WORK EXPERIENCE (BP / AMOCO 1991-2009)
Relief Systems
BP’s and Amoco's Relief System Design Consultant supporting upstream, refining, and chemical segments.
Provided training classes to BP personnel and contractors on relief system design including scenario identification,
code requirements, relief requirement calculations, relief device selection, single phase and DIERS HEM two-phase
relief device, and relief piping design. Guidelines to expand/detail relief system design methods/guidance not
addressed in detail in external codes (e.g., liquid thermal expansion relief, air cooled heat exchangers exposed to
fires) were developed. Validated rupture disk overpressure protection system for injection wellhead tubing failures.
Validated and reviewed contractor methodologies and calculations to ensure consistency with external codes and
internal standards. Provided detailed QA/QC on relief and flare system designs for major projects including LNG
projects, gas production facilities, olefins units, PYA (purified terephthalic acid) plants, gas-phase polypropylene,
refinery units, FPSO, para-xylene plants, TMA facility, etc.
Flare Assessments
The design basis, performance and long-term capabilities of the problematic gas plant ground flare were evaluated,
gaps/flaws in the flare and depressuring system design along with mitigation alternatives were identified and a path
forward to resolve the problems was developed. Facilitated flare assessment for a FPSO validating the design and
identifying opportunities for improvement. Developed check list and performed gap assessments comparing with the
new API 537 standard on dozens of US refinery and chemical plant flares. Provided peer review of LNG facility
flare/relief system design that led to numerous upgrades to improve safety and reliability. Consultation support for
debottlenecking gas plants was provided in order to minimize impacts on existing flare capacity.
External Standards
The development of external standards for the petrochemical industry in the American Petroleum Institute (API)
Pressure Relief System (PRS) subcommittee was supported. As Chairman of API Std. 521 from 1998 through 2009,
the advancement of API Std-521 to include new technologies and approaches to relief/flare system design were
facilitated. The internationalization of API Recommended Practice 521 into an ISO standard 23251 that was adopted
back as an API Standard in near record time was led. The industrial community was actively engaged soliciting
opinions and comments (e.g., Fire Task force in the UK) and providing periodic updates (e.g., provided
presentations to the Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems (DIERS) User’s Group). The API task group
responsible for addressing the US Chemical Safety Board (CSB) recommendations issued to API 521 in response to
the BP TXC ISOM explosion was facilitated and an amendment to the ISO 23251/API 521 was developed and
adopted. The API committee’s response to the recommendations was presented to CSB staff in Washington.
As a member of an ASME Task Group on relief systems, the Code Case 2211 language allowing credits for
instrumentation and design in lieu of pressure relief devices (new UG-140) was implemented and guidance was
developed that provisionally allows block valves in the process paths of equipment protected by a common relief
device.
Internal Corporate Standards
A key role was played in the harmonization of BP/ARCO/Amoco heritage specifications in pressure relief and relief
disposal systems and their continuous improvement. Part of team that developed corporate guidance on atmospheric
relief, blowdown systems, overfills mitigation, and relief design documentation following the BP Texas City ISOM
Unit disaster. Guidance on design and application of depressurization systems for fire situations was developed
extending the API 521 guidance. The guidance predicted time-to-failure due to pool fire exposure based on vessel
material-of-construction and wall thickness. Assured standards not only conform to current industrial practices but

also future modifications in industrial requirements. Developed and continuously expanded the “BP Relief System
Design Guide”, a 400+ page manual on relief system design used through much of BP.
Technical Safety/Overpressure Protection Consulting
For almost 20 years, provided internal expert technical consulting (via email, phone, in-person visits) in pressure
relief systems throughout BP (upstream (gas plants, offshore platforms, FPSO, production sites), LNG, NGL,
refining (downstream), and chemicals). Consulting activities ensured code compliance, credible overpressure
scenarios are defined, characterizing relief rates applying appropriate credits where possible, sizing the relief device,
installation (piping pressure loss, layout, etc.), device selection, troubleshooting, and incident investigation support.
Provide QA/QC or peer review of relief system designs.
