Unit VII Case Study
Read the incident scenario, and write a response that is at least three pages in length. Your response must include answers to the questions being asked. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced. Paraphrased and/or quoted materials must have accompanying in-text and reference citations in APA format.
Scenario:
You are the Refinery Emergency Response Coordinator for an incident at the SJV Refinery, which has been in operation since 1966. The refinery processes 120,000 bbls of crude oil per day, which has a sulfur content of 2.5 percent. The refinery converts crude oil to naptha, light oil, and heavy oils using the Atmospheric/Vacuum Distillation Unit with key equipment such as the following:
·
naptha, kerosene, gasoline, and diesel hydrotreaters;
·
isomerization unit;
·
naptha reformer;
·
fluid catalytic cracker;
·
coker;
·
hydrocracker;
·
polymerization unit (petrochemical section of the refinery polymerizing olefin gases to produce polyethylene);
·
sulfur recovery Claus plant (catalytic reactors); and
·
distillate/gasoline blending tanks
The refinery was initiating work on a major plant turnaround at the time of the incident to complete required maintenance repairs, mechanical integrity inspections, and modifications to existing equipment. Twenty contractor companies (approximately 150 employees) have been contracted to perform this work under the direction of refinery staff. All of the contractor workers completed the refinery orientation training.
Work for the contractor crews is assigned/scheduled each morning. On the day of the incident, the day-shift (6 am to 6 pm) crew had been tasked with isolating the acid gas feed stream for the Claus unit. Due to other work priorities, the crew did not isolate the line as planned. A shift turnover for the night contractor crew did not happen due to mandatory safety training that delayed their arrival at the worksite. Upon their arrival at the work site, the night crew held a job safety analysis (JSA) review of the scheduled task (line breaking of the acid gas feed line to replace a segment) to be performed and the hazards present. No pressure gauges or monitoring was present to indicate that the acid gas feed line was operational. The crew initiated the line breaking activity (open the line to the atmosphere) at approximately 7:45 pm under self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), which almost immediately resulted in the uncontrolled release of acid gas. A nearby ignition source from a welding operation ignited the flammable gas. The following actions were initially taken:
·
The evacuation alarm was sounded and the refinery emergency response team (ERT) was activated.
·
The plant manager and the local fire department were notified of the incident.
·
The incident command was established at the refinery office near the main refinery access gate to the south (this is the furthest distance within the refinery boundary from the incident loca.

Sulfiding of Sour Shift Catalyst
Feedstock's from the gasification of coal or heavy oil contain high levels of sulfur.
Conventional iron-chrome catalysts are not suitable
“Sour” or “Dirty” shift catalysts were developed.
These catalysts achieve maximum activity in the sulfided state.
Require treatment with Sulfur prior to start-up.
Can only be used in streams that contain sufficient sulfur to maintain them in this state

Challenges in Rebuilding and ReconstructionA small community is de.docx
Challenges in Rebuilding and Reconstruction
A small community is devastated by a flood, and the historic Main Street of the community suffers severe damages. The community has been experiencing economic hardship for the last decade and many argue that this disaster represents an opportunity to gentrify Main Street with parks, walkways, and bike paths. This reconstruction also offers an opportunity to improve the community’s economy with new buildings and businesses. However, there is a good deal of opposition to this plan because of the historical nature of Main Street. Opponents argue that the installation of walkways, bike paths, parks, and new buildings is incompatible with the historical nature of Main Street. The extent to which emergency managers and city officials decide to rebuild or reconstruct will vary depending on individual community needs.
For this Discussion, review the Learning Resources for this week. Reflect on why historical properties and landscapes are important to people and communities. Consider the implications related to rebuilding and reconstructing after a disaster event specifically as it applies to historic structures.
Post
a brief explanation of two or three challenges that officials might face in deciding whether to rebuild or reconstruct historic and cultural structures after an emergency event.
Be sure to use the Learning Resources and current literature to support your response.

cenario: Additional Details
As the system administrator, you are always looking for ways to improve your network. Although there are many different types of operating systems, there are many versions of the operating systems, as well. After much research, you have decided that proprietary operating systems would not fit well in a health care facility. An open-source operating system may be a better fit. Your company is currently using a proprietary operating system.

