A fuzzy-HAZOP/ant colony system methodology to identify combined fire, explosion, and toxic release risk in the process industries

作者：

Highlights：

• A new method is introduced to evaluate fire, explosion, and toxic release risk in the process industries.

• The method integrates Fuzzy set theory and Ant Colony System (ACS) approach.

• ACS was used to optimize the rules used in the analysis.

• The results show that the method outperforms the fuzzy set method when evaluating a gas refinery risk.

• Extended fuzzy HAZOP method was used to identify process parameter deviations.
