Description Dust explosions are a very complex phenomenon. Simulating the boundary conditions of an industrial-scale Observation in a laboratory is very difficult. Therefore, discrepancy exists between experimental methods, tools, and approaches. This discrepancy has led to the absence of a reliable tool/model that can be used to reasonably scale-up laboratory observations for industrial applications. To […]

Description The issue of margin erosion will never end if distributors do not get creative—first with their pricing methods, and second with their value proposition. Issues involving pricing methods are more critical to profitability and so should be tackled right away. For many distributors, pricing decisions are completely left to individual salespeople to do in […]

Description This course covers the performance verification of Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF), including calculation of the Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD) and Spurious Trip Rate (STR). These calculations must take into account the device failure rates, system architecture, subsystem voting configuration, specified diagnostics and testing, and repair times. The PFD calculation must also take […]
