Assignment Safety

1. A study was conducted on a node reactant in a reactor. The process parameter of temperature was higher than normal or cooling started later than usual. Agitation was also lower than normal. 2. Possible causes included failures in the cooling water valve, thermocouple, controller valve, or mixer. Possible consequences depended on the specific cause but included thermal runaway, explosions, production of byproducts, and interrupted production. 3. Recommended actions to address the issues included installing temperature alarms, backup cooling valves, check valves, interlocking the feed line, and ensuring valves fail closed during power loss.
