Our Newletters

ioMosaic’s latest ioView newsletter presents a white paper on understanding and optimizing Organizational Change Management (OCM) systems for process safety.

The Fall 2023 newsletter provides guidance and best practices for risk evaluation. Performing a full QRA of each plant is not always necessary to identify the major areas for risk reduction at the plant level. Read this newsletter for the key elements of the risk evaluation methodology and examples of typical findings.

The Summer 2023 newsletter focuses on Quantitative Risk Assessment methods, tools, and resources. Stay aware of properly identifying process safety risks. Read this in-depth guide to risk matrices and how to design an effective risk matrix for your organization.

The latest newsletter focuses on Construction Hazard Analysis (CHA) methods, tools, and resources to help the reader find an effective solution to managing construction risks. Today’s business environment is more complex than prior years making construction risk more important to manage than before.

The Spring 2022 newsletter previews a paper on the fundamentals of explosions and reviews different types of explosions; i.e., physical explosions, vapor cloud explosions, condensed phase explosions, confined explosions with reactions and dust explosions. Gain access to information on blast loading phenomena to structures

The Fall 2021 newsletter presents a paper on a simplified model for the assessment of PRV stability where the inlet line geometry is simple and/or where the inlet line acoustic length can be established. This simplified model has also been proposed in the 3rd ballot of API-520 part II.

ioMosaic's Summer 2021 newsletter topic is Predicting Runaway Reactions for Process Safety. ioMosaic presents a case study on a vapor leak involving a polymerization runaway reaction in May 2020 at an industrial facility in India, sadly leading to several deaths and several hundred injuries.

The latest newsletter from ioMosaic provides guidance and criteria for risk analysis and functional safety concepts. Previewed in this edition is the white paper Risk-Based Approach – Preventing Hazardous Scenarios.

Download the newsletter for access to tools and resources focused on chemical reactivity. Previewed in this edition is the white paper Thermal Stability Indicators, which describes several thermal stability indicators that should be provided as critical Process Safety Information (PSI) for reactive chemicals.

The Spring 2020 newsletter delivers 3 top resources on facility siting. A proper facility siting study considers explosion, fire, and toxicity risks to occupants of buildings. Facility siting risk considerations are required under the process hazards analysis (PHA) element of the process safety management (PSM) standard in the United States. Over 50% of the OSHA refinery national emphasis program (NEP) citations for PHAs were related to facility siting or human factors. Access important research on mitigating risk and stay engaged.

The Winter 2020 newsletter summarizes the 14th Annual Global Software Users Group Meeting and provides access to the presentations delivered at this event. This year’s theme ioVision 2020: Hindsight to Foresight, featured new case studies as well as innovative software solutions and best practices to enhance process safety.

The Fall 2019 newsletter presents a paper focused on the results from several PSM audits performed between 2010 and 2016 at several different Chemical Process Industry (CPI) facilities. The lessons learned from this study help us to identify operational discipline and process safety leadership and culture benefits towards minimizing or avoiding audit findings, and therefore, to contributing to an optimized and sustainable Process Safety management system.

ioMosaic's Summer 2019 newsletter topic is that 3% inlet pressure loss does not guarantee PRV stability and does not work all the time. This is confirmed by recent findings from actual PRV stability measurements and dynamic modeling.

ioMosaic’s Spring 2019 newsletter includes a white paper on the key factors that influence the mechanical integrity of a typical LNG installation, particularly at the mid to lower end of methane fluid compositions and their impacts on carbon steel.

The latest newsletter gives you access to the presentations from the 13th Annual Global Software Users Group Meeting. As a certified ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Systems (QMS) company, ioMosaic offers integrated process safety and risk management solutions to help you manage episodic risk, improve efficiency, and maintain compliance.
