报告人简介:


Prof.dr.ir. Genserik Reniers is a Full Professor at the Delft University of Technology. He also is a Professor (in a part-time capacity) both at the University of Antwerp and at the KU Leuven (campus Brussels), both in Belgium, lecturing amongst others in chemistry, organic chemistry, and engineering risk analysis and risk management. He is a world-leading researcher in the field of process safety. His research involves domino effects in the process industry, Physical security in the chemical industry, hazmat transportation, dynamic risk assessments and harsh environments, etc. He has authored more than 150 peer-reviewed papers and 35 books. He is a Receiving Editor/Associate Editor/Guest Editor of 5 international journals including Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, Safety Science, Reliability Engineering and System Safety, etc.  


报告摘要:


The chemical industry provides most of the necessities for our modern day lives. The use and, storage, processing, and transportation of hazardous substances are also characterized with increasing trend. As a result, ever more chemical plants are being built around the world, mostly settled together in integrated industrial parks or in so-called chemical clusters. The concentration of activities within chemical clusters may result in accidents having a simultaneous impact on several plant units, resulting in loss of life, environmental contamination, and in the disruption of community life by the interruption of lifelines and fuel supplies. Among the most destructive major accidents are those where a “domino effect” take place, and these accidents pose a great threat to urban public safety.


In the first presentation, the background of major accidents and Seveso legislation will be introduced. Then the domino effects in the process industries and the dynamic risk assessment and management of domino effects will be discussed in detail. Finally, the future prospect will be discussed with the audience.


In the second presentation, the brief history of safety progress and a paradigm shift of “CHESS” about the urban public safety will be introduced. Furthermore, urban public safety and risk management with respect to a chemical industrial park and the emergency response matrix will be discussed. Finally, some research hotspots about the urban public safety will be recommended.
