The discrete variables such as time and sequence must be considered for automating HAZOP analysis of batch processes in contrast with continuous processes. Because these variables can not be explained by the method used in the HAZOP analysis of continuous processes, we have developed the methodology for HAZOP analysis of batch processes on the basis of the relation between discrete variables and continuous ones. In this study, we have discussed the performance of the methodology on a Latex batch process to evaluate its effectiveness.

Expert system for automating HAZOP analysis of batch processes In contrast with continuous processes must consider the discrete variables such as time and sequence. So in this study, we have developed the expert system for automating HAZOP analysis of batch processes to analyse time and sequence on the basis of the relation between discrete variables and continuous ones. Because these variables can not be explained by the method used in the HAZOP analysis of continuous processes. The proposed expert system have been discussed on a Latex batch process to evaluate its effectiveness.

Hazard and operability (HAZOP) analysis is one of the safety analysis method that is used in the chemical complex, because it can systematically identify causes and consequences of all the deviation that could occur. Since this method needs to hire specialized experts, it is costly and time-consuming. Therefore HAZOP Expert System has been developed to automate this analysis. This approach introduced object-oriented method and knowledge representation which is hierarchical tree of units to supply flexibility in the system, functional semantic network, propagation equation and rule-chaining method to set up the expert system for automating HAZOP analysis.

Recently, HAZOP has been used as one of the most effective way of qualitative risk assessment for plant industries. However, this technique requires much man labor to be successfully performed. This fact enables the adequate HAZOP worksheet program to help speeding up the procedure and managing the data of analysis. Based on the experience of HAZOP carrying out, the authors focused the purpose of this study on developing a useful and comfortable HAZOP worksheet program. The unique characteristics of developed program are the menu window expressed in common steps of HAZOP, versatile edit functions, and search menu for investigating the scenario data. The tendency analysis for existing HAZOP results was performed to validate the usefulness of the developed program.

Hazard and operability Review(HAZOP) is widely used as a process safety analysis which systematically identifies potential process deviations and settles the problems. In this paper, we carried out a process hazard analysis using HAZOP in K chemical plant. As a result, we showed that the plant could be operated more safely and be saved a lot of money by eliminating several existing hazardous factors through the change of processes and designs.

Train control system require high level of safety since these are vital control system to ensure safe operation of the train. According to these reason, safety-related regulations for railway signaling systems are standardized in IEC. In Korea, many attempts are tried to procure the level to meet the international standards, but thats's efforts are beginning steps. HAZOP study is recommended for hazard analysis at IEC standards, but this method has several unsuitable problems because this method is developed in chemical plant domain. In this paper we recommend new method of HAZOP, named HAZOP-KR, which would be suitable for analyzing safety of the train control systems. An example of this method applied to real system is also included.

HAZOP analysis is a systematic method on the basis of the experts' experience and knowledge and is used for hazard identification and risk assessment by using brainstorming method. So, HAZOP analysis has been applied to major chemical industries efficiently. But it does not apply to small and midium chemical industries because of the insufficiency of the experts. Hence, in this study a new hazard identification method is proposed by modifying complexity and expertise of the HAZOP analysis and will be contributed to improve risk management for small and midium chemical industries.

Potential fire, explosion and safety hazards exist in medium- or small-scale chemical plants using radical batch reaction processes due to the various conditions of materials, works or products. To minimize the potential damage, a study was conducted on qualitative hazard analysis using the HAZOP technique, which is a typical method for a qualitative risk assessment and analysis of the potential risks encountered in these chemical plants. For this purpose, a domestic chemical plant, which produces the acrylic resin by a radical batch reaction process, was selected and a risk assessment and analysis according to the procedure of HAZOP method was performed for the process. As the result of the study, to prevent the hazard, the input of inert gas and the installation of a pressure gauge were indispensable. In addition, the initiator and monomer should also be separated, and inhibiting substances and equipment are also necessary to prevent a runaway reaction.
