Operational risk analysis for undesired polymerization in overhead condenser of butadiene column

An accident model based on fault tree analysis was developed and applied to analyze the recurrence of undesired reactions producing popcorn polymers in the overhead condenser of an industrial butadiene distillation column. The modeling framework incorporates reliability data associated with asset in...
