Introductory Example - HAZOP

This document provides an introductory example of a HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study) for a simple process plant. The process involves pumping materials A and B continuously from supply tanks into a reactor to form product C. For safety reasons, material A must always be in excess of material B in the reactor to avoid an explosion hazard. The document walks through applying guidewords like "no", "more", and "less" to various process parameters like flow, temperature, and pressure to identify potential hazards.

2 Description of the Process
 Consider a simple process plant, shown in the Figure.
 Materials A and B are continuously transferred by pump from their respective
supply tanks to combine and form a product C in the reactor.
 Suppose that A always has to be in excess of B in the reactor to avoid an
explosion hazard.
 A full design representation would include many other details such as the
effect of pressure, reaction and reactant temperature, agitation, reaction time,
compatibility of pumps A and B, etc. but for the purposes of this simple
illustrative example they will be ignored.
 The part of the plant being examined is shown in bold
