 A scenario…

Anda dan keluarga Anda sedang dalam perjalanan

dengan menggunakan mobil di tengah malam. Anda
membalas pesan teks saat mengemudi pada kecepatan
100 km / jam dan hujan turun deras. Mobil itu menabrak
lubang yang dalam dan salah satu ban Anda
berhembus.

Anda menginjak rem, tetapi karena jalan yang licin dan

benang ban mobil Anda tipis, mobil tergelincir dan
terlempar keluar dari jalan.

17
 Points to ponder

Apa penyebab kecelakaan itu?

Apa konsekuensi dari acara tersebut?

Apa yang dapat kita lakukan untuk mencegah semua hal itu terjadi?

Apa kecelakaan lain yang mungkin terjadi dalam perjalanan?

Bisakah kita bersiap sebelum kecelakaan terjadi?

 What is a HAZOP study?

 Teknik sistematis untuk MENGIDENTIFIKASI potensi

BAHAYA dan masalah operasi
 Melibatkan tim multi-disiplin secara metodis
“brainstorming” desain pabrik
 Teknik kualitatif berdasarkan “guides world” untuk
membantu memprovokasi pemikiran tentang cara
penyimpangan dari kondisi operasi yang dimaksud
dapat menyebabkan situasi berbahaya atau masalah
pengoperasian.

20
 What is a HAZOP study?

 Studi HAZOP adalah prosedur pemeriksaan.

 Tujuannya adalah untuk mengidentifikasi semua
penyimpangan yang mungkin dari cara di mana desain
diharapkan bekerja dan untuk mengidentifikasi semua
bahaya yang terkait dengan penyimpangan ini.
 Ketika penyimpangan muncul yang menghasilkan bahaya,
tindakan dihasilkan yang memerlukan insinyur desain untuk
meninjau dan menyarankan solusi untuk menghilangkan
bahaya atau untuk mengurangi risikonya ke tingkat yang
dapat diterima.

21
 Origin of HAZOP study

 HAZOP awalnya 'diciptakan' oleh ICI di Inggris, tetapi teknik ini

baru mulai lebih banyak digunakan dalam industri proses kimia
setelah bencana Flixborough pada tahun 1974.
 Ledakan pabrik kimia ini menewaskan dua puluh delapan orang
dan melukai puluhan lainnya, banyak dari mereka adalah anggota
masyarakat yang tinggal di dekatnya.
 Melalui pertukaran ide dan personel secara umum, sistem ini
kemudian diadopsi oleh industri perminyakan, yang memiliki
potensi serupa untuk bencana besar.
 Ini kemudian diikuti oleh industri makanan dan air, di mana
potensi bahayanya sama besar, tetapi dengan sifat yang berbeda,
kekhawatirannya lebih berkaitan dengan kontaminasi daripada
ledakan atau pelepasan bahan kimia.

22
Potential Hazard AND Operability
Problems

Why the big AND ?

23
Potential Hazard AND Operability Problems

Karena profil tinggi dari kecelakaan pabrik

produksi, penekanan terlalu sering diberikan pada
identifikasi bahaya untuk mengabaikan potensi
masalah operabilitas.

Namun di bidang yang terakhir inilah manfaat dari

Studi HAZOP biasanya yang terbesar.

24
 Example
 Sebuah studi ditugaskan untuk pabrik baru.
 Sekitar dua tahun sebelumnya, dan untuk pertama kalinya,
penelitian serupa telah dilakukan pada pabrik yang berbeda
di lokasi yang sama yang kemudian dalam proses
perancangan.
 Sebelum peninjauan terakhir dimulai, Manajer Produksi
menyatakan harapan bahwa manfaat yang sama akan
bertambah seperti sebelumnya, menyatakan hal itu
 "Dalam pengalamannya selama dua puluh tahun, tidak
pernah ada pabrik baru yang ditugaskan dengan begitu
sedikit masalah, dan tidak ada pabrik lain yang pernah
mencapai target produksi dan posisi impasnya dalam waktu
yang sangat singkat".

25
 Objectives of a HAZOP study
Safety Issues:
– Untuk mengidentifikasi skenario yang akan mengarah pada pelepasan
bahan berbahaya atau mudah terbakar ke atmosfir, sehingga membuat
pekerja mengalami cedera.
– Untuk memeriksa keamanan desain
– Untuk meningkatkan keamanan fasilitas yang ada dan atau yang
dimodifikasi
Operability Issues:
– Untuk memutuskan apakah dan di mana membangun
– Untuk memeriksa prosedur operasi dan keselamatan
– Untuk memverifikasi bahwa instrumentasi keselamatan berfungsi
secara optimal
– Untuk memfasilitasi permulaan yang cepat dan aman
– Untuk meminimalkan modifikasi menit terakhir yang ekstensif
– Untuk memastikan operasi jangka panjang bebas masalah

“Prevention is better than control”

26
 Philosophy – Hazard vs Operability

 HAZOP berkonsentrasi pada pengidentifikasian baik

bahaya maupun masalah pengoperasian. Sementara
studi HAZOP dirancang untuk mengidentifikasi bahaya
melalui pendekatan sistematis, lebih dari 80% dari
rekomendasi studi adalah masalah operabilitas dan
bukan merupakan bahaya.

