Abstract

ABSTRACT AN operability study has been performed to identify the latent risks in a grain processing and handling facility. The methodology which had been devised to examine the design and operation safety of chemical plants is applied here to the operation of grain processing and handling facilities. The study presents the results of analyzing the bucket elevator subsystem of a grain elevator for the purpose of identifying potentially dangerous conditions. Possible causes and consequences of component failures or improper operating conditions in the bucket elevator subsystem are systematically identified and corrective actions that are required to improve the safety of the subsystem are presented.
