| He will participate to a HAZOP study on a site |
|
|
| He will draw conclusions about the strengths and weaknesses of the technique |
| 3 | Comparison of different hazard identification techniques | OSHA 1910.119 recommends a number of Hazard Identification techniques |
|
|
| The student will make a review of the advantages and shortcomings of these techniques |
|
| | The student will make a guideline about how to chose the best technique |
ACCIDENTOLOGY | 4 | Set up of a database for accidents | The student will study the structure of different accident databases |
|
|
| The student will develop a webbased structure for an accident database |
|
|
| The database should enable to perform statistical analysis of the accidents |

|
|
| Each accident will be described in detail and an analysis of the causes will be done |
|
|
| The student will perform a statistical analysis on the causes |
|
|
| He will formulate recommendations to avoid reccurence of these accidents |
| 7 | Compilation of toxic spills in the process industry in China | The student will make a compilation of toxic spills that occurred in the process industry in China |
|
|
| Each accident will be described in detail and an analysis of the causes will be done |
|
|
| The student will perform a statistical analysis on the causes |
|
| | He will formulate recommendations to avoid reccurence of these accidents |
CONSEQUENCE MODELLING | 8 | Accidental release calculation handbook | The student will make a study of the different methods to calculate the accidental release rate of products (vapor, liquid, 2-phase relase) |
|
|
| He will propose a number of simple methods |
|
|
| The handbook will comprise calculation examples |
| 9 | The study of the dispersion of heavy gas | The student will explain the difference between the dispersion of a lighter than air gas, a neutral gas and a dense gas |
|
|
| He will compare different methods for the calculation of the dispersion of a denser than air gas |
|
|
| He will perform a number of calculations with a computercode Phast |
| 10 | Pool evaporation of liquids | The student will study and describe the physics of the evaporation of a liquid pool |
|
|
| He will compare different calculation methods |
