Meeting Description and Agenda
|
Recent incidents at Terra Nitrogen in Billingham and the Buncefield Oil Depot have highlighted the continued need for the prevention and containment of accidents and emergencies within our process industries. This meeting will demonstrate what is being done by both process industry vendors and end-users to minimise any abnormal situations. Plant systems, such as process control and monitoring systems, alarm and operator advisory systems and emergency shut-down systems, all need to function correctly and work together to make any response to a crisis situation as effective as possible. Topics covered will include:
| 
Damage at the Texas City Oil Refinery |
GEM Crisis Containment System |
As with all ACTC events open discussions will be encouraged to provide all delegates with an appreciation of obstacles and benefits of these technologies and the latest thinking in this important field
