Rupture Disc Activation: Near Miss or PS Event
When a rupture disc activates, it represents a process deviation that must be recorded within the Safety Management System. Depending on the outcome, it may be classified as a near miss, a contained release, or an incident requiring further investigation.

Unit Operations in Chemical Engineering: Types and Examples
The five main unit operations in chemical engineering are Heat Transfer, Mass Transfer, Mechanical Operations, Fluid Transport, and Membrane Separation. These categories form the foundation of industrial processes, from energy recovery and separation to particle handling and fluid distribution.
What Is Chemical Engineering and How It Shapes Everyday Life
What Is Chemical Engineering? Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with transforming matter and energy through physical and chemical processes. It means designing, managing, and optimizing plants and operations that allow us to produce useful products on an industrial scale, like pharmaceuticals, fuels, materials, and chemicals. Chemical engineering studies can be challenging, but… Read More »What Is Chemical Engineering and How It Shapes Everyday Life
How Distillation Works: Engineering Explanation
What is the Distillation Process? Distillation is a method used to separate the components of a liquid mixture by exploiting differences in their volatility. When a liquid mixture is heated, part of it vaporizes. The vapor phase is richer in the more volatile components, while the remaining liquid becomes enriched in the less volatile ones. This… Read More »How Distillation Works: Engineering Explanation
