Process Safety Improvement Opportunities for the Refining and Petrochemical Industries

摘要

The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) and the American Petroleum Institute (API) Advancing Process Safety (APS) Programs were developed to enhance process safety awareness and performance throughout the petroleum refining and petrochemical manufacturing industries. This past year, AFPM and API have had the opportunity to collect and analyze 664 process safety events collected through ANSI API RP 754, Process Safety Metrics for the Refining and Petrochemical Industries, 227 process safety events submitted to the AFPM Event Sharing Database, and aggregate results from 18 full API Process Safety Site Assessments program. This paper will describe the methods for collecting and analyzing data, sharing the results and developing tangible materials based on those observed results to help raise process safety awareness and performance improvements throughout industries.
