Executive Summary The Rutherford Appleton Laboratories (RAL), of the Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils (CCLRC), is building an experimental physics facility which includes a hydrogen system. The aim is that this hydrogen delivery system may be upgraded to be the first (of three) MICE (Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment) hydrogen systems.
This report presents the results of a HAZOP study, which took place on 31 May 1 J une 2006, of a proposed R&D Hydrogen Delivery System. This is a model system capable of being upgraded to be the first hydrogen system in the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE). The R&D system incorporates a test cryostat which mimics the final absorber system of the full MICE.
During the HAZOP study 25 Recommendations (Actions) were made by the HAZOP team as constituting a potential improvement to the existing design. In addition as part of the HAZOP process a risk ranking was applied for each principle hazard identified.
The main hazards identified were associated with a dropped load onto plant or equipment and external fire in the MICE Hall. The likelihood of the hazards identified in study should be reduced further following corrective action in line with the recommendations raised during the HAZOP.
To confirm the improved safety of the system the report recommends that a second HAZOP would assist in confirming the robustness of the final design.
There are several HAZOP recommendations which relate to the consideration of additional instrumentation or engineered modifications to enhance the safety of the system. The impact of these modifications on the overall probability of failure of the system prior to implementation can be achieved by carrying out fault tree analysis on both the current design and the modified design and thus highlight the level of improvement afforded by the redesign this is suggested as a way forward.

1 Introduction The Rutherford Appleton Laboratories (RAL), of the Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils (CCLRC), is building an experimental physics facility which includes a hydrogen system. The aim is that this hydrogen delivery system may be upgraded to be the first (of three) MICE (Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment) hydrogen systems.
An internal safety review at RAL has recommended that the project carry out a full HAZOP and FMEA study on the hydrogen system. This report presents the results of a HAZOP of the proposed model hydrogen delivery system and recommendations on appropriate way forward in the development of a robust safety case for the design which may include FMEA, fault tree, event tree or consequence analysis.
This report presents the results of a HAZOP study which took place on 31 May to 1 J une 2006.
2 Process and Equipment Description The R&D Hydrogen Delivery System is a model system capable of being upgraded to be the first hydrogen system in the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE), which will ultimately use three independent hydrogen systems. The R&D system incorporates a test cryostat which mimics the final absorber system of the full MICE.
The main components of the R & D system are:
Control system Hydrogen delivery system Test cryostat with liquid hydrogen test chamber Buffer vessel Vacuum pumps Ventilation system 2.1 Control System The control system will be based on EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System), a data acquisition and control system. Normal control (operations) of the hydrogen delivery system involves the following: Purging the delivery system with helium; Filling the hydrogen absorber in the test cryostat with liquid hydrogen from the hydride bed Controlling the liquid hydrogen level in the absorber Emptying the hydrogen absorber and returning the hydrogen back to the hydride bed.
Additionally it will be necessary to charge the hydride bed with hydrogen at the outset, and following any maintenance on the hydride bed. 2.2 Hydrogen Delivery System (Metal Hydride Storage Unit) The hydride bed is used to store hydrogen in the safe form of a metal hydride compound. When warmed the bed evolves hydrogen gas, when cooled, it absorbs hydrogen. Heating and cooling is affected by the use of a water circulating loop from a heater/chiller unit.
