DEVELOPMENT OF PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR WATER-NATURAL GAS SEPARATION SYSTEM

The purpose of this dissertation is to introduce and record the development of
Process Safety Management System (PSMS) for the Water-Natural Gas Separation
System ofUTP Baromia Project. The objective of the project is to develop the PSM
system along the fourteen elements (6 Process Elements and 8 Database Elements)
for CompressorV-470 and Water Tank V-450 with accordance to OSHA PSM
Standard 1910.119. Problem pertaining to Process Safety Management Systems in
the current practice of PSM implementation is it does not fully involve all of its
fourteen elements and there are still no tools that can integrate all the PSM elements
into one practical and effective system where all the information of the company is
available to be maneuvered. There are basically many scope of work which ranges
from creating Process Elements for equipments, improvising the PSM interface using
Microsoft Visual Basic and completing the other Database Elements needed for the
system to comply with the standards provided by the safety administration. The
methodology of this project revolves around seeking information from literatures,
developing the framework for each element, developing the interface for the system
and fmally gathering data for the compressor V -470 and Water Tank V-450.