CDHPsA new type of third-party-reimbursement healthcare payment pl.docx
CDHPs
A new type of third-party-reimbursement healthcare payment plan is emerging in the United States. CDHPs strive to control costs and improve quality of care by requiring consumers to take control of their own healthcare decisions. Consumers decide how they want to spend their healthcare dollars, depending on what is important to them. CDHPs are geared to encourage participants to enroll in some type of wellness program and improve their lifestyles. Specific types of CDHPs are health reimbursement accounts (HRA), flexible spending accounts (FSA), and health savings accounts (HSA).
However, there are concerns about CDHPs. The consumer may neither understand nor have the education and the tools to manage his or her own healthcare appropriately. This may have long-term ramifications on the whole healthcare system and whether CDHPs can be successful for the consumer, the employer, the physician, and the healthcare facilities, as well as the insurers. Answer the following questions in regard to this development:
Are CDHPs more geared toward the healthier and younger population?
Are they effective for patients with chronic illnesses?
Will they discourage the use of preventative care and cause increased healthcare costs in the future?
After examining the above questions in your analysis, work around the following instructions and create a 8- to 10-page Microsft Word document:
Summarize the history of when, how, and why CDHPs were developed.
Explain HSA, HRA, and FSA with examples.
Examine different segments of the population. Describe which socioeconomic group is likely to benefit the most from CDHPs.
Explain the types of incentives to providers for efficiency in the delivery of healthcare services. Explain who bears the financial risk—the provider, the patient, or the CDHP.

CC is a previously healthy 27-year-old man admitted to the critical .docx
CC is a previously healthy 27-year-old man admitted to the critical care unit after an accident in which he was hit by a car and dragged along the pavement for nearly 100 feet. He suffered a frontal contusion, fractured clavicle and ribs, and extensive abrasions on his arms, legs, side, back, and buttocks. On admission, he was tachycardic, hypotensive, unresponsive, and ventilating poorly. He was placed on a mechanical ventilator and given IV fluids for the treatment of his shock. CC responded well to fluids, with an increase in blood pressure and an improvement in urine output.
Based on his case history and responsiveness to fluid therapy, what type of shock was CC experiencing?
What other clinical findings would be helpful in confirming the type of shock? Why?
Because of his many open wounds and invasive lines, CC is at risk for sepsis and septic shock. What clinical findings would suggest that this complication has developed?
What is the link between sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS)?

