PHASUITE: AN AUTOMATED HAZOP ANALYSIS TOOL FOR CHEMICAL PROCESSES
INTRODUCTION
Safety is an important issue in process design and operation
in chemical industry. It is even more critical for modern
chemical manufacturing processes, which are either operated
under extreme conditions to achieve maximum economic
profit, or are highly flexible, such as the specialty
chemical or pharmaceutical processes. The importance of
safety analysis in process operation is well recognized
after occurrence of several tragic accidents that could
have been avoided by adequate process safety analysis
(Kletz, 1999). As a result, OSHA set the standard for process
safety management (Title 29 CFR 1910.119), which
requires the use of a process hazard analysis (PHA)
technique for the identification of process hazards. It is
estimated that 25 000 plant sites in US are covered by the
OSHA standard.
