Digital Feature: The critical interdependency of relief valve analysis and flare system considerations during HAZOP
Hazard and operability (HAZOP) studies are a systematic and structured methodology used to identify potential hazards and operability issues in industrial processes. One of the key safeguards often considered in HAZOP studies is pressure relief valves and flare systems to mitigate overpressure scenarios.
Executive Viewpoint: Heavy industry, light footprint—Helping the HPI run leaner and cleaner with AI
AI has the potential to effect a real change. By harnessing vast amounts of operational data, AI can support process optimization, help to predict equipment failures and better facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources. These capabilities can improve asset performance as well as operational sustainability.
Digital Feature: Flare system design—The importance of periodic evaluation of existing facilities
This article emphasizes the critical importance of routinely revalidating relief and flare system designs, much like the periodic review of process hazard analyses. A detailed case study is reviewed to illustrate the value of such revalidations.
