    TUTORIAL 3

    1. The chemical reaction involves 2 liquids, A & B, which flow from their respective
    storage tanks into the stirred product C reactor. The flow rate of materials A & B is
    regulated by control valves A & B, respectively. The liquid phase chemical reaction
    that results is highly exothermic & generates considerable quantities of heat, which
    must be controlled by cooling water on the jacket of product C reactor. The reaction
    of materials A & B to produce product C proceeds rapidly& product C is drawn off
    from the bottom of the reactor. Product C flows through valve C into the product C
    storage vessel to await shipment. The reactor & each of the storage tanks have
    pressure-operated relief valves in case of pressure buildup during the process
    operation. Temperature, pressure and level indicator are provided in the product
    C reactor for use in controlling process chemistry.
    Carry out HAZOP study using appropriate OSHA guide words for the process
    parameter FLOW using HAZOP worksheet.

    2. Calculate the probabilities of the top event if given the component failure rate as
    shown in the table below.

    Component Failure rate


    Motor 0.05 / year
    Battery 0.10 / year
    Connectors 0.5 / year
    Switch 0.10 / year
    Human error 0.02 / year

    3. Referring to following figure, sulfuric acid is pumped from an atmospheric storage


    tank, T-1 to a pressurized process vessel, V-1.Two pumps can perform this
    service; P-1 is driven by a diesel engine; P-2 has an electric motor. During normal
    operations the system uses P-2.In the event of an emergency, P-1 can be switched
    into service. If P-2 fails, the operator has 4 minutes to switch to P-1 before a
    potential hazard occurs. There is a low-flow alarm, LA-1, to the process vessel, V-
    1. Construct Event Tree Analysis with initiating event of failure of P-2.

    4. The Fault Tree Analysis for the top event MOTOR DOES NOT RUN WHEN
    SWITCH IS PRESSES for the following diagram as shown below:

    5. Carry out the risk assessment for Q4 of tutorial 2 for the following
    a. Occupational accident cases of this company
    b. Occupational poisoning and diseases.
    6. Suggest the action that the management should be taken to reduce the risk to
    ALARP. [Hint: Control measure]