Atmospheric Relief
Atmospheric relief discharges were performed and supported. Tasks included performing site survey,
prioritizing relief devices based on potential hazard, conducting and managing dispersion/consequence
analyses, evaluating overfill-to-atmosphere prevention for compliance with standards, determining
mitigation measures/risk reduction measures. A methodology for evaluating atmospheric discharge of 3-
phase streams was developed.
Europe Seveso II Program Development
A program for a Belgian facility was developed for compliance with European Seveso II Major Accident
Risk Assessment regulation. The risk prioritization process and semi-quantitative approach that was
developed involved Layer of Protection Analyses (LOPA) that significantly reduced implementation cost
by focusing on equipment that posed highest potential risk. Program accepted by the Belgium Government.
Consequence Modeling/Siting
Evaluated fire, explosion and toxic effects for potential accidents involving NGL and LPG cross-country pipelines,
natural gas desiccators, storage tank farms, hot oil furnaces, reactors, depropanizer facility, truck unloading
facilities, stills, LPG bullets, spheres, steam drums, etc. In support of a corporate level emergency response
exercise, performed HEGADAS modeling on HF releases. An unsteady-state model for release rates from NGL and
LPG pipelines was implemented to evaluated effectiveness of remotely operated isolation valves spacing in
pipelines. Consequence analyses to support numerous chemical, production and refining facility PHAs using
commercial and personally developed models. Analyzed effect of water sprays for explosion mitigation on offshore
platforms. Evaluated location of process equipment including elevated and ground flares, vent stacks, storage tanks
and stills regarding potential impact to personnel and adjacent units. The need for blast-resistant control room in a
chemical plant was evaluated. Siting HAZOP studies were facilitated for a gas-phase polypropylene production
facility and a hydrogen line. Stack heights required to safely disperse hydrogen, hydrocarbons and other chemicals
during relieving episodes were evaluated.
Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA)
QRA's were performed on loss-of-containment accidents including refinery butane spheres, liquid propylene storage
and receiving systems. Risk contours were developed that illustrate the extent of flammable clouds, thermal
radiation and blast overpressure thresholds and options to reduce risk were identified. An internal course on risk
ranking of HAZOP recommendations was developed and implemented. Numerous evaluations on risk reduction
benefit of HAZOP safety recommendations were performed. Contractor QRA's on offshore oil platform fire
protection options and a PTA plant in Malaysia were reviewed and conservatisms and alternative recommendations
were identified.

Accident Investigation
As team facilitator, evaluated causes for an underground gasoline storage tank explosion and identified
recommendations to prevent future incidents. Numerous incident investigations involving failures of pressure relief
devices or flares were supported as a technical expert role.
Availability Analysis
The availability and trip frequency for a refinery's five-boiler steam plant and power recovery turbine system was
evaluated and methods to improve reliability and reduce trip frequency were identified. The availability of a
gasoline additive system and compressor system was determined. The unavailability of pressure relief devices
involving inadvertent closure of block valves was determined.
Hazard Identification
Fault Tree Analyses were performed that quantitatively evaluated the likelihood for a runaway reaction in
polypropene reactors and butane oxidation reactors (maleic anhydride), including effects of operator interaction as a
cause and prevention mechanism. Mitigation measures that significantly reduce risk were identified. Failure Mode
and Effects Analyses (FMEA) was performed on process controls for refinery furnaces, boilers and fired heaters.
Flammability Analyses
Flammability calculations were performed to determine safe operating concentrations and purge requirements for
oxidation reactions, vent systems, acetylene absorbers and flare headers. An external lab was arranged to conduct
flammability tests that were used to establish potential for a vapor cloud explosion of a mixture. Criteria were
developed for a DCS alarm that alerts operators of flammability potential in a butane sphere.

WORK EXPERIENCE (BATTELLE: 1980-1991)
HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Analysis)
Numerous HAZOPs for many petrochemical firms including a cyclohexanone production facility, an industrial
propane refrigeration system and a hydrogen production/ hydrotreating facility, etc. were led. In the HAZOPs,
process deviations or upsets which result in release of toxic materials, fires, explosions, reduced production rates,
and low quality product were identified and the need for additional process control, safety equipment or operating
procedures to reduce the likelihood and consequences of process upsets were determined/ranked.
