systematic qualitative technique to identify process hazards and potential operating problems using a series of guide words to study process deviations. A HAZOP is used to question every part of a process to discover what deviations from the intention of the design can occur and what their causes and consequences may be. This is done systematically by applying suitable guide words. This is a systematic detailed review technique, for both batch and continuous plants, which can be applied to new or existing processes to identify hazards

Layer of Protection Analysis LOPA
An approach that analyzes one incident scenario (cause consequence pair) at a time, using predefined values for the initiating event frequency, independent protection layer failure probabilities, and consequence severity, in order to compare a scenario risk estimate to risk criteria for determining where additional risk reduction or more detailed analysis is needed. Scenarios are identified elsewhere, typically using a scenario based hazard evaluation procedure such as a HAZOP Study.
