1 NO Material A No material A Supply Tank A is empty No flow of A into reactor None Shown Situation not Consider installation on tank MG
acceptable A of a low-level alarm plus a
Explosion low-level trip to stop pump B
2 NO Transfer A (at No transfer of A Pump A stopped, line Explosion None Shown Situation Not Measurement of flow rate for JK
a rate > B) takes place blocked Acceptable material A plus a low flow
which trips pump B
3 MORE Material A More material A: Filling of tank from Tank will overflow into None Shown Remark: This would Consider high-level alarm if EK
supply tank over tanker when insufficient bounded area have been identified not previously identified
full capacity exists during examination
of the tank
4 MORE Transfer A More transfer of Wrong size impeller Possible reduction in None Check pump flows and JK
A yield characteristics during
Wrong pump fitted commissioning
Increased flow Product will contain large
rate of A excess A
Revise the commissioning JK
procedure
5 LESS Material A Less A Low level in tank Inadequate net positive None Unacceptable Consider installation on tank MG
suction head A of a low-level alarm plus a
low-level trip to stop pump B
Possible vortexing and
leading to an explosion

Inadequate flow
6 LESS Transfer A (at Reduced flow Line partially blocked, Explosion None Shown Not Acceptable Measurement of flow rate for JK
a rate > B) rate of A leakage, pump under material A plus a low flow
performing etc which trips pump B
7 AS WELL AS Material A As well as A Contaminated supply to Not Known Contents of all tankers Considered Check operating procedure LB
there is other tank checked and analysed Acceptable
fluid material prior to discharge into
also present in tank
the supply tank
