CHARACTERIZING IMPELLER PERFORMANCE IN STIRRED …
• Impellers in stirred tanks are pumps: – Power input and flow generated can be measured. • Impeller characteristics are rigorously quantified: – Hydraulic and Flow Efficiencies. – Maximum Energy Dissipation Rate in Trailing Vortex. • Characterization confirmed by Equilibrium Droplet and Floc Sizes generated with different impellers.

Flare System Design for Oil and Gas Installations
www.icheme.orgFlare System Design for Oil and Gas Installations Onshore and Offshore Flare Systems Gas flaring systems are installed on onshore production fields, offshore platforms, on transport ships and in port facilities, at storage tank farms and along distribution pipelines. So what are the main differences between an onshore (refinery) Flare
Principles for learning lessons from incidents – a UK ...
www.icheme.orgAn incident/accident reporting system is a key element in any system for learning lessons. If incidents are not reported, lessons cannot be learned. Therefore, to have maximum utility, an effective reporting system would encourage reporting and there would be high levels of reporting. The content and format of the information that is captured by
Flash points of aqueous solutions of flammable solvents

The approach of using a simple prediction method using the minimum of data is ideal for SMEs who often do not have access to sophisticated physical property data prediction software, and only have access to the open published literature.

Texas City Refinery explosion — safety out of focus
www.icheme.orgA lack of safety leadership meant the company focused primarily on financial performance, leading to reductions in staffing, training and safety control systems. Instituting effective safety leadership at an executive level creates a safety mind-set throughout the organisation and would have removed the “tick-the-box” mentality
