Safety and Hazard Management in Process Industries: A Comprehensive Guide

Safety and hazard management is crucial for process industries to ensure business and operational reliability. The large diversity of chemical operations, processing conditions, and equipment makes hazard identification and management challenging work. This article will provide a compressive guide on safety and hazard management in different process industries to make a well-informed decision for operators and engineers about which approach might be most appropriate to choose as per the process nature.

Standard Methods Used in the Oil and Gas Industry for Pipeline Drying

1 Introduction After hydrotesting, water that remains inside of pipes will speed up corrosion and change the fluid’s purity. To guarantee their pipes operate as effectively as possible, all operators must endeavor to pipeline drying after hydrotesting. Drying of pipes prevents water from breaking down normally, leaving space for ground pipework and fluctuations in flow rate. […]

Waste Plastic Fuel: Analysis of Materials and Methods

Due to the increase in demand and increased rates for power and energy resources, engineers are trying different methods to produce fuel from hydrocarbons. Though most of the efforts are emphasized on biofuel, a small portion of efforts are also focused on producing fuel from waste plastics.

Virtual Pipelines

We discuss the process of supplying natural gas to a consumer who is neither connected directly to the main pipeline nor is able to acquire gas supplies through a local distribution company.

Trends in O&G Bioremediation

Bioremediation is the practice of converting harmful substances to environmentally safe products by the action of microorganisms.

Tank and Vessel Cleaning

Tanks and vessels have many uses within the oil and gas universe, including storage, decanting, product isolation for analysis, and chemical reaction systems. There are methods for cleaning residues and ensuring continued operation in a safe and efficient manner.
