HAZOP Assistant
A digitised HAZOP that is always up-to-date, reduces risk and cost and improves speed and quality
Page last modified
April 25 2024
By harnessing the power of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) software and the process safety skills of our human experts, we have created a HAZOP solution that digitises the entire process.
Less time – more efficiency – less risk
By using Kairos’ XAI-driven functional digital twin, our digital HAZOP reduces the time spent on HAZOP workshops, decreasing blind spots and increasing the overall quality by using the intelligent technology – with less support required from design, operational and safety experts.
Key features
- All guide words automatically covered
- Process library with FMEA
- Tree view shows failure (initiating event) propagation to consequence
- P&ID view shows cause, deviations and consequence safeguards
- Analysis spans multiple systems - not just single nodes
- Enables plant wide HAZOP, re-HAZOP and modifications (MOC HAZOP)
- Toolbox for optimised design regarding number of sensors, actuators and safeguards
- HAZOP functional modes fully compatible with Control Room Assistant
Benefits
- Regularly updated HAZOP documentation
- Leverages learnings from incidents
- Increases quality of HAZOP
- Reduces time to re-HAZOP
- Less dependence on availability of experts
- Reduces blind spots
- Complete coverage of failure modes (FMEA)
- Operability covered with verification, mitigation and prevention tasks
- Includes alarm and trip coverage
