Industrial accident data over the past several years makes clear that while mitigating Major Accident Hazard events is a fundamental objective, so-called “black swan” events are becoming more commonplace – especially in the refining and petrochemical industries. In fact, over the past 20 years, the combined losses from these events have totaled around $28 billion!

This e-book takes a retrospective review of a significant refinery loss event and the key lessons learned from it. And, it will uncover how industry is investing heavily in Industry 4.0 technology initiatives in a bid to stay competitive and viable in these uncertain times of shifting margins, oil price fluctuations, shutdowns, upgrades, mergers & acquisitions.
