Abstract
Fault-dynamic modeling has been applied for analysis of a potentially hazardous situation in a benzene chlorinator. Traditional fault-tree a nalysis is used to determine the combinations of component failures th at can lead to a particular process upset condition. Realistic dynamic -modeling is then used to calculate the time available for corrective action once the upset has started. The result of the analysis shows th e time required for reaction runaway (temperature excursion toward 500 K) is about 1.9 hours.
