Abstract

The object of this study is to integrate Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) analysis and Fuzzy Logic to improve risk assessment in the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) filling industry. the research introduces a new approach to resolve the uncertainties and imprecise information inherent in traditional risk evaluation methods. Using HAZOP, a qualitative analysis conducted by the experts of industry identifies potential process deviations and hazards, categorized by impact type such as fire, explosion, and environmental damage. Fuzzy Logic, quantifies these risks by evaluating the likelihood and consequences of accidents using linguistic variables like "high," "medium," and "low." The simulation of different parameters considers various scenarios, including the interplay of consequence severity, event frequency, and detection capability on overall risk using model fuzzy-Hazop. The results provide more precision and actionable risk assessments, showing the potential of the combination of Hazop and fuzzy logic for safety measurement in the LPG filling process. The study concludes HAZOP with fuzzy logic evaluates risks in uncertain conditions, offering an alternative for clearer, decision-making in risk-based design processes.
