Shout Out – Process Safety For Oil And Gas Facilities


This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be  hosting a talk on the 20th September, 2011. It’ll be at 9:30 pm  (makan-makan at 9:00). You still gotta climb those steps at Wisma IEM.

Process Safety Management has been a critical subject in recent years due to the many accidents and disasters with devastating consequences resulting in loss running into billions of dollars. It is an application of management principles and systems to the identification, understanding and control of process hazards. The talk will provide an understanding of process safety for the oil and gas facilities that include the process units, utility units and the equipment modules. Overpressure protection systems, failure cases and pressure devices for various systems within the plant will be explained and discussed. Some introduction to process safety methodologies and mitigation measures will also be elaborated upon to provide the audience with a working knowledge of Process Safety in the oil and gas facilities.

    Wata,
    This will be an excellent talk; I want to attend it. However, the date coincides with BERSIH rally. There will be roadblocks every where. It will take hours for me (and other people) to reach Wisma IEM and to go back home. I would like to suggest this talk to be postponed to another date in the near future.

      Fariz: The talk date has been fixed. Come earlier, and after the talk spend time at Pizza Hut, Lotus Cinema, Amcorp Mall. As the saying goes, where there’s a will…
