    HAZOP Study
    ‘Systemati c technique to IDENTIFY potenti al  HAZard and OPerati ng problems’

     A qualitati ve technique based on “guide words” to help provoke thoughts


    about the way deviati ons from the intended operati ng conditi ons can lead to
    hazardous situati ons or operability problems.
     HAZOP is basically for safety.
     Hazards are the main concern.
     Operability problems degrade plant performance (product quality,
    producti on rate, profi t).

    Objective of HAZOP
    For identi fying cause and the consequences of perceived operati ons of equipment
    and associated operator interfaces in the context of the complete system.

    How and Why HAZOP is Used


     HAZOP identi fi es
    potenti al hazards,
    failures and
    operability
    problems.
     Its use is
    recommended as a
    principal method
    by professional
    insti tuti ons and
    legislators based
    on proven
    capabiliti es for
    over 40 years.
     It is most eff ecti ve
    as a team eff ort
    consists of plant
    and designers,
    operati ng
    personnel, control
    and
    instrumentati on
    engineer etc.
    Guide words for HAZOP study

    Guide Word Deviation Example

    NONE or NO No part of the intenti on is No forward fl ow when it


    achieved should be

    MORE Quanti tati ve increase in Higher pressure, fl owrate


    physical quanti ty and temperature

    LESS Quanti tati ve decrease in Lower pressure, fl owrate


    physical quanti ty and temperature

    MORE THAN All intenti ons achieved but Impuriti es in fl ow


    with additi onal eff ects

    PART OF Only some of the intenti ons One or more components of


    are achieved. the mixture is missing

    OTHER THAN A result other than Unusual circumstances


    intenti on is achieved

    REVERSE Exact opposite of intenti on Reverse fl ow


    is achieved

    Strength of HAZOP
     HAZOP is a systemati c, reasonably comprehensive and fl exible.

     It is suitable mainly for team use where by it is possible to incorporate the


    general experience available.

     It gives good identi fi cati on of cause and excellent identi fi cati on of criti cal
    deviati ons.

     The use of keywords is eff ecti ve and the whole group can parti cipate.
