Chemical Process Quantitative Risk Assessment

This document discusses quantitative risk assessment for chemical processes. It defines risk as the consequence of an event multiplied by its frequency. Layers of protection analysis (LOPA) is used to determine if sufficient protections exist for a predicted accident scenario and whether the associated risks can be tolerated. LOPA lies between qualitative and quantitative risk assessment methods.

Quantitative Risk
Assessment
CHE 1007 Safety and Hazard Analysis
Concept
• A measure of human injury, environmental damage or economic loss
in terms of both the frequency and the magnitude of the loss or injury
• Risk = Consequence x Frequency
• Measurable
• When measure a risk
• measure damage to a property
• how badly did a person get hurt
• what is the cost of damage/injury
• likelihood or probability of this hazard
Concept
Layers of Protection
• Layers of Protection are used to enhance the safe operation
• Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA) is used
• to determine if there are sufficient layers of protection for a predicted
accident scenario
• Can the risk of this scenario be tolerated?
• Causes are also known as Initiating Events
Layer of protection
analysis - LOPA
• methodology for hazard evaluation and
risk assessment
• LOPA lies between the qualitative
(characterized by methods such as HAZOP
and what-if) and the quantitative
(characterized by methods using fault
trees and event trees) end of the scale
• Assigning priorities to recommendations
• Developing safety requirement
specifications for safety instrumented
systems
• Company’s risk-decision criteria
Concept
• Risk – A measure of human injury, environmental damage or
economic loss in terms of both the frequency and the magnitude of
the loss or injury.
Quantifying Risk
• If more than one type of receptor can be impacted by an event, then
the total risk from an undesirable event can be calculated as:
