Study
April 2009
HAZOP Objectives
To identify hazards and operability issues
Not a design check or provide design alternative
Not to find solutions but identify problems
Not an optimisation study
Solutions may be proposed but will not be finalised
during the session
HAZOP Process
Node definition
Design Intent
Deviations
Causes
Consequences
Safeguards
Actions
Review of Node
Describe design intention, operating conditions etc.
Consider first or next guide word
Identify all causes and record
Identify all consequences and record
No
List existing safeguards and record
Agree any actions necessary
Last guide word?
Take next section
Yes
Design Intent
Description of system
Design parameters and limits
Deviations
Deviations generated by combining the parameter (or
property word) and the guide word
Parameters
Flow
Pressure
Temperature
Level
Composition
Phase
Corrosion / Erosion
Agitation
Rotation
Maintenance
Delivering sustainable solutions in a more competitive world
Guide-words
None

Part of
Typical Causes
Equipment failure
Control failure
Human error
Influence from other systems
External events such as fire or explosion
Extreme environmental events
Consequence Assessment
Consequence to be assessed without considering safeguards
Consequence category
Immediate consequence
Delayed consequence
Impact on the node under study
Impact on other sub-systems/system/unit
Impact on
Personnel Injury
Production and Equipment
Environment
Safeguards
Prevention
Design standards, basic control
Operating procedures
Indication, alarm, interlock, trip system
Mechanical protection (such as relief, material, etc)
Mitigation
Gas Detectors
Fire Fighting such as water spray system
Emergency shutdown system
Indication, alarm system, operator intervention
Evacuation/emergency plans
HAZOP Basis
Assume single failure; double jeopardy is remote
Equipment/ machinery designed, manufactured,
inspected with no defect
HAZOP Deliverables
HAZOP Study Report including actions, worksheets
and P&IDs
P&IDs marked up with node identification and
actions; retained as HAZOP Master
Design comments/ P&ID corrections if any will be
marked-up on P&ID but not recorded in HAZOP
