a) Mixer 1 (Stream 1, 2 & 3)

Purpose: To mix feed stream 4, 5 and 6 before entering to the reactor 1.

Objective: To ensure all of the reactants being mixed together before reactor.

Table 7.2: Control system for Mixer 1
Control variables Disturbances Action Set Point
Flow rates of
stream 4,5 and 6
entering the mixer
Temperature and
flow of effluent
Control flow rate of
stream 4,5 and 6 by
control valve
Total flow rate
entering mixer 1 =
1932.71 kmol/hr





















HAZOP Studies On Reactor 1- 'Reaction'

Key
Word
Deviation Possible Causes Consequences Action Required
NO Reaction - Catalyst fails
to operate
- Low
temperature and
pressure
- Lack of feed
materials
-No products
-Reactants build-up
- Recover catalyst
on time
- Train operator
to handle the
problem
- Install
temperature
indicator
-Install feed
stream flow rate
indicator
MORE Reaction - Temperature
too high
- More reactants
-Hot spots
-Explosions
-Loss of control
- Install feed
stream control
valve
- Install HTA
LESS Reaction - Less catalyst to
operate
-As NO - As NO
