The National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $350,000 Project Grant to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to develop computational strategies for identifying rare and abnormal safety events at chemical manufacturing plants. The research team will apply path sampling and dynamic risk analysis techniques to uncover conditions leading to plant shutdowns or accidents from unanticipated events. They will design new multi-variable real-time alarm systems and test them using historical operating data from steam-methane reforming processes to understand how rare paths to failures initiate. This work aims to enable more reliable safety actions in response to unexpected abnormalities, prevent large financial losses and injuries, and save lives. The project is scheduled to run from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025.
