    HAZOP Case Studies For Workshop Session

    Uploaded by

    This document describes a case study for performing a HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) study on a cooling system for a reactor. The reactor reaction is exothermic and requires cooling to control the temperature and reaction rate. Loss of the cooling function could lead to a runaway reaction and overpressurization of the reactor. A HAZOP study is recommended to identify potential deviations and hazards in the cooling system to prevent loss of cooling and ensure safe operation of the reactor.

    HAZOP Case Studies – Example 1

    Cooling Coils

    Monomer
    Feed .Refer to reactor system shown

    Cooling Water to Sewer The reaction is exothermic. A cooling system is


    provided to remove the excess energy of
    Cooling reaction. In the event of cooling function is lost,
    Water In the temperature of reactor would increase. This
    would lead to an increase in reaction rate
    .leading to additional energy release

    The result could be a runaway reaction with


    pressures exceeding the bursting pressure of
    the reactor. The temperature within the reactor
    is measured and is used to control the cooling