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Catherine OwensRead the incident scenario, and write a response th.docx
- 1. Catherine Owens Read the incident scenario, and write a response that is at least three pages in length. Your response must include answers to the questions being asked. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced. Paraphrased and/or quoted materials must have accompanying in-text and reference citations in APA format. Scenario: You are the Refinery Emergency Response Coordinator for an incident at the SJV Refinery which has been in operation since 1966. The refinery processes 120,000 bbls of crude oil per day, which has a sulfur content of 2.5 percent. The refinery converts crude oil to naptha, light oil, and heavy oils using the Atmospheric/Vacuum Distillation Unit with key equipment such as the following: · · naptha, kerosene, gasoline, and diesel hydrotreaters; · · isomerization unit; · · naptha reformer; · · fluid catalytic cracker;
- 2. · · coker; · · hydrocracker; · · polymerization unit (petrochemical section of the refinery polymerizing olefin gases to produce polyethylene); · · sulfur recovery Claus plant (catalytic reactors); and · · distillate/gasoline blending tanks. The refinery was initiating work on a major plant turnaround at the time of the incident to complete required maintenance repairs, mechanical integrity inspections, and modifications to existing equipment. Twenty contractor companies (approximately 150 employees) have been contracted to perform this work under the direction of refinery staff. All of the contractor workers completed the refinery orientation training. Work for the contractor crews is assigned/scheduled each morning. On the day of the incident, the day-shift (6 am to 6 pm) crew had been tasked with isolating the acid gas feed
- 3. stream for the Claus unit. Due to other work priorities, the crew did not isolate the line as planned. A shift turnover for the night contractor crew did not happen due to mandatory safety training that delayed their arrival at the worksite. Upon their arrival at the work site, the night crew held a job safety analysis (JSA) review of the scheduled task (line breaking of the acid gas feed line to replace a segment) to be performed and the hazards present. No pressure gauges or monitoring was present to indicate that the acid gas feed line was operational. The crew initiated the line breaking activity (open the line to the atmosphere) at approximately 7:45 pm under self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), which almost immediately resulted in the uncontrolled release of acid gas. A nearby ignition source from a welding operation ignited the flammable gas. The following actions were initially taken: · · The evacuation alarm was sounded and the refinery emergency response team (ERT) was activated. · · The plant manager and the local fire department were notified of the incident. · · The incident command was established at the refinery office near the main refinery access gate to the south (this is the furthest distance within the refinery boundary from the incident location). ·
- 4. · The refinery ERT incident commander implemented actions required under the approved refinery emergency response plan. · · The ERT was not able to immediately isolate the acid gas feed pipeline. · · The fire department arrived on location and assumed the incident command of the event. Additional Relevant Information: · The refinery encompasses an area measuring 2000 feet by 1400 feet. The Claus unit is located in the most northern part of the refinery, approximately 1350 feet from the main refinery access gate to the south. The polymerization unit is operating directly adjacent to the Claus unit. BOS 3640, Interactions of Hazardous Materials 3 · · The nearest residential community is located approximately 1000 feet to the northeast of the refinery. ·
- 5. · A plastic recycling plant is located along the south fence boundary of the refinery. · · A major interstate highway runs directly parallel to the plant, approximately 1/4 of a mile directly north of the refinery. · · The ambient temperature on the day of the incident was 85 ° F and the wind was blowing at 7 mph from the southwest to the northeast. · · Work crews were scheduled to work 12-hour shifts, 24-hours a day, to complete the refinery turnaround. · · Due to the age of the refinery, SJV has implemented a robust mechanical integrity program. · · The refinery has a trained ERT that can respond to incidents.
- 6. · · Fixed water monitors are present throughout the refinery to extinguish refinery equipment fires. The refinery ERT does not fight fires past the incipient stage. · · The refinery has received notices of violation (NOVs) from the local air district in the past several years due to gas and liquid leaks from piping components, such as valves, compressor/pump seals, and for excess sodium dioxide (SO 2 ) emissions related with their sulfur plant. · · Due to historical discharges of organic compounds, groundwater monitoring wells are present down gradient of the facility. Groundwater underlying the plant has historically been encountered at 30 feet below ground surface. · · Hydrogen sulfide is present in the acid gas feed to the Claus plant. The H 2 S concentration of the acid gas feed is approximately 70 percent by volume. H 2

S and sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) have the following physical properties: Physical Property H 2 S SO 2 Specific Gravity at 68 o F (20 o C) 1.54 1.4 Vapor Density (Air=1) 1.18 2.22 Flashpoint -116 o F (-82.4 o C) Not Applicable Autoignition Point 500 o F (260 o C) Not Applicable Lower Explosive Limit 4.3% Not Applicable
- 8. Upper Explosive Limit 46% Not Applicable IDLH 100 ppm 100 ppm Questions: 1. Discuss the hazards posed by the interaction of the hazardous materials present at the refinery and adjacent facilities, including the resulting by-products of the incident fire and acid gas release. 2. As the lead refinery representative on the unified incident command (UIC), what actions should be taken by the UIC to respond to this incident (please consider all receptors). 3. If the polymerization unit is engulfed in the fire, how will this affect your response? 4. All emergency responders participated in the post-incident critique. What corrective actions should be implemented by the refinery to prevent the reoccurrence of this incident?