2.3 Test Cryostat with Liquid Hydrogen Test Chamber The test cryostat contains two chambers, one simulates the [MICE] absorber volume (22L) and the other is a condensing pot (2L). The condensing pot is large enough to accommodate the expansion of the hydrogen from the absorber volume over its operating range. In addition the absorber base plate incorporates a simple heat exchanger. Hydrogen from the hydride bed is condensed and allowed to drip into the absorber volume. 2.4 Buffer Vessel The buffer vessel (1m 3 ) is a device to prevent rapid pressure rises and hence provides improved safety over just a piped system. 2.5 Vacuum Pumps There are two sets of pumps for the MICE R&D system; one is used for maintaining the test cryostat vacuum, and needs to be purged due to the potential presence of hydrogen, and the other is used for purging the hydrogen delivery system. Both of these are vented through the dedicated extraction system and are located outside the building. (Note: There are no hydrogen detectors available for use in vacuum systems, so it will be necessary to locate all hydrogen detectors in the pump exhausts, venting/purging lines, and extraction hood). 2.6 Relief Valves As the pressure rises the first stage is to vent the absorber back into the hydride bed. If the hydride bed is unable to cope with the flow rate then a secondary system vents the hydrogen into the hydrogen ventilation line where it is vented outside the hall. Hydrogen sensors will give a warning. In addition to the relief valve a burst disc gives further protection on this circuit.
Relief valves are also located on the cryostat volume in case of loss of hydrogen into this area.
The valves, are fitted with backflow preventers, as the outlet pressure will at times exceed the inlet pressure (e.g. when purging the system) and the valves are not designed to withstand a back-pressure. 2.7 Ventilation The gas panel, buffer volume and hydride bed are situated under an extraction hood that exhausts outside the building. Nitrogen gas is continually fed into the line, to dilute any hydrogen gas that might be present, and thus reduce the risk of a flammable mixture being present in the hall as well as to prevent the ingress of air into the system. 2.8 Sensing Equipment In addition to those plant items included above additional safety features are included:
Temperature sensors for measurement and control of some aspects of the process (e.g. control & measurement of the cryocooler cold head) Level sensors for use in the test cryostat. There are 3 level sensors installed one in the condensing pot and two in the absorber, thus the level of hydrogen can be monitored continuously.
Hydrogen and oxygen sensors will be installed where appropriate (e.g. the venting lines, the hood and buffer vessel)
3 HAZOP Purpose/Objectives The primary objective of the HAZOP study is to identify the causes, consequences and existing safeguards for credible hazards.
The hazards and operability issues identified will be used as the basis for the proposed safety case.
4 HAZOP Scope The HAZOP scope was defined by the plant and processes outlined within the layout drawings identified in Reference 1. The intention was to confine the HAZOP study to design and normal operation of the R&D Hydrogen Delivery System.
5 HAZOP Process The Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study technique is a widely recognised and well- established method of safety review. It is used in a wide range of industries, including process chemicals, oil and gas and nuclear, as a technique for hazard identification and problems which may arise preventing safe and efficient operation. It was originally intended for use with new and/or novel technology where past experience was limited. However, it has been found to be very effective for use at any stage of a plant's life from design on. Optimally, from a cost viewpoint, it is best applied for new plants when the design is firm or for existing plants when a major redesign is planned. In these cases any recommended process changes can be made at minimum cost.
The methodology involves a structured, systematic and comprehensive examination of process flow sheets, flow diagrams, plant/facility layouts or procedures in order to identify potential hazards and operability problems. The study is undertaken by a multi-disciplinary team familiar with the process undergoing examination and a chairman who should be independent of the design project. The role of the chairman, who must be experienced in the application of the HAZOP technique, is to guide and encourage the study team through the examination process to identify all possible hazard scenarios. The team also requires a secretary to formally record the discussions and findings of the study. HAZOPs, thus, provide a method for individuals in a team to visualise ways in which a plant can malfunction or mal-operate. This creative thinking of individuals has to be guided and stimulated in a systematic fashion by the use of prompt words to cover all imaginable malfunctions and mal-operations.
6 Methodology The R&D Hydrogen Delivery System design is shown in Reference 1. To facilitate the HAZOP process, the individual process steps for construction and normal operations were reviewed and subsequently grouped to define the HAZOP nodes. A short Briefing Note was made available in advance of the HAZOP meeting that listed the Nodes and Keywords to be used [Ref. 2].
The nodes used during the HAZOP are shown in Table 1. These nodes were subject to the HAZOP study process.
