Abstract

Hazard assessment techniques and multi-sensor fusion are used for intelligent systematic monitoring. Firstly, a hazard identification technique is considered using failure mode and effect analysis and advantages of using a combined hazard technique is discussed. Data sources are identified considering component failures and some sensors associated with potential failure. Possible consequences in a hazardous situation are identified using failure mode and effect analysis to choose suitable safety measures. Failure mode and effect analysis is systematically considers how sequences of events can lead to accidents by looking at components and faults recorded by sensors and anomalies. Data were presented based on their threat levels using a traffic light color code system. Refineries use sensors to observe the process of crude refining and the monitoring system uses real-time data to access information provided by sensors. Understanding hazard assessments, sensor multi-fusion and sensor pattern recognition in a distillation column could help to identify trends, flag major regions of growing malfunction, model risk threat of a crude distillation column and help to systematically make decisions. The decisions could improve design regulations, eliminate anomalies, improve monitoring and reduce threat levels.
