Session: Process Safety for Sustainability Projects and Operations

As existing units and plant equipment are built or repurposed for lower BTU fuels (e.g., H2), circular polymer processes are developed, and new processes and unit operations are designed and implemented, the application of process safety practices is imperative to responsibly manage the change, such as higher pressures and chemical reactivity concerns. This session welcomes sharing of good process safety practices that address the unique challenges of sustainability projects and operations. Sustainability-related case studies and examples of applying process safety elements such as inherently safer design, HAZOP, management of change, risk-based inspections, facility siting, emergency response, etc. are encouraged.
