What is HAZOP?

• AHazard and Operability (HAZOP) study is a structured

and systematic examination of a planned or existing process or
operation in order to identify and evaluate problems that may
represent risks to personnel or equipment or prevent efficient
operation. A HAZOP is a qualitative technique based on guide-
words and is carried out by a HAZOP team during a set of
meetings.

BACKGROUND

The HAZOP technique was initially developed to

analyze chemical process systems but has later been
extended to other types of systems.

Where is HAZOP used?

HAZOP is used in a wide variety of industries and

sectors including but not limited to:
• Chemicals & Petrochemicals
• Oil & Gas including refining
• Power Generation
• Mining & Metals
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing
5
When to perform a HAZOP?

• The HAZOP study should preferably be carried out

as early in the design phase as possible - to have
influence on the design.
• When the final P&ID are available.
• During construction and installation to ensure that
recommendations are implemented.

HAZARDS

 Fire and Explosion

 Reactive Chemicals Incidents
 Toxic Exposure
 Corrosion
 Radiation
 Vibration
 Mechanical Hazards

HAZOP procedure

 Divide the system into sections (i.e., reactor, storage)

 Choose a study node (i.e., line, vessel, pump, operating instruction)
 Describe the design intent
 Select a process parameter
 Apply a guide-word
 Determine cause(s) 8
 Evaluate consequences/problems
 Recommend action: What? When? Who?
 Record information
 Repeat procedure (from step 2)

HAZOP Training

It is essential thatall team members including the

leader are adequately trained in the HAZOPtechnique.
• Remember: Garbage In= Garbage Out
• If the team is not trained then the HAZOPmay have
no value, in fact negativevalue!(because the plant
owner is lulled into a false sense of security)

should have done that
HAZOP Study!
A scenario…

• You and your family are on a road trip by using a car

in the middle of the night. You were replying a
text message while driving at 100 km/h and it was
raining heavily. The car hits a deep hole and one of
your tire blows.

• You hit the brake, but due to slippery road and your
car tire thread was thin, the car skidded and was
thrown off the road.
15
Points to ponder
• What was the cause of the accident?

• What was the consequence of the event?

• What can we do to prevent all those things to happen in the

first place?

• What other possible accidents might happen on the road trip?

Can we be prepared before the accident occurs?
