Abstract :

Considering safety measures in industrial and chemical facilities is a fundamental issue. Statistical figures and facts display the great impact of industrial accidents on humans’ life as well as economic and environmental damages. Industrial accidents are amounted to high percentages of accidents around the globe. In addition, some of these damages are irreversible. Therefore, discovering and preventing these damages and assessment of the risks which lead to these damages, requires specific strategies and guidelines in addition to risk analysis in industrial units. In this research paper, risk assessment and risk analysis of utility unit of Fifth Gas Refinery of South Pars Gas Complex has been studies. HAZOP Technique has been used for risk assessment of this Unit, which has been established to detect the procedural problems, so, the existing deviation has been assessed by HAZOP team. The result of the study showed the use of experts’ recommendations from HAZOP method for risk management and increasing safety and procedural measurements of the Unit. Based on compiled expertise, utility unit efficiency depends strongly on flow and compression for this unit, since the inflow stores in reservoirs initially and distributed in this unit with a proper pressure. Therefore, it is vital to regulate these parameters as far as possible and prevent their inadequate increase and decrease. The flow circulates in system with a normal procedural pressure rate and can prevent the probable damages such as lines break down due to high sensitivity against high tension and stopping pump and unit being out of service due to decrease of flow. the most important recommendations in this study include: installation of temperature and pressure alarms in unit. Therefore, based on the obtained results from this study, unit setup guidelines and policies have been reformed.
