Mr. Amit Bansal

Asia Engineering Manager, Curtiss-Wright Industrial Group

Synopsis:

This webinar will provide necessary knowledge about identifying overpressure scenarios, definition of relief system terminology, common cause scenarios, and simplified methods for overpressure calculations

Speaker:

Ms. Prashanti Bhupathi

Senior Lead, Major Accident Risk, Reliance Industries Ltd

Synopsis:

The webinar will highlight the importance of a quality PHA as it lends itself to a successful Risk Based Process Safety Program. Case studies show that unrecognized hazards and improper PHA techniques lead to catastrophic results. Session will also cover success stories along with customizable tools, where PHA's were effectively applied in risk-based decisions throughout the lifecycle of the facility.

Speaker:

Mr. Chaitanya Gottimukkala 

Principal Engineer,

SREVeda.

Synopsis:

The webinar introduces the attendee to the concept of Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA), and its application. LOPA is a semi-quantitative risk assessment tool to evaluate the effectiveness and adequacy of the protection layers to manage the risk from an identified scenario. It is also used to determine the target Safety Integrity Level (SIL) of a Safety Instrumented Function (SIF). The scenarios requiring LOPA are identified from a previous Process Hazard Analysis (HAZOP or similar) study. Additionally, this webinar will cover a worked-out example on the application of LOPA methodology for an identified scenario.