Fault Tree Analysis
Fault tree analyses were performed for failure of propane gas compressors using as a basis accident scenarios
identified during a HAZOP and the scenarios were rank-ordered based on likelihood and identified additional
protection alternatives. Fault tree analyses were performed to determine availability a plant's foam fire protection
system.
Ethylene Oxide Production Risk Analysis
A risk analysis on an ethylene oxide production facility was supported through identification of upset conditions or
equipment failures that release toxic or flammable materials to the atmosphere and determination of the probabilities
and consequences of the releases and mitigation methods.
Hazard Analysis of Hazardous Waste Treatment Facilities
HAZOP studies of hazardous waste receiving, storage and processing facility including a rotary kiln incinerator
were supported through identification of equipment upset and operational errors which release toxic/flammable
chemicals and identification of design and operational changes which eliminate or mitigate the consequences.
Models to evaluate source terms for toxic combustion product formation, thermal radiation hazards, and boil-off of
waste from tanks during pool fires were developed and implemented. The sensitivity of consequences to type of
waste involved was evaluated and the individual risk of on-site workers was determined.
Pilot Incinerator Tests
Pilot plant tests on the incineration of BZ, a chemical warfare agent were managed. Test plans were developed to
obtain data on the minimum residence time at various temperatures and excess oxygen concentrations required to
achieve the desired destruction efficiency. Pilot plant tests were supervised at a US Army arsenal. The incinerator
data were analyzed and recommendations were made that were subsequently implemented in the design of a full-
scale afterburner.
Military Plant Design
The design of a chemical weapon demilitarization plant for the U.S. Army was supported through development of
process flow and P & I diagrams; specification of piping, pumps, tanks, utility requirements, and a liquid
incinerator; and review of drawings. A specialized fire protection system for prevention of BZ aerosol/air
explosions was designed and implemented. Material handling concepts for munitions and their disassembly were
evaluated and a preferred method recommended that was subsequently implemented.
Environmental Impact Statement Review
A risk analysis of the facility design for various disposal options for chemical weapons was critiqued and areas of
concern were identified. The potential amount of chemical warfare agent released due to fires was subsequently
estimated. Operating deviations causing chemical warfare agent releases in liquid incinerator and when processing
munitions in a metal parts furnace were identified.

Consequence Analysis of Mixing Incompatible Hazardous Materials
As Principal Investigator, evaluated the top 100 hazardous commodities transported by rail tank cars to determine if
incompatible chemicals should be segregated in a train consist. Incompatible chemical reactions and their
consequences were identified and distances to lethal limits for toxic emissions, fire balls, condensed phase
explosions, pool fires, and unconfined vapor cloud explosions were calculated using personally developed models.
A minimum segregation distance between rail cars transporting hazardous chemicals which minimize the
consequences of a derailment accident was determined.
Process Waste Minimization
As Principal Investigator, operational parameters leading to carcinogen formation during production of liquid
propellants for artillery were identified. Factorial experiments and statistically analyzed the data using ANOVA and
multiple regression were developed. Recommendations were made for the design of a scaled-up version of the
process which produces less than detectable limits of the carcinogen.
Concept Development
As Task Leader, novel methods for decontamination of chemical warfare agent contaminated facilities were
developed. Evaluation criteria were identified and the concepts were ranked in terms of safety, engineering
constraints and cost. Experimental plans for the laboratory evaluation involving actual chemical warfare agents of
the recommended concepts were developed and implemented. The engineering feasibility, effluent characteristics,
and overall effectiveness of the concepts were evaluated. A preliminary design and cost analysis for field
implementation of the most promising concepts was performed.
Minerals Processing
Bench scale experimental studies on hydrochloric acid pressure leaching of ores were performed. Technicians were
supervised, experiments were designed, and data were analyzed for application to commercial units. The
hydrothermal processing for production magnetic toners was evaluated by tests.
Feasibility Study
Experiments to produce stable hypochlorite-based bleaching powder for use as a chemical warfare agent
decontaminant were performed. Process parameters for the pilot-plant design of an aqueous method of bleaching
powder preparation involving a closed-loop operation with total recycle and no liquid effluents were determined and
a patent on the process was obtained.
