CPD Assignmnet 3 (CH-16059)

This document contains an assignment for a chemical engineering student to conduct a Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study on a benzene storage system. The HAZOP study identifies possible deviations for lines, tanks, pumps related to properties like temperature, pressure, flow, level and composition. For each possible cause, the study lists potential consequences and recommended actions to address the hazards.

BATCH 2016-2017
Chemical Plant Design - (CH-402)

Name:Osama hussain Roll no: CH-16059

Assignment # 3: Taxonomy Level C5 (05 marks)


Submission deadline: January 12, 2020

Review the benzene storage system shown in figure in which benzene enters tank T-l01 through a
4-in. line L-l01 and is subsequently pumped out through pumps P-101A and B at 35 atm into a 3-
in. line L-102. By using the relevant guide words develop HAZOP study on the benzene storage
system
HAZOP FOR LINE L-101
Guide Word Property Possible Cause Possible Action Required
Consequence
LESS Temperature Low ambient Benzene can freeze 1.Heating coil
temperature installation
2.Install feedback
line
MORE Temperature 1.More Ambient Benzene can vaporize1. Install Cooling
Temperature Jacket
2.High Benzene Install feedback line

NO Flow 1.Valve malfunctioning Process will not Level alarm
2.Empty source start installation

MORE Flow Valve malfunctioning Pipe can be Flow alarm should be


fractured installed
Valve will break
REVERSE Flow Pump Failure Negative pressure in Non return Valve
Tank should be installed
AS WELL AS Impurities 1.Damage on pipe 1.Pipe inside surface 1.Line Priming
surface can be damaged 2.Filter should be
2.Contaminated feed 2.Improper Heating applied before the
or cooling exit of pipe

HAZOP FOR TANK T-101
