Webinar: Beyond siting studies: Using advanced modelling techniques to resolve PHA action items

About The Webinar

Process Hazard Analyses (PHAs) are assessments conducted by asset managers and operators that help in making decisions to improve safety in a facility. These assessments are conducted in the design, operation, and modification of processes to reduce the potential of unintended hazardous releases. Many times, however, these qualitative assessments need to be evaluated further with quantitative assessments to better assert mitigation strategies.

This webinar covers a few examples of how PHA items are evaluated further using advanced modeling techniques in LNG facilities. Using 2D and 3D modeling tools allows asset stakeholders to better plan and prepare for plant activities while taking the necessary mitigation measures to reduce operational risk.
