Module

Safety- and Risk-Analysis for Process Plants

Sicherheits- und Risikoanalyse für Prozessanlagen

6 LPSoSeEN

Inhalte

• Hazard identification methods (e.g. Checklists, FMEA, HAZOP) • Frequency evaluation methods (event tree, fault tree) • Consequence evaluation methods (e.g. one- and two phase flow (critical, sub-critical), dispersion of neutral and dense gas, fire, explosion and toxic hazards) • Qualitative and quantitative risk assessment methods • Safety related plant optimization Exercise: • Realization of safety and risk studies (method, case study)

Lernziele

After completing the module, students will be able to apply basic methods for performing and evaluating safety-related aspects for industrial plants. They learn methodical basics for the evaluation of probabilities of occurrence and the derivation of the resulting consequences. Using the methods taught for qualitative and quantitative risk assessment, students are able to independently develop sustainable concepts and solutions. They also have basic knowledge of safety-related plant optimization and can communicate this to plant operators, authorities, etc.

Prüfungsleistung
