Bi-directional connectivity diagram for accident propagation analysis considering the interactions between multiple-process units
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)An incident may propagate to an accident with different severity dependent on its propagation scenarios. Since the accident propagation is a two-way process, the current research is focusing on the one-way analysis. This ... -
Challenges and proposals for managing major accident risk through the planning process
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Major accidents are characterized by complex causal patterns with many factors influencing the occurrence of such accidents. The causes can be found not just in the execution of the work, but also in the preparations and ... -
Developing a risk-based maintenance model for a Natural Gas Regulating and Metering Station using Bayesian Network
(Journal article, 2018)During the last decades, the vital role of maintenance activities in industries including natural gas distribution system has cleared up progressively. High costs may induce to reduced maintenance and, in turn, lead to a ... -
Development of an economic model for counter terrorism measures in the process-industry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In the last few years, several events have highlighted the risk of possible major accidents triggered by terrorist attacks within chemical and process facilities. Due to the increased attention for security issues, an ... -
Dynamic risk analysis for Seveso sites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The accident that occurred in Seveso in 1976 changed our approach to risk assessment forever. For instance, it led to drafting specific European directives to prevent major accident hazards. Their focus is on industrial ... -
Factors in offshore planning that affect the risk for major accidents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The purpose of this paper is to systematically analyse a typical planning process in the offshore industry from the perspective of causes of major accidents, with the ultimate aim of identifying factors that affect the ... -
A hybrid heuristic optimization of maintenance routing and scheduling for offshore wind farms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)As the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs constitute a substantial portion of the overall life-cycle cost of offshore wind farms, routing, and scheduling of maintenance are very important for cost reduction. With the ... -
Investigating occupational and operational industrial safety data through Business Intelligence and Machine Learning
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Learning from previous events represents a crucial element to improve the design and operations of industrial processes, especially considering the many variables characterizing the functioning of a plant. This learning ... -
Maintenance of petroleum process plant systems as a source of major accidents?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The prevention of hydrocarbon leaks is of great importance as they are the most critical precursor events that may lead to major accidents on petroleum facilities. Maintenance of process components on offshore and onshore ... -
On risk-based maintenance: A comprehensive review of three approaches to track the impact of consequence modelling for predicting maintenance actions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Since gas plants are progressively increasing near urban areas, a comprehensive tool to plan maintenance and reduce the risk arising from their operations is required. To this end, a comparison of three Risk-Based Maintenance ... -
Operational data-driven prediction for failure rates of equipment in safety instrumented systems: A case study from the oil and gas industry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Safety instrumented systems are frequently deployed to reduce the risk associated with industrial activities, such as those in the oil and gas industry. A key requirement for safety-instrumented systems in standards like ... -
Optimization of recertification intervals for PSV based on major accident risk
(Journal article, 2016)Overpressure is a major hazard in the process industry with the potential to lead to a major accident. Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs) are often used as the last layer of protection against such a hazard and require regular ... -
Performance analysis of redundant safety-instrumented systems subject to degradation and external demands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Safety-instrumented systems (SISs) play a vital role in preventing hazardous events in the offshore facilities. Many of existing performance analysis of SISs are based on the constant failure rate assumption, which is ... -
Reliability assessment for final elements of SISs with time dependent failures
(Journal article, 2018)Reliability assessment for safety-instrumented systems (SISs) plays a vital role in improving the design of SISs. Traditional methods for SIS reliability assessment that assume constant failure rates are, however, not ... -
Risk information in decision-making: definitions, requirements and various functions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Inappropriate decisions are often regarded as causes of major accidents in the process industries. To improve the quality of decisions, it is important to make the right information available at the right time. The objective ... -
Risk-related information needed through the planning process for offshore activities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Planning and plan quality influence safe and efficient execution of work in offshore oil and gas activities. An important basis for developing good plans and making good decisions during the planning process is to have the ... -
Safety Barriers: Research advances and new thoughts on theory, engineering and management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Safety barriers include physical and non-physical means in different industries for preventing the occurrences of hazardous events and mitigating the consequences in case they have occurred. After clarifying the relevant ...
