SAFER_TRACE_v10.2 One of the challenges of managing a chemical facility is the ongoing need for process safety improvements. Plants are continually required to revalidate major incident assessments and, as plants age, standards of compliance tighten. Shareholders expect efficient and cost-effective maintenance but traditional Process Hazard Analysis studies are costly and time intensive. TRACE is a set of consequence assessment solutions that allow rapid visualization of a potential failure involving airborne hazardous material. It allows engineers to study how incremental mitigation techniques may improve safety and help them focus on what must be put in place to mitigate the hazard. This, in turn, helps assess the value and need to conduct an intensive process hazard analysis. TRACE incorporates an intelligent wizard feature that allows the user to easily and rapidly describe a scenario. Once processed, results can be viewed in tabular or graphical formats. Output information can be exported to other applications like word processors, spreadsheets and presentation managers.