Numerical Analysis
Software on implicit differential methods for unsteady-state heat conduction calculations and consequence modeling
including hazards from toxic combustion products, thermal radiation, release rates, UVCE effects, BLEVE's, and
boil-off was developed and implemented.
Military Programs
A project for development of a U.S. Air Force data base on material degradation caused by chemical agents and
their decontaminants was managed. A master plan meeting identifying future U.S. Air Force needs in chemical
warfare decontamination was facilitated. Concepts for a Chemically Hardened Air-Transportable Hospital and
decontamination techniques for a Collective Protection System were identified. The effectiveness of field
decontamination methods through laboratory tests involving actual chemical warfare agents and literature
evaluations were performed. The environmental degradation of decontaminants was evaluated.

Validated and reviewed contractor methodologies and calculations to ensure consistency with external codes and internal standards. Provided detailed QA/QC on relief and flare system designs for major projects including LNG projects, gas production facilities, olefins units, PYA (purified terephthalic acid) plants, gas-phase polypropylene, refinery units, FPSO, para-xylene plants, TMA facility, etc. Flare Assessments The design basis, performance and long-term capabilities of the problematic gas plant ground flare were evaluated, gaps/flaws in the flare and depressuring system design along with mitigation alternatives were identified and a path forward to resolve the problems was developed. Facilitated flare assessment for a FPSO validating the design and identifying opportunities for improvement. Developed check list and performed gap assessments comparing with the new API 537 standard on dozens of US refinery and chemical plant flares. Provided peer review of LNG facility flare/relief system design that led to numerous upgrades to improve safety and reliability. Consultation support for debottlenecking gas plants was provided in order to minimize impacts on existing flare capacity. External Standards The development of external standards for the petrochemical industry in the American Petroleum Institute (API) Pressure Relief System (PRS) subcommittee was supported. As Chairman of API Std. 521 from 1998 through 2009, the advancement of API Std-521 to include new technologies and approaches to relief/flare system design were facilitated. The internationalization of API Recommended Practice 521 into an ISO standard 23251 that was adopted back as an API Standard in near record time was led. The industrial community was actively engaged soliciting opinions and comments (e.g., Fire Task force in the UK) and providing periodic updates (e.g., provided presentations to the Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems (DIERS) User’s Group). The API task group responsible for addressing the US Chemical Safety Board (CSB) recommendations issued to API 521 in response to the BP TXC ISOM explosion was facilitated and an amendment to the ISO 23251/API 521 was developed and adopted. The API committee’s response to the recommendations was presented to CSB staff in Washington. As a member of an ASME Task Group on relief systems, the Code Case 2211 language allowing credits for instrumentation and design in lieu of pressure relief devices (new UG-140) was implemented and guidance was developed that provisionally allows block valves in the process paths of equipment protected by a common relief device.

Developed and continuously expanded the “BP Relief System Design Guide”, a 400+ page manual on relief system design used through much of BP. Technical Safety/Overpressure Protection Consulting For almost 20 years, provided internal expert technical consulting (via email, phone, in-person visits) in pressure relief systems throughout BP (upstream (gas plants, offshore platforms, FPSO, production sites), LNG, NGL, refining (downstream), and chemicals). Consulting activities ensured code compliance, credible overpressure scenarios are defined, characterizing relief rates applying appropriate credits where possible, sizing the relief device, installation (piping pressure loss, layout, etc.), device selection, troubleshooting, and incident investigation support. Provide QA/QC or peer review of relief system designs. Atmospheric Relief Atmospheric relief discharges were performed and supported. Tasks