Equipment Failure
Abstract
In previous chapters, the primary area of interest was consequence modeling at multiscale levels such as assessment of thermal hazards from fire, dispersion modeling of hazardous gases, consequence modeling of explosion, and estimation of safety parameters relevant to flammable and toxic chemicals. In safety analysis, consequence modeling is necessary but not a sufficient step. Consequence modeling addresses the question: How severe can a process safety incident be? It does not address: How often could it happen? The likelihood of a process safety event is thus very important for performing a quantitative risk assessment study of a given scenario. Some of the information that helps estimate the likelihood ...