 Meskipun identifikasi bahaya adalah fokus utama,

masalah operabilitas harus diidentifikasi sejauh
mereka berpotensi menyebabkan bahaya proses,
mengakibatkan pelanggaran lingkungan atau memiliki
dampak negatif pada profitabilitas.

27
 Definition of Hazard & Operability
 Bahaya - operasi apa pun yang dapat menyebabkan
pelepasan bahan kimia beracun, mudah terbakar
atau mudah meledak atau tindakan apa pun yang
dapat mengakibatkan cedera pada personel.

 Operabilitas - setiap operasi di dalam amplop

desain yang akan menyebabkan penutupan yang
mungkin dapat menyebabkan pelanggaran
peraturan lingkungan, kesehatan atau keselamatan
atau berdampak negatif terhadap profitabilitas.

28
 Benefits

 The circumstances when HAZOPs are likely to produce

benefits are:
– selama desain atau pemasangan pabrik atau proses baru, atau
modifikasi besar ke yang sudah ada;
– ketika ada bahaya unik seperti bahaya lingkungan dan masalah
kualitas atau biaya yang terkait dengan operasi;
– mengikuti insiden besar yang melibatkan kebakaran, ledakan,
pelepasan racun dll; dan
– untuk membenarkan mengapa kode praktik tertentu, catatan
pedoman atau kode industri tidak diikuti.

29
 When should a HAZOP be held
 Selama berbagai tahap desain pabrik
 Di awal proyek sebagai 'spesifikasi keselamatan dan lingkungan'
 Menjelang akhir definisi proses, ketika lembar Alur Proses tersedia
sebagai Tinjauan Keselamatan dan Lingkungan
 Saat P & ID berada pada tahap 'Disetujui untuk Desain' (HAZOP desain
akhir)
 Selama inspeksi lokasi konstruksi memastikan bahwa rekomendasi yang
muncul dari HAZOP atau ulasan keselamatan dan lingkungan lainnya
sedang dilaksanakan.
 Studi pra-commissioning meninjau prosedur instalasi dan melakukan
audit keselamatan konvensional
 Setelah operasional, audit pabrik dan prosedur pada interval reguler
memastikan kesadaran keselamatan yang berkelanjutan

30
 HAZOP study of existing plant

 Dapat dilakukan kapan saja

 Terutama digunakan untuk meningkatkan prosedur operasi
atau saat memodifikasi pabrik
 Kadang-kadang digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi
kemungkinan perbaikan di pabrik di mana tingkat kecelakaan
atau insiden abnormal tinggi
 Dapat digunakan bersamaan dengan audit keselamatan
instalasi
 Membutuhkan perawatan luar biasa untuk sepenuhnya
menentukan ruang lingkup dan tujuan penelitian
 Meskipun pengetahuan operasi terperinci, banyak dari
maksud desain asli sering tidak diketahui

31
 Simple Example of a HAZOP Study
Produksi Diammonium Phosphate (DAP)

Asam fosfat dan amonia dicampur, dan produk yang tidak

berbahaya, diammonium fosfat (DAP), dihasilkan jika reaksi
amonia lengkap. Jika terlalu sedikit asam fosfat ditambahkan,
reaksinya tidak lengkap, dan amonia diproduksi. Amonia yang
tersedia terlalu sedikit untuk reaktor menghasilkan produk
yang aman tetapi tidak diinginkan.
Kedua bahan kimia tersebut akan digunakan dalam jumlah
besar dan dalam bentuk pekat. Karena sifat kedua bahan
kimia yang sangat korosif, tim proyek ditugaskan untuk
menyelidiki bahaya yang ditimbulkan kepada staf dari reaksi
yang dihasilkan dari jalur penelitian 1 (jalur pengiriman asam
fosfat).

37
 HAZOP – The Critical Success Factor
 Proses HAZOP didasarkan pada prinsip bahwa
pendekatan tim untuk analisis bahaya akan
mengidentifikasi lebih banyak masalah daripada ketika
individu yang bekerja secara terpisah menggabungkan
hasil. HAZOP
 tim terdiri dari individu-individu dengan berbagai latar
belakang dan keahlian.
 Keahlian disatukan selama sesi HAZOP dan melalui
upaya brainstorming kolektif yang merangsang
kreativitas dan ide-ide baru, tinjauan menyeluruh dari
proses yang sedang dipertimbangkan dibuat.

