NSC-16-31 Risk Assessment Tool for Liquid Overfill of Process and Storage Vessels

Description:

The overview of the process that a large company uses to analyze the risk associated with liquid overfill from pressure vessels and atmospheric storage in both petrochemical and refining operations. Due to learnings from recent overfill events, a tool was developed to assess the risk of liquid overfill. This overview covers methodology and industry learnings that were used to develop a tool that is able to consistently assess liquid overfill risks across various operation types. The hope is that in sharing this information other companies may incorporate parts of the methodology or develop similar tools to identify overfill risks.