The nodes were examined for deviations from the overall design intent using standard HAZOP methodology by the application of a series of keywords. Where a keyword was not applicable to a particular node or no additional hazards were identified relevant to the keyword, this was noted as such in the worksheets. The list of keywords used is given in Table 2.
Having identified the consequences and any existing safeguards, the team made a decision as to whether this is tolerable by using a simple risk ranking scale to score the severity and the likelihood of the scenario. If it was not considered tolerable, then a recommendation was made which should reduce the severity or the frequency of the consequence being realised. Each recommendation was allocated to a member of the HAZOP Team, who will be responsible for addressing the issues raised outside the HAZOP meeting.
The meeting discussions were recorded interactively by the secretary on a PC via dedicated software (PHAWorks 5.04). The HAZOP team viewed and agreed the record live by means of a projection system connected to the PC in the meeting room and hence the HAZOP worksheets effectively represent the minutes of the meeting. The HAZOP worksheets are presented in Appendix 4.
Risk ranking process for the identified hazards and operability issues were undertaken in accordance with Table 3.
Where additional information was required or changes to the concept design were considered by the HAZOP team as constituting a potential improvement, actions / recommendations were raised or comments made.
7 Discussion During the HAZOP Study 25 Recommendations (Actions) were made. The Recommendations have been extracted from the worksheets and included in Appendix 3 in expanded form to be stand alone.
As part of the HAZOP process a risk ranking was applied for each principle hazard identified. Any hazards that were missed have been assessed subsequently based those captured during the sessions, these are indicated in italics.
The assessed severity of the (unmitigated) hazards was spread between hydrogen explosions/fires (1 and 2 respectively) and small gas leaks (ingress or egress) and operational issues (5 and 6 respectively). Those identified as severity 1 or 2, which may be regarded as the main hazards are tabulated below see Table 3 for severity/likelihood descriptions.
CAUSE (plus Comment) S L RECOMMENDATION 7. Operator opens PV17 during operations (This cause is just one example of inappropriate action within the system) 1 4 8. Review operational sequencing for inappropriate actions 35. Fans fail to switch to high speed mode under accident conditions (Only an issue for a very high release from the cabinet) 1 5 34. Failure of ventilation fans 1 5 3. Dropped load from crane (This recommendation appropriate to all nodes) 2 3 4. Review appropriate methods of crane operating areas 5. and 26 External fire in the MICE Hall 2 3 7 and 19. Assess ignition sources around the hydrogen generation unit 15. Emergency venting of Hydrogen 2 4 11. Review access to roof 8. Failure of Hydride storage unit 2 5
In addition it can be seen that the likelihood of these events, with the exception of dropped load and fire, have been assessed as unlikely or very unlikely with current safeguards in place. The likelihood of the hazards listed above should be reduced further following corrective action in line with the recommendations.
One area where the HAZOP was unable to explore in great depth was the computerised control system which has been claimed as a safeguard on at least one occasion and discussed during the sessions as preventing certain actions from being taken. This has resulted in a recommendation (no.13) to verify that the control system complies with international standard IEC61508 on the Functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety- related systems.
8 Recommendations The hazards associated with the hydrogen delivery system can be reduced further by the satisfactory implementation of the outcome from the recommendations HAZOP action sheets have been included at Appendix 5 to help facilitate this process. To confirm the improved safety of the system, a second HAZOP should be conducted on the final design.
It is important that the software interlocks be defined and incorporated into the control system and included as part of the final HAZOP. In addition the software should be compliant with IEC61508.
There are several recommendations which relate to the consideration of additional instrumentation or engineered modifications with a view to enhancing the safety of the system. It may be prudent to assess the impact of these modifications on the overall probability of failure of the system prior to implementation. This can be achieved by carrying out fault tree analysis on both the current design and the modified design. This will highlight the level of improvement afforded by the redesign. Clearly if the redesign proves to offer little improvement in system reliability, potentially costly modifications can be avoided.
