2015 AIChE Annual Meeting Proceedings

Session: Ensuring Safe Process Scale up

Process Safety is critical to any chemical process and the proposed facility, whether you are synthesizing just a few kilograms or planning production of metric tons. Each step of the process and each compound needs to be assessed for safety. This assessment includes thermal stability, impact upon operator safety and the environment, and potential damage to the facility.This session will include evaluation of current and proposed protocols, relevant modeling tools and case studies.
