Consequence Analysis & Modeling Training
October 8 - 11, 2007 - Houston, Texas

This four day course is a comprehensive discussion on the concepts and principles of consequence analysis and modeling. In addition to helping operating companies address regulatory requirements such as OSHA 1910.119 and the EPA RMP rule, this course provides guidance on how to improve chemical hazard identification and increase operating profits through better process controls, emergency response, and mitigation design. The course addresses both how and why hazardous incidents occur. Case histories and hands-on computer modeling will be employed throughout to enable participants to apply the knowledge on real plant problems.

Topics Include:

	Regulatory requirements
	Fundamentals (thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, heat transfer, combustion, transport, meteorology
	Quantitative risk analysis
	Source term characterization
	Dispersion analysis
	Fire modeling
	Large-scale test validations
	Explosions
	Case Studies

4 Day Course

Fees for course includes lunch and refreshments. They do not include hotel accommodations or travel, which are each participant's responsibility.

This one day course,  Quantitative Risk Analysis(QRA) demonstrates how the results generated through conducting consequence analysis studies can be expanded to give a full Quantitative Risk Analysis. Considers additional input required, including failure rate data, the effects of population and ignition sources, and meteorological data. Individual Risk and Societal Risk criteria are both addressed. The Quantitative Risk Analysis module provides guidance on how to conduct an effective quantitative risk analysis. The course builds upon the previous Consequence Analysis & Modeling training course and focuses on the additional aspects of quantitative risk analysis.

Topics Include:

	Risk OverView
	Stages in a Quantitative Risk Analysis
	Background Data
	Risk Mitigation Techniques
	Software for Quantitative Risk Analysis
