OCT 2017 PARADIGM SHIFT FOR CA PETROLEUM REFINERIES PSM/CALARP & MAXIMIZING HAZOP/LOPA QUALITY    TH-A2

SpeakersSteve Maher
ObjectiveUnderstand key elements of new PSM/CalARP Requirements for CA Petroleum Refineries, with an emphasis on human factors and facility applicability. This presentation will focus on tuning team sessions and documentation to maximize quality, with an emphasis on optimization for MOC/PSSR and DMR.
DescriptionState-PSM and CalARP requirements applicable to California refineries were finalized and made effective on October 1, 2017. Cal/OSHA's requirements are driven by a separate PSM regulation focused on petroleum refineries, and CalEPA/CalOES requirements include a new program level (Program 4), initially applying primarily to petroleum refineries. The course will focus on understanding and regulating these requirements. Although PSM, requiring a good-quality PHA, was promulgated in the United States in 1992, and HAZOP Study techniques date back to the mid-1970's, the HAZOP Study technique (and companion techniques such as LOPA) can still present challenges in consistently applying PHA in a high-quality fashion. This presentation will identify ways to maximize quality, with an emphasis on optimization for MOC/PSSR and DMR.

ObjectiveThis session will provide the history of the closure of a bulk field constructed underground storage tank facility.
DescriptionConventional environmental groundwater remediation methods usually include physical means to clean up contamination sources, such as excavation, pump, extraction, bury, and burn. Coming into 21st century, the remediation industry starts to emphasize sustainability in site cleanup, which requires consideration of lower use of resources and energy (e.g., lower emission) and resource conservation. In a design of site remediation, the factors such as energy, resources, climate change, green technology, safety and risk evaluation, cost benefit, and public acceptance may be considered. Sustainability is evaluated based on environmental, economic, and social considerations. This presentation will evaluate first cost analysis using case study in Los Angeles Region, which used 179 closed cases of active remediation since 2012. The average cost of cleanup with all methods is about $887,438 per site. Cost for individual remedial method such as soil vapor extraction is also analyzed. For example, cost for average soil vapor extraction is about $926,173 per site, which is higher than the average cost per site. The presentation also discusses the relationship between the cleanup goal and sustainability. Some individual site remedial methods, including soil excavation, groundwater pump and treat, soil vapor extraction, thermal enhancement, dual-phase extraction and air sparging, vapor barrier installation, chemical and biological in-situ treatment, monitoring natural attenuation, and phytoremediation, are also evaluated per the perspective of sustainability.

ObjectiveOfficial Launch: CalCUPA has developed a new Learning Management System (LMS) for its members to continue to receive CUPA Program education. Successful completion of course materials and quizzes will award members CEUs that can be used to maintain a variety of certifications. We will review this new system/tool together during this Session.
DescriptionOver the years, we at calcupa.org have created several different methods of providing training for members to learn and earn CEUs. We've hosted a video library and over 200 videos from our 2 years of virtual conferences. We have tried several methods of having users verify they have watched the videos in an effort to maintain our accreditation with the State. In order to continue to improve CUPA Program Training to our members, we are moving forward with the next step in our training evolution to provide members with a full Learning Management System (LMS) training experience. This will allow Course attendees to be provided a variety of types of information including documents and videos. Successful training will be verified with the use of quizzes which must be passed in order to earn CEUs. We believe this will offer a further validation of the training experience for our members and continue to justify the awarding of CEUs for completed training. In this Session, we will walk through the process of accessing LMS Courses at calcupa.org and demonstrating some of the features and functions of the material and most importantly, how to meet the criteria for earning CEUs.