38
 HAZOP Terminology - 1
Term Definition

Cause Alasan mengapa DEVIATION dapat terjadi. PENYEBAB

Lebih banyak dapat diidentifikasi untuk satu DEVIATION.

Comments Setiap komentar yang akan diberikan kepada

REKOMENDASI atau yang, dengan cara lain, muncul
selama sesi HAZOP.

Consequence Hasil DEVIATION, jika itu terjadi. KONSEKUENSI dapat

terdiri dari bahaya proses dan masalah pengoperasian,
seperti shutdown pabrik. Lebih banyak KONSEKUENSI
dapat mengikuti dari satu penyebab dan, pada gilirannya,
satu KONSEKUENSI dapat memiliki beberapa PENYEBAB.

39
 HAZOP Terminology - 2
Term Definition
Deviation Suatu cara di mana kondisi proses dapat berangkat dari INTENSI
mereka.
Intention / Design Deskripsi tentang bagaimana proses diharapkan untuk
intent berperilaku di Garis Studi. Ini dijelaskan secara kualitatif
sebagai aktivitas (mis., Umpan, reaksi, sedimentasi) dan / atau
secara kuantitatif dalam parameter proses, seperti suhu, laju
aliran, tekanan, komposisi, dll.
Keyword/ Sepatah kata singkat untuk menciptakan imajinasi
Guideword PENYELESAIAN INTENSI. Set Guidewords yang paling banyak
digunakan adalah: TIDAK, LEBIH, LEBIH KURANG, SERTA
BAGIAN, DARI LAINNYA DARI DAN KEMBALI. GUIDEWORDS
diterapkan, pada gilirannya, untuk semua PARAMETER, untuk
mengidentifikasi DEVIASI yang tak terduga dan kredibel dari
INTENTION.

40
 HAZOP Terminology - 3

Term Definition

Parameter Parameter yang relevan untuk kondisi proses, mis.,

Tekanan, suhu, komposisi, dll.
Study Line/ Node Lokasi spesifik dalam proses di mana (penyimpangan)
niat proses dievaluasi. Contohnya mungkin: pemisah,
penukar panas, scrubber, pompa, kompresor, dan pipa
yang saling terhubung dengan peralatan
Recommendation Kegiatan yang diidentifikasi selama studi HAZOP untuk
tindak lanjut. Ini dapat terdiri dari perbaikan teknis dalam
desain, modifikasi dalam status gambar dan deskripsi
proses, langkah-langkah prosedural yang akan
dikembangkan atau studi mendalam lebih lanjut yang

41
 HAZOP Terminology - 4
Term Definition
Fasilitas yang membantu mengurangi frekuensi kemunculan
Safeguard DEVIATION atau untuk mengurangi KONSEKUENSI-nya. Pada
dasarnya ada lima jenis SAFEGUARDS:
Fasilitas yang mengidentifikasi DEVIATION. Ini terdiri, antara
lain, instrumentasi alarm dan deteksi operator manusia.
Fasilitas yang mengkompensasi DEVIATION, mis., Sistem
kontrol otomatis yang mengurangi umpan ke kapal jika terjadi
pengisian berlebih (kenaikan level). Ini biasanya merupakan
bagian terintegrasi dari kontrol proses.
Fasilitas yang mencegah DEVIATION terjadi. Contohnya
adalah gas selimut lembam dalam penyimpanan zat yang
mudah terbakar.
Fasilitas yang mencegah eskalasi DEVIATION lebih lanjut,
mis., Dengan perjalanan (total) kegiatan. Fasilitas-fasilitas ini
seringkali saling terkait dengan beberapa unit dalam
prosesnya, seringkali dikontrol oleh komputer logis.
Fasilitas yang membebaskan proses dari DEVIATION
berbahaya. Ini termasuk misalnya: katup pengaman tekanan
(PSV) dan sistem ventilasi. 42
 HAZOP Terminology - 4
Term Definition
Action – Jika penyebab yang dapat dipercaya menghasilkan
konsekuensi negatif, harus diputuskan apakah beberapa
tindakan harus diambil. Pada tahap inilah konsekuensi dan
perlindungan terkait dipertimbangkan. Jika dianggap bahwa
tindakan perlindungan memadai, maka tidak ada tindakan yang
perlu diambil, dan kata-kata untuk efek tersebut dicatat dalam
kolom Tindakan.
– Tindakan terbagi dalam dua kelompok:
–Tindakan yang menghilangkan penyebabnya.
–Tindakan yang mengurangi atau menghilangkan konsekuensi.
– Sedangkan yang pertama lebih disukai, itu tidak selalu
mungkin, terutama ketika berhadapan dengan kerusakan
peralatan. Namun, selalu selidiki menghapus penyebabnya
terlebih dahulu, dan hanya jika perlu mengurangi
konsekuensinya. 43

