Application of the digraph method of fault tree construction to process plant
journal contribution
posted on 2008-10-30, 12:47 authored by J.D. Andrews, J.M. MorganThis paper describes the digraph method of fault tree construction and its application to the process stream of a butane vaporiser. It is shown that an accurate, well-structured fault tree can be produced for a process system which incorporates a number of control loops.
