Implementing inherently safer design in an existing plant
Although the best time for implementation of inherently safer design alternatives is during early process development and plant design, there are often opportunities to modify an existing plant to significantly enhance inherent safety. We will describe a modification to a bromine raw material handling facility, replacing an existing bulk storage tank with cylinders. Incident consequence analysis and quantitative risk analysis were used to understand the relative inherent safety characteristics of the design options. © 2005 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Process Saf Prog, 2006
A study of the factors which affect the fold kinematic activities has been presented,through the design analysis,the sensitivity of acceleration vs.design was obtained.According to the sensitivity,the lengths of linkage and crank were determined as design variables.The optimization technique was applied to an ADAMS Model so as to minimize the value of acceleration.The result showed that the value of jerk was also improved while the value of acceleration was optimizing.It will improve the vibration properties and be the foundation of dynamics simulation later on.
