Process Hazards Analysis

Qualitative and quantitative risk assesment techniques applied to your process to minimize potential hazards. RISK MANAGEMENT

Process Hazards Analysis (PHA) is a component of both Process Safety Management (PSM) and Risk Management Programs (RMP), to be utilized in Regulatory Compliance Audits. Our approach to risk management emphasizes: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Minimizing personnel exposure Minimizing quantities of hazardous materials "Safety by Design" Accurate procedures and standards Rigorous personnel training.

SMS has experience in performing Process Hazards Analyses (PHAs) for several different process and operation types including the following:

Risk Management

Proper risk management focuses on not only normal operations/conditions but also abnormal operations/conditions, equipment design, human factors, standard operating and contingency procedures, maintenance operations, and facility design and siting.

Automobile Air Bag Propellant Manufacturing Process Nitroglycerin Manufacturing in a Commercial Smokeless Powder Plant Solventless Propellant Extrusion Process Shotgun, Rifle, Pistol, and other Ammunition Manufacturing Processes Manufacturer of Solid Propellant Rocket Motors Waste Water Treatment Facility Sodium Azide Recovery Process Groundwater Treatment and Hazardous Waste Incineration Facility Contained Burn Unit High-Temperature Thermal Treatment System TNT Red Water Wet Air Oxidation Central Gas Facilities Amine Unit (DEA) Refinery Operations Water-Soluble and SolventSoluble Polymer Manufacturer Chemical Explosive Fracturing System and Field Operations Printing Ink Manufacturing Process Acid Manufacturing Operations Cycolac Catalytic Incinerators

The Safety Management Services, Inc. (SMS) approach to risk management focuses resources on addressing critical credible failure scenarios. This is accomplished by prioritizing operations/equipment based on perceived risk and material type and quantity, identifying and ranking potential hazards using qualitative methodologies, and then using quantitative methodologies to evaluate the critical scenarios. This type of review is known to industry as risk assessment or Process Hazards Analysis (PHA). These PHA services may be used independently or in conjunction with our explosive characterization, incident investigation, facility siting, and other analysis services. The following are examples of the risk assessment and hazards analysis methodologies that our personnel are trained in: Qualitative Risk Assessment Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Logic diagrams What-if/Checklist Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) Quantitative Risk Assessment Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) Probit statistical analysis In-process energy modeling Event probabilities Risk/cost trade-off SMS has unique capabilities and experience comparing in-process energies to the explosive response to the stimuli. We have developed effective methods for measuring, calculating, and/or modeling the normal and potential abnormal in-process energies in engineering units. Our methodology allows us to compare this information with the explosive response data, which is also in engineering units. SMS performs consequence analysis on incident scenarios to determine the potential effects of thermal flux, fragments, and overpressure on personnel, equipment, and facilities. Understanding the nature of potential failure scenarios, in-process energies, material response and consequences allows SMS personnel to make recommendations for process/equipment design, system operating parameters, and facility design and siting. SMS takes considerable pride in assisting our clients in identifying risk-minimizing solutions that are based on sound engineering principles and are cost effective. We can team up with your personnel to provide a thorough analysis of planned, modified, or existing processes.
