  • Question 13

    A process calls for the addition of a reactant over a certain period of time. The flow controller on the reactant' s feed line was out of calibration and reduced the flow rate of the reactant. The operator noticed the addition rate was too low and, contrary to the operating procedures, he opened a bypass valve around the flow control valve to increase the flow rate. As a result, the operator added the remaining reactant too quickly, and a runaway reaction occurred. Weaknesses in which of the following Risk Based Process Safety elements could have contributed to the cause of this incident? (Select all that apply)

  • Question 15

    A material had been oxidized many times, without incident, under an oxygen atmosphere in a small pilot plant vessel. While scaling up to a larger vessel, the plant engineers decided they could improve gas/liquid contact by using a more efficient feed dispersing system. This dispersing system filled the reactor ' s vapor space with a fine combustible mist. Several hours after startup, the vessel was ruptured by an internal mist explosion. The source of ignition was a small amount of catalyst left over from an earlier set of experiments. This was a phenomenon that the engineers had not considered. Which of the following risk based process safety elements could have helped prevent this incident? (Select all that apply)
