Hazards 26 Conference, 24-26 May 2016, Edinburgh, UK
Bassam Burgan will be presenting a technical paper at Hazards 26, one of Europe’s leading process safety events, organised by the Institution of Chemical Engineers. He will discuss how simple objects such as instrument boxes and oil drums, found on petro-chemical plant sites, serve as reliable indicators of the explosion over-pressure at their positions in the event of a vapour cloud explosion.

International Conference on Ocean, Marine & Arctic Engineering, 20-24 June 2016, Busan, South Korea
Bassam Burgan will be presenting a technical paper at the International Conference on Ocean, Marine & Arctic Engineering, organised by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. The paper demonstrates how the use of coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian analysis of structures subjected to explosion loads can be used to minimise the weight of such structures by allowing for the interaction between the explosion load and the response of the structure. This is particularly important on weight sensitive structures such as floating oil and gas production facilities. Visit OMAE website
