Mitigating the Risks of Energetic Facilities by Cleaning Internal Surfaces

Abstract

The article deals with the mitigation of risks of energetic facilities caused by contamination of internal surfaces. To ensure reliability of facility, the internal surface must be cleaned and process of cleaning must be safe, which means that risk of process must be acceptable. For process risk determination, the checklist is used. The experiment shows chemical cleaning of the exchanger. In spite of ensuring the cleaning process safety, for achievement of acceptable risk of exchanger, which required by valid standard, the cleaning process must be carried out twice.

Methodology for Implementation of Process Safety Management into Experiment Life Cycle

“…For practice the methodology in the presented form is unacceptable and a fundamental change of experiment procedure must be done. Published papers [41,42] show successful application of this methodology.…”