The basic HAZOP guide-words are:
Guide-word Meaning Example

No (not, none) None of the design intent is No flow when production is

achieved expected
More (more of, higher) Quantitative increase in a Higher temperature than desired
parameter
Less (less of, lower) Quantitative decrease in a Lower pressure than normal
parameter
As well as (more than) An additional activity occurs Other valves closed at the same
time (logic fault or human error)
Part of Only some of the design Only part of the system is shut
intention is achieved down
Reverse Logical opposite of the design Back-flow when the system
intention occurs shuts down
Other than (Other) Complete substitution – another Liquids in the gas piping
activity takes place

64
 Additional guidewords

Guide-word Meaning
Early/ late The timing is different from the intention

Before/ after The step (or part of it) is effected out of sequence

Faster/ slower The step is done/not done with the right timing

Where else Applicable for flows, transfer, sources and

destinations

65
 Process parameter

 Process parameter may generally be classified into the

following groups:
– Physical parameters related to input medium properties
– Physical parameters related to input medium conditions
– Physical parameters related to system dynamics
– Non-physical parameters related to batch type process
– Parameters related to system operations
These parameters are not necessarily used in conjunction with guide-words
• Instrumentation
• Relief
• Startup/ shutdown
• Maintenance
• Safety/ contingency
• Sampling

68
 Guidewords + Parameter

Some examples of combinations of guide-words and parameters:

 NO FLOW
– Wrong flow path – blockage – incorrect slip plate – incorrectly fitted return
valve – burst pipe – large leak – equipment failure – incorrect pressure
differential – isolation in error
 MORE FLOW
– Increase pumping capacity – increased suction pressure – reduced
delivery head – greater fluid density – exchanger tube leaks – cross
connection of systems – control faults
 MORE TEMPERATURE
– Ambient conditions – failed exchanger tubes – fire situation – cooling
water failure – defective control – internal fires

69
 Causes of Deviations – 3 Types

 Human error - which are acts of omission or commission by an operator,

designer, constructor or other person creating a hazard that could
possibly result in a release of hazardous or flammable material.
 Equipment failure - in which a mechanical, structural or operating failure
results in the release of hazardous or flammable material.
 External Events - in which items outside the unit being reviewed affect the
operation of the unit to the extent that the release of hazardous or
flammable material is possible. External events include upsets on
adjacent units affecting the safe operation of the unit (or node) being
studied, loss of utilities, and exposure from weather and seismic activity.

70
 Consequences & Safeguards
 All consequences of any credible causes of a release that
are identified by the group must be determined in order to:
– help to determine a risk ranking in HAZOPs where multiple hazards are uncovered
by the group so that priority can be established in addressing the hazard.
– help make the determination as to whether a particular deviation results in an
operability problem or hazard.
 If the team concludes from the consequences that a particular
cause of a deviation results in an operability problem only, then
the discussion should end and the team should move on to the
next cause, deviation or node.
 If the team determines that the cause will result in the release of
hazardous or flammable material, then safeguards should be
identified.

71
 Consequences & Safeguards

 Safeguards should be included whenever the team

determines that a combination of cause and consequence
presents a credible process hazard.

 What constitutes a safeguard can be summarized based on

the following general criteria:
• Those systems, engineered designs and written procedures that are
designed to prevent a catastrophic release of hazardous or
flammable material.
• Those systems that are designed to detect and give early warning
following the initiating cause of a release of hazardous or flammable
material.
• Those systems or written procedures that mitigate the
consequences of a release of hazardous or flammable material.

72
 HAZOP Study Reporting
 The report must be placed with the HSE Assessment and Control of Work and will largely consist
of the record sheet(s), however, the following information should be included:  

– An outline of the terms of reference and scope of the study.

– A very brief description of the process which was studied
– The procedures and protocol employed.  The Keyword combinations applied should be listed,
together with the explanatory meanings given to the team at the start of the study.  Also the
fact that Action Sheets have been produced and responses will be recorded should be
explained.  A brief description of the Action File (described in the following section) should be
included.
– General comments.  If, for example, the team were assured that high point vents and low point
drains would be universally provided, mention that statement and its source.  If certain details
of vendor packages were not available, explain and list the items which were not reviewed.
– Results.  This usually states the number of recommended actions.
– Appendices:
• Master copies of the drawings studied.
• Copies of technical data used.
• Cause and Effect charts (i.e. matrices showing the executive action of safety related instruments
and trips).
• Any calculations produced.
• Relevant correspondence between departments, from contractor to vendor, or client to contractor.
– HAZOP study record sheets

73
 HAZOP Study Action Follow-up

 An addendum to the HAZOP report, to be

issued when the actions have been completed
 Deviations from the original intent should be
noted
 Major changes may require a follow-up
