ioKinetic

ioKinetic An ISO accredited, ultramodern testing facility that can assist in minimizing operational risks. Safety testing and consulting is our business.

All of our testing is conducted by our "hands-on" engineers and scientists. The same experts design the testing, approve the test results, analyze the data and evaluate your process. We track and help develop advances to existing methods. We stay on top of changes to regulations, standards and RAGAGEP so you don't have to. As users of the data, we are in a unique position to help you define test p

lans that will provide the answers to your questions. We are experts at generating chemical reactivity and combustible dust data. Our consulting services will help you apply that data to improve your operations and minimize your risk. Social Media Terms of Use: Thank you for positively contributing to this ioKinetic page.

On March 20, 1989, a cryogenic tank filled with 7,000 tons of ammonia at a fertilizer plant in Lithuania suddenly ruptured and ignited, killing 7 and injuring 57 workers. Calorimetry data for Emergency Relief System (ERS) design is absolutely critical to meet compliance and prevent future incidents like this.

Key RAGAGEP deficiencies per API 620 and API 2000:

• Roof Design

• Emergency Relief Valves

• Interlocks & Alarms

• Process Safety Information (PSI)

Do you suffer from the ERS design ostrich syndrome? Most companies are well-equipped to perform emergency relief system (ERS) design for single-phase flow and non-reactive systems. Existing standards and recommended engineering practices developed by organizations such as the ASME, NFPA, API, and AIChE's CCPS enable a competent engineer with proper training to perform such calculations with a high degree of confidence and accuracy.

Reactive systems, however, are more complex, and may be susceptible to fire-induced and process-induced runaway reactions.

Read this publication by Georges Melhem, Ph.D., FAIChE, for guidance that can be applied to reactive systems subject to process-and-fire-induced runaway reactions, tanks that store reactive materials, and two-phase flow of reactive materials. Also included are suggestions for obtaining calorimetry data for emergency relief system (ERS) design. https://bit.ly/3E7hJhp

On February 22, 1993, several tons of toxic chemicals were released when a runaway reaction occurred at a pharmaceutical manufacturer in Germany.

Key Safety Issues:

• Missing Process Safety Information (PSI)

• Lack of interlocks & alarms

• Serious structural, environmental, and operational failures

• No process hazard recognition

• Lack of written safety procedures

Have you confirmed the adequacy of all the relief devices at your facility?

A midsized chemical manufacturing company, which serves the healthcare, personal care, home care, infrastructure, lubricants, and paper industries, was concerned about a possible runaway reaction.

They needed a comprehensive evaluation of their pressure relief devices and unprotected equipment, including one reactive reactor system.

On December 16, 2002, at a chemical facility in Chalampé, France, a leak of cyclohexane occurred during a maintenance activity on the expansion loop of the DN50 mm manifold. As the piping was not yet equipped with a device for rapid leak detection, it took 30 hours to determine the cause of the pressure anomaly.

Key Safety Issues:

• Missing chemical kinetic data

• Lack of interlocks & alarms

• Missing Process Safety Information (PSI)

• Lack of inspection and testing of critical equipment

• No process hazard recognition

• Lack of written safety procedures

Small companies that don’t exceed the threshold quantity requirements to be covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Process Safety Management (PSM) of Highly Hazardous Chemicals Standard are still handling hazardous materials that may pose risks to their employees and the public. However, many of these companies have limited resources and find the idea of implementing an entire PSM program daunting.

For example, a Danvers, MA chemical facility had only 15 employees in 2006. On November 22, 2006, the facility released a flammable v***r that reached an ignition source and exploded. The company was destroyed along with 24 neighboring houses and six businesses. They did not have a written process safety program, and the emergency responders and community were not aware of the hazards at this commercial business.

Read this paper for a practical framework and learn the four phases you can use as milestones to implement over time at your facility. https://bit.ly/3y1B8g5
