HAZOP Study – Process and Utility Safety Assessment
A HAZOP Study (Hazard and Operability Study) is a structured risk analysis method used to identify hazards and operational issues in industrial facilities. It supports process safety, operational reliability, and regulatory compliance across chemical, oil & gas, power, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing industries. The study systematically evaluates deviations from normal operating conditions to identify potential causes, consequences, and preventive measures.
Process HAZOP: Identifies risks in reactors, heat exchangers, piping, and storage systems by analyzing deviations in flow, pressure, temperature, and composition.
Utility HAZOP: Evaluates safety and reliability risks in steam, cooling water, compressed air, fuel gas, and electrical utility systems.
Conclusion
A comprehensive HAZOP Study helps minimize operational risks, improve plant safety, ensure regulatory compliance, and support safe, efficient, and sustainable industrial operations.
