HAZOP is a qualitative, systematic, and structured method useful for the detailed identification of hazards and risk assessment of simple or complex process plants, whether new or existing.
The analysis of a process through this technique involves a segmented study of the process in order to thoroughly evaluate the potential effects that operational deviations may bring to the system. Additionally, it allows hazards to be identified and risks to be evaluated through the use of a RAM that takes into account the probability of occurrence and the severity of consequences in various categories of interest to the client, such as people, environment, economic, or reputational impacts.
Pryxida TECH has experienced HAZOP leaders who stimulate the critical thinking of the panel of experts to analyze design and operational elements in order to obtain clear recommendations that, when implemented, satisfactorily reduce the residual risk associated with each event to a tolerable level.
- Analysis of identified hazards and operational events.
- Recommendations with their corresponding associated evaluation.
- List of relevant notes.
- Workshop leader’s report containing the compilation of the analysis performed.
If a more in-depth risk analysis is desired, a LOPA, FRA, or QRA should then be conducted.
