Synopsis
A New Approach to HAZOP of Complex Chemical Processes provides practical methods to identify and categorize chemical process complexities systematically. The book follows a holistic assessment of risks and required safeguards which enables readers to define the boundaries of HAZOP 4.0 accurately. The book is written by authors who have decades of experience in advanced process monitoring and artificial intelligence to support HAZOP teams with a holistic dynamic simulation and multivariable monitoring of the complex systems, and to assess historical failure and accident data and information using artificial intelligence techniques in a user-friendly way.
- Presents complexity assessment and management to the conventional HAZOP
- Provides multivariable monitoring to dynamic simulation for a holistic hazard identification and process safeguards requirements
- Describes AI to support the HAZOP team with code-based requirements and historical failure and accident data
- Explains AI to find the dynamic behavior of process based on empirical data without the models with simplification assumptions

Leonhard Urbas studied information technology in mechanical engineering in Technische Universität Berlin (1988-1993). He was research associate at the institute of Process and Plant Engineering in TU Berlin from 1993 to 1997. In 1998, he had topic and project responsibility in the field of automation technology at degussa AG, Hanau/Köln/Dortmund from for two years. From 2000 to 2006, he was the leader of junior research group "Bedienermodellierung in dynamischen Mensch-Maschine-Systemen" in TU Berlin. He is currently the head of the Chair of Process Control Systems and the Process Systems Engineering Group at Technische Universität Dresden, Dresden, Germany, and a professor. His research interests include engineering of distributed safety-critical systems, in particular function integration, model-driven engineering and modularization; information models of the process industry, process information and management systems and middleware in automation engineering; usability of multimodal and mobile interfaces in automation systems; Analysis, design and evaluation of alerting and support systems; methods of user modeling for prospective design of human-technology interaction.
