Análise de risco de reator empregado na fabricação de formiato de sódio: vazamento de líquido reacional

Abstract

Automatic control systems use in the industrial environment has increased over the years. In parallel with this automation, there is a growing concern in relation to worker safety and environmental safety in industrial processes, a factor that has led to risk analysis in industries. In order to mitigate risk and accident factors, this analysis has been widely used. Considering a scenario typically found in chemical industrial facilities, the HAZOP of the continuous reactor used in the production of Sodium Formate was prepared. Focusing on the analysis of the reaction liquid leakage, considering the rupture of the reactor hull. The risk analysis was based on the methodology traditionally used in HAZOP. The results obtained in the calculations indicate that there would be a slow decrease in the level of reaction liquid in the reactor because of the mentioned deviation.
