Beginning with an identified accident scenario, LOPA uses simplifying rules to evaluate initiating event frequency, independent layers of protection, and consequences to provide an order-of-magnitude estimate of risk. LOPA has also proven an excellent approach for determining the safety integrity level necessary for an instrumented safety system, an appCCPS concept book.Chemical plantsRisk assessmentElectronic books.Chemical plantsRisk assessment.660.2804660/.2804American Institute of Chemical Engineers.Center for Chemical Process Safety.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910142521703321Layer of protection analysis1416856UNINA
