Underground Pipeline Leakage Risk Assessment in an Urban City.

Underground pipeline safety is a concern among civilians in populated urban cities. Due to the potential for considerable damage from underground pipeline leakages, it is critical to identify potential risk areas. This study developed a simplified risk value using risk assessment software (ALOHA) and geography information systems (SuperGIS and Surfer) to produce potential risk maps for underground pipeline leakage in a major urban city.

Studies on the runaway reaction of ABS polymerization process.

Taiwan has the largest acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymer production in the world. Preventing on unexpected exothermic reactions and related emergency relief hazard is essential in the safety control of ABS emulsion polymerization. A VSP2 (Vent Sizing Package 2) apparatus is capable of studying both normal and abnormal conditions (e.
