Guys,
Have seen some very good discussions and work here.
By any chance, if anyone has performed any sort of LOPC analysis, just share something which may help.
Need to just read if there is already some good work done out there.
Thanks.

There is a publication available from CCPS, "Methods to Analyze Loss of Containment Scenarios".
I would recommend you to apply those methods. Pretty useful as we used them when analyzing our case.

jeem,
I am not sure if ww2i has been understood correctly.
The publication you are recommending is the one considering LOPC scenarios while performing a process hazard analysis, and ww2i may not be looking for that.
What I understand is that he needs some kind of an analysis which might have been performed for actual LOPC cases happened at site.

Any pointers actually would support.
