Cause
The reason(s) why the deviation could occur. Several causes may be identified for one deviation.
Competent
Describes an individual with knowledge and skills deemed acceptable by the EA to perform a task.
Appropriate knowledge and skill may be acquired through training, experience, qualifications, or some
combination of these.
Consequence
An outcomefrom an event.There may be one or more consequences from an event.
Design Intent
The design intent is a description of how the process is expected to behave at the node. OR
Designer’s desired, or specified range of behaviour for elements and characteristics.
Deviation
A deviation is a way in which the process conditions may depart from their design/process intent.
Guide word
Word or phrase which expresses and defines a specific type of deviation from an element’s design
intent
Hazard
Condition or practice with the potential to cause harm to people, the environment, property, or EGAS's
reputation.
Node
A node is a specific location in the process in which (the deviations of) the design/process intent are
evaluated.
Process
Any activity or set of related activities (including production, treatment, storage, use, handling, on-site
transfer) and the associated equipment and technology.
Process Parameter
Physical or chemical property associated with the process. Includes general items such as reaction,
mixing, concentration, pH, and specific items such as temperature, pressure, phase, and flow.
Process Hazard
A condition that has the potential to result in release of, or exposure to, a hazardous substances, or in
the release of energy (mechanical or chemical), which in turn can cause serious injury to personnel,
significant property damage or significant environmental harm.
Protection layer
A device, system, or action that is capable of preventing a postulated accident sequence from
proceeding to a defined, undesirable endpoint.
Reliability
The probability that an item is able to perform a required function under stated conditions for a stated
period of time or for a stated demand.
Risk
A measure of loss/harm to people, the environment, compliance status, Group reputation, assets or
business performance in terms of the product of the probability of an event occurring and the
magnitude of its impact. Throughout this Practice the term “risk” is used to describe health, safety,
security, environmental and operational (HSSE&O) undesired events.
Vulnerability
Probability that persons will suffer a specified health and safety impact level if exposed to hazard.
No Holds
HAZOP is primarily performed based on P&Ids. For This HAZOP P&IDs of Kabir Compressoion
facility were used.
The selection of each node was made jointly by the Team Members and the HAZOP Leader. To
ensure that the design intentions of each node can be easily and clearly understood, the nodes
should be selected by function. The following criteria were considered in selecting the
appropriate transition to the next node:
1. Change in design intent
2. Change in state (e.g. from liquid to vapour)
3. Major pieces of equipment
At the beginning of the HAZOP, a thorough briefing on design and operation was provided by the
Team Members as follows:
• Normal and abnormal operating conditions, as well as transient conditions, and operating
modes were described.
• The design intent which defines how a component or system is expected to operate and the
purpose of the system. This included the design flow, temperature, pressure, level, and
other relevant details.
• The design intent of each parameter was established, documented, and understood by
team members.
Selected process parameters were used throughout the study e.g. More Flow, Less Flow, No
Flow, Misdirected Flow etc. Refer to ToR for list of process parameters used in HAZOP.
Guidewords were selected and applied in turn to each parameter. At a minimum, more, less, no,
reverse, part of, as well as, and other than were considered
2.7 Causes
All potential causes were established for each deviation from intention considered. Where there
were multiple causes for each deviation. In such case, each cause was listed separately. Causes
were specifically defined using the proper equipment, instrumentation, and piping tags.
Multiple-cause events, in some instances, were considered. The cause was identified within the
node being studied. If the resulting consequence occurred outside the node, this was recorded.
If the node started from outside a battery limit, deviations from upstream and downstream
were also considered.
2.8 Consequences
The leader did challenge the HAZOP team members to identify all potential practical
consequences each cause, especially the potential for harm to people and the environment. The
discussion considered the unmitigated consequences - those consequences without giving any
credit to the safeguards (assuming all safeguards fail). Safeguards are discussed and
documented in the next step. Consequences were taken to be anything that affects:
• Health and safety of Egas workers, contractors, and offsite populations
• The environment
• Privilege to operate
2.9 Safeguards
In this step the team identified the engineered system (as defined in the P&IDs and other
engineering information) and administrative controls (such as operator response to alarms) that
can prevent or mitigate the hazard. The team should also consider whether operability is
impaired if any deviations occur or whether design could be improved to give the operator
better information or facilities to prevent/control/mitigate the hazard.
Principal safeguards (engineering and administrative controls) were recorded in the HAZOP
worksheets referencing the appropriate equipment tags. Relief valves were listed as safeguards
only. It remains to be confirmed that the relief valve size and set pressure are sufficient for the
consequence being considered.
2.10 Recommendations
A recommendation was made when the team judged that any of the following are true:
• Engineered systems and administrative controls were unlikely to prevent or sufficiently
mitigate a consequence.
• An operability concern is sufficiently severe that it requires attention.
• There is a shortfall in compliance with a regulation or company standard.
• Risk ranking of a consequence (considering all existing safe guards are in place) is un
acceptable as per egas risk matrix.
