Concentrated casing damage has appeared in local area of Changyuan Oilfield in Daqing, which severely leads to substantial economic losses. Therefore, a casing damage early-warning model is established after an in-depth analysis of geological and…
The chapter discusses such important concepts for process safety as hazard, risk, and probability of an undesirable event. Evaluating and calculating process safety is based on probabilistic techniques. The necessary information from probability…
The success of blockchain-based solutions, not only on a large scale, but since the beginning of the pilot phase, depends on a set of key factors such as performance, efficiency, usability, scalability. In particular, security, privacy and trust are…
This paper presents a risk assessment in a health IoT system by applying a methodology focused on privacy, security, safety, resilience and reliability. OCARIoT is an IoT system under development that comprehends a variety of components from the…
This paper presents an IIoT systems risk assessment methodology focused on privacy, security, safety, resilience and reliability. The methodology is composed of ten phases that comprehends the risks elements to calculate the probability of a threat…
Understanding the future of multi-vector energy networks in the context of the transition to net zero and the energy trilemma (energy security, environmental impact and social cost) requires novel interdisciplinary approaches. A variety of challenges…
Carbon emission has been widely studied in transportation research in general, yet research on carbon emission specifically in hazardous material transportation remains surprisingly limited. This study presents a multi-objective model for locating…
In recent years the oil extraction rate in North America has had ascending trend resulted in numerous accidents such as what happened in 2013 in Lac-Megantic. On the other hand, the pipelines capacity for transfer of hazardous materials is not enough…
In this work we present a study based on two methods D-HIGRAPH and HAZOP methods applied for the LPG storage tanks in SKIKDA refinery which is considered as the most important refinery in Algeria. Several recommendations raised from our study to…
In recent years the oil extraction rate in North America has had ascending trend resulted in numerous accidents such as what happened in 2013 in Lac-Megantic. On the other hand, the pipelines capacity for transfer of hazardous materials is not enough…
Corrosion is a major threat to safety and asset integrity in oil and gas production and processing facilities. This paper proposes a simple, yet practical model for quantitative corrosion risk assessment from safety and economic perspectives. This…
In the last couple of decades, studies have examined the potential environmental risks associated with reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) management through a range of approaches. Variable risk assessment methodologies and uncertainty on RAP behavior…
This study introduces a hybrid approach that merges a fuzzy HAzard and OPerability (fuzzy-HAZOP) technique, an Ant Colony System (ACS), and fuzzy set theory to evaluate the coupling of fire, explosion, and toxic release risk in the process…
The process industry operates in high risks and hazardous environments that impose significant risks on workers' lives, assets-loss, and operational environments. Using the digitalized method for analyzing risk in the process operations to identify…
Engineering and design are integral to every form of energy production and usage. This article considers various roles from concept to end-of-process stages from the standpoints of risk, reliability and resilience.
Railroad is one of the primary transportation modes for hazardous materials (hazmat) shipments in North America. Designing an emergency response network capable of providing commensurate response is one of the primary levers to contain (or mitigate)…
Corrosion is a major threat to safety and asset integrity in oil and gas production and processing facilities. This paper proposes a simple, yet practical model for quantitative corrosion risk assessment from safety and economic perspectives. This…
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in river sediments in China have been extensively investigated. However, most previous studies only reported information about specific locations. As a result, the distribution and changes of these chemicals in…
The COVID-19 pandemic has an adverse impact on the global trade supply chain. Countries where the economy is driven by global trade, either as exporters or importers and are faced with the problem of declining imports and exports. This is due to the…
