hi Umeshdesh,

You need to study API 14J and 14C. These will guide in you in hazop decision making.
I used these APIs as guide during the last hazop meeting i involved in.

Hope it will help you.

I am always confused about HAZAP and HAC (Hazardous Area Compliance).
What is the different between the two?
For HAC we have always use IP15. What is API14J/C etc.

Thanks,
Awais

Hazop is used to envisage the likeable worst accident scenarios that can occur when certain part of the process system is disrupted. Scenarios such as valve blockage, leak and others.

The consequences of each scenenario, effects on processing, likeable accidents that will occur and its degree/how often such incident will occur will be given during Hazop. The degree of occurence is ranked by using the Risk Analysis Matrix.

Each of the ranking and hazop analysis is carried out on each node (i.e. sections maked out on each P&ID for consideration).

For HAC, i do not have information on that.

API RP 14J(Recommended Practice For Design And Hazard Analysis For Offshore Production Facilities & API RP14C(Recommmended Practice for Analysis, Design, Installation, and Testing of Basic Surface Safety Systems for Offshore Production Platforms).

These are API standards that you can use as a guide. I believe your company should have the APIs in their library.

I hope this explanation will give you understanding into what Hazop means.

For HAZOP you could have a look at the HAZOP Training Course here. Should be a good guide for your requirement.

If you're wanting some basic information about HAZOP then you can find a good article here.
