There has been a trend indicating we have increased pump seal leaks over the year.
We as Operations with support of other sections are evaluating what could be the causes.
What are the indicators which we should be looking into while properly evaluating them?

While the assessment criteria and financial thresholds have been fine-tuned, the fundamental architecture of the standard remains intact.
The industry standard four-tier pyramid continues to be the foundation of API RP 754:
Tier 1 (Lagging): Major losses of primary containment with the greatest ...

There is significant overlap, especially for engineers with strong process/operations experience, but Process Safety Engineering and Process Control Engineering are fundamentally different disciplines. Think in this way, that Process Control keeps the process within its normal operating envelope ...

What are the basic reasons of having rubber expansion joints within the piping with or without control units?
Just need to know that if at one place they are without any control units, what are the reasons?

A very good reference.

The statement "reduce pressure to improve fractionation efficiency" is not universally true.
What improves is primarily the thermodynamic ease of separation, because relative volatility often increases. But actual column efficiency also depends on tray/packing hydraulics, mass-transfer efficiency ...

We have already implemented automated cooling water return sample points / VOC analyzers (e.g., EPA Method 311 / El Paso Method) to have an early detection.
And that is the actual process safeguard that should be in place.

Dashboards have been in the reports now a days to support implementation of agreed actions.
Companies are investing to have visibility of systems and the actions coming out of them.
Risk ranking these actions should be the basic thing to do. 800 actions in progress would not provide any idea where ...

Thanks.

In a reactor runaway temperature excursion, protection is based on the Layers of Protection Analysis concept.
Ideally, multiple independent layers should respond in sequence before the situation escalates into vessel overpressure, loss of containment, or explosion.
I have attached a typical ...
