About this document
Design Errors in Chemical Accidents by Predrag Raskovic is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document analyzes major chemical process accidents to determine the contribution of design errors. The analysis found that 79% of accident cases were contributed to by design errors. The most common design errors were poor layout (17%), insufficient consideration of chemical reactivity and incompatibility (16%), and incorrectly chosen process conditions (16%). Many design errors originated in the basic (32%), detailed (32%), and preliminary (22%) design phases of projects. Errors made early in fundamen