included performing site survey, prioritizing relief devices based on potential hazard, conducting and managing dispersion/consequence analyses, evaluating overfill-to-atmosphere prevention for compliance with standards, determining mitigation measures/risk reduction measures. A methodology for evaluating atmospheric discharge of 3- phase streams was developed. Europe Seveso II Program Development A program for a Belgian facility was developed for compliance with European Seveso II Major Accident Risk Assessment regulation. The risk prioritization process and semi-quantitative approach that was developed involved Layer of Protection Analyses (LOPA) that significantly reduced implementation cost by focusing on equipment that posed highest potential risk. Program accepted by the Belgium Government. Consequence Modeling/Siting Evaluated fire, explosion and toxic effects for potential accidents involving NGL and LPG cross-country pipelines, natural gas desiccators, storage tank farms, hot oil furnaces, reactors, depropanizer facility, truck unloading facilities, stills, LPG bullets, spheres, steam drums, etc. In support of a corporate level emergency response exercise, performed HEGADAS modeling on HF releases. An unsteady-state model for release rates from NGL and LPG pipelines was implemented to evaluated effectiveness of remotely operated isolation valves spacing in pipelines. Consequence analyses to support numerous chemical, production and refining facility PHAs using commercial and personally developed models. Analyzed effect of water sprays for explosion mitigation on offshore platforms. Evaluated location of process equipment including elevated and ground flares, vent stacks, storage tanks and stills regarding potential impact to personnel and adjacent units. The need for blast-resistant control room in a chemical plant was evaluated. Siting HAZOP studies were facilitated for a gas-phase polypropylene production facility and a hydrogen line. Stack heights required to safely disperse hydrogen, hydrocarbons and other chemicals during relieving episodes were evaluated. Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) QRA's were performed on loss-of-containment accidents including refinery butane spheres, liquid propylene storage and receiving systems. Risk contours were developed that illustrate the extent of flammable clouds, thermal radiation and blast overpressure thresholds and options to reduce risk were identified. An internal course on risk ranking of HAZOP recommendations was developed and implemented. Numerous evaluations on risk reduction benefit of HAZOP safety recommendations were performed. Contractor QRA's on offshore oil platform fire protection options and a PTA plant in Malaysia were reviewed and conservatisms and alternative recommendations were identified.

Accident Investigation As team facilitator, evaluated causes for an underground gasoline storage tank explosion and identified recommendations to prevent future incidents. Numerous incident investigations involving failures of pressure relief devices or flares were supported as a technical expert role. Availability Analysis The availability and trip frequency for a refinery's five-boiler steam plant and power recovery turbine system was evaluated and methods to improve reliability and reduce trip frequency were identified. The availability of a gasoline additive system and compressor system was determined. The unavailability of pressure relief devices involving inadvertent closure of block valves was determined. Hazard Identification Fault Tree Analyses were performed that quantitatively evaluated the likelihood for a runaway reaction in polypropene reactors and butane oxidation reactors (maleic anhydride), including effects of operator interaction as a cause and prevention mechanism. Mitigation measures that significantly reduce risk were identified. Failure Mode and Effects Analyses (FMEA) was performed on process controls for refinery furnaces, boilers and fired heaters. Flammability Analyses Flammability calculations were performed to determine safe operating concentrations and purge requirements for oxidation reactions, vent systems, acetylene absorbers and flare headers. An external lab was arranged to conduct flammability tests that were used to establish potential for a vapor cloud explosion of a mixture. Criteria were developed for a DCS alarm that alerts operators of flammability potential in a butane sphere.

