Course Synopsis:

This course covers the fundamental of process safety specifically toxicology, industrial hygiene, sources model, fires and explosions as wells as relief concept design. The students are also exposed to hazard identification, risk assessment and accident investigation. The course will be concluded with biohazard and biosafety in bioprocess.

​

Course Outcomes:
Ability to analyze the source, toxic release and dispersion models and evaluate the significance of the events.
Ability to distinguish fires and explosion as well as examine ways to prevent it.
Ability to evaluate relief concepts as well as calculate or sizing the relief system.
Ability to propose and evaluate process safety to identify the hazard and risk in the industry.
