I am currently working on an energy management project focused on an industrial warehouse (pulp). I am trying to understand how the warehouse is heated to estimate the energy used and suggest energy saving measures. From what I understand so far, glycol is heated either by a separate boiler (its...
When bitumen is received by an upgrading facility, it is often accompanied by salt and water. In the desalter, bitumen is washed with fresh water, and a de-emulsifier is added to assist in phase separation. I have read that salt removal is challenging because salts are trapped within a bitumen...
Thank you for providing this resource. Unfortunately, my professor is requiring us to provide something novel within a short time frame. I have read some parts of the standard, and I am wondering what the event tree would look like for the crude oil in the case study I am dealing with.
Given...
I intend to apply Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) methodology to crude oil pipelines. The methodology involves identifying potential release sources and assessing the frequency and consequences of various incident scenarios. I found a paper with a case study but I have to come up with...
@LittleInch Thanks for your response. Actually the data supports exactly what you said that no hole (ancillary equipment failure eg. valve) (8 events), rupture (7 events) and pinhole (7 events) are the significant risks of failure compared to split ( 1 event) and fissure (5 event)...
Currently, I am working on a project that necessitates a quantitative risk assessment of crude oil pipelines.
I have collected data on crude oil incidents from the CONCAWE cross country European oil pipeline. The database includes incidents for 3 types of service: crude, refined products, and...