WORK EXPERIENCE (BATTELLE: 1980-1991) HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Analysis) Numerous HAZOPs for many petrochemical firms including a cyclohexanone production facility, an industrial propane refrigeration system and a hydrogen production/ hydrotreating facility, etc. were led. In the HAZOPs, process deviations or upsets which result in release of toxic materials, fires, explosions, reduced production rates, and low quality product were identified and the need for additional process control, safety equipment or operating procedures to reduce the likelihood and consequences of process upsets were determined/ranked. Fault Tree Analysis Fault tree analyses were performed for failure of propane gas compressors using as a basis accident scenarios identified during a HAZOP and the scenarios were rank-ordered based on likelihood and identified additional protection alternatives. Fault tree analyses were performed to determine availability a plant's foam fire protection system. Ethylene Oxide Production Risk Analysis A risk analysis on an ethylene oxide production facility was supported through identification of upset conditions or equipment failures that release toxic or flammable materials to the atmosphere and determination of the probabilities and consequences of the releases and mitigation methods. Hazard Analysis of Hazardous Waste Treatment Facilities HAZOP studies of hazardous waste receiving, storage and processing facility including a rotary kiln incinerator were supported through identification of equipment upset and operational errors which release toxic/flammable chemicals and identification of design and operational changes which eliminate or mitigate the consequences. Models to evaluate source terms for toxic combustion product formation, thermal radiation hazards, and boil-off of waste from tanks during pool fires were developed and implemented. The sensitivity of consequences to type of waste involved was evaluated and the individual risk of on-site workers was determined. Pilot Incinerator Tests Pilot plant tests on the incineration of BZ, a chemical warfare agent were managed. Test plans were developed to obtain data on the minimum residence time at various temperatures and excess oxygen concentrations required to achieve the desired destruction efficiency. Pilot plant tests were supervised at a US Army arsenal. The incinerator data were analyzed and recommendations were made that were subsequently implemented in the design of a full- scale afterburner. Military Plant Design The design of a chemical weapon demilitarization plant for the U.S. Army was supported through development of process flow and P & I diagrams; specification of piping, pumps, tanks, utility requirements, and a liquid incinerator; and review of drawings. A specialized fire protection system for prevention of BZ aerosol/air explosions was designed and implemented. Material handling concepts for munitions and their disassembly were evaluated and a preferred method recommended that was subsequently implemented. Environmental Impact Statement Review A risk analysis of the facility design for various disposal options for chemical weapons was critiqued and areas of concern were identified. The potential amount of chemical warfare agent released due to fires was subsequently estimated. Operating deviations causing chemical warfare agent releases in liquid incinerator and when processing munitions in a metal parts furnace were identified.

Consequence Analysis of Mixing Incompatible Hazardous Materials As Principal Investigator, evaluated the top 100 hazardous commodities transported by rail tank cars to determine if incompatible chemicals should be segregated in a train consist. Incompatible chemical reactions and their consequences were identified and distances to lethal limits for toxic emissions, fire balls, condensed phase explosions, pool fires, and unconfined vapor cloud explosions were calculated using personally developed models. A minimum segregation distance between rail cars transporting hazardous chemicals which minimize the consequences of a derailment accident was determined. Process Waste Minimization As Principal Investigator, operational parameters leading to carcinogen formation during production of liquid propellants for artillery were identified. Factorial experiments and statistically analyzed the data using ANOVA and multiple regression were developed. Recommendations were made for the design of a scaled-up version of the process which produces less than detectable limits of the carcinogen. Concept Development As Task Leader, novel methods for decontamination of chemical warfare agent contaminated facilities were developed. Evaluation criteria were identified and the concepts were ranked in terms of safety, engineering constraints and cost. Experimental plans for the laboratory evaluation involving actual chemical warfare agents of the recommended concepts were developed and implemented. The engineering feasibility, effluent characteristics, and overall effectiveness of the concepts were evaluated. A preliminary design and cost analysis for field implementation of the most promising concepts was performed. Minerals Processing Bench scale experimental studies on hydrochloric acid pressure leaching of ores were performed. Technicians were supervised, experiments were designed, and data were analyzed for application to commercial units. The hydrothermal processing for production magnetic toners was evaluated by tests. Feasibility Study Experiments to produce stable hypochlorite-based bleaching powder for use as a chemical warfare agent decontaminant were performed. Process parameters for the pilot-plant design of an aqueous method of bleaching powder preparation involving a closed-loop operation with total recycle and no liquid effluents were determined and a patent on the process was obtained. Numerical Analysis Software on implicit differential methods for unsteady-state heat conduction calculations and consequence modeling including hazards from toxic combustion products, thermal radiation, release rates, UVCE effects, BLEVE's, and boil-off was developed and implemented. Military Programs A project for development of a U.S. Air Force data base on material degradation caused by chemical agents and their decontaminants was managed. A master plan meeting identifying future U.S. Air Force needs in chemical warfare decontamination was facilitated. Concepts for a Chemically Hardened Air-Transportable Hospital and decontamination techniques for a Collective Protection System were identified. The effectiveness of field decontamination methods through laboratory tests involving actual chemical warfare agents and literature evaluations were performed. The environmental degradation of decontaminants was evaluated.
