Resilience Analysis Framework for Process Design and Operations
This research deals with developing an integrated model incorporating process, maintenance, safety, and cost to:
• Predict process upset events (predictability assessment using deep learning -R, global sensitivity analysis - MATLAB, and robust simulation - gPROMS), case study – batch reactor;
• Assess cumulative risks and prioritize safety barriers during process upset situations (survivability assessment using Bayesian analysis - R, regression - R, and optimization - GAMS), case study – cooling tower;
• Reduce response time (recoverability assessment using simulation - HYSYS, Bayesian analysis - R, and optimization - GAMS), case study – offshore platform.
