This Project Grant award, valued at $192,700 and spanning from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The award supports collaborative research at Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees) to develop a paradigm shift in process safety management by integrating online monitoring, model-based abnormality prediction, and prognostic risk control. The research aims to create a unified theory, conceptual framework, and software prototype for real-time, risk-based optimization of process safety, operability, and economics, demonstrated on a hydrogen fuel cell experimental prototype. The project also plans to incorporate findings into educational materials and recruit underrepresented and first-generation students through STEM programs. The key innovations include a multi-parametric optimization-based approach for scalable, self-adapting process safety management across diverse process systems.
