The modern batch chemical processing plants have a tendency of increasing technological complexity and flexibility which make it difficult to control the occurrence of accidents. Social and legal pressures have increased the demands for verifying the safety of chemical plants during their design and operation. Complete identification and accurate assessment of the hazard potential in the early design stages is therefore very important so that preventative or protective measures can be integrated into future design without adversely affecting processing and control complexity or capital and operational costs. Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) is a method of systematically identifying every conceivable process deviation, its abnormal causes and adverse hazardous consequences in the chemical plants.
