Student will get acquainted with basic methods and procedures of safety engineering which requires incorporation of various aspects such as technical, financial and environmental which may impact the safety of the equipment.

The subject requires students to have basic knowledge of probability of random events, flowing (and outflow) of gases and liquids through pipelines; in addition to that students must possess knowledge of physical chemical properties of hazardous substances, basic phase balances of liquids – steam for pure components.

Not applicable.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Award of credit is conditioned by presentation of semester paper and active participation in seminars. In justified cases, the teacher may present an alternative condition. Test is written.

Not applicable.

Students will be introduced into prevention approach towards safety of elaborated storage or process installation. Large scale industrial accidents show results of serious mistakes in all stages of service lifetime of the equipment. This seminar presents up-to-date methods and procedures developed in hi-tech European countries and in the world for assessment of safety of individual pieces of equipment and/or whole industrial complexes.

Participation in the seminar is regularly checked. In justified cases, seminar may be substituted by an individual project (in the form of practical case study).
