Executive summary
Here the case designing of plant, recycling scrap glasses is demonstrated. A rising urgency has been
there regarding the design of various plants. It is helpful to optimize various aspects of safety and
allow a various activities to continue. Moreover, there is a designing of various plant items that is to
be done by engineering who are largely expert in that sector. Here different elements of the plants
and its activities are to be selected. Further, various recommendations are provided according to
security. Again, as per the current scenario, various risk analysis, mitigation techniques are
demonstrated here. Then the risks are analyzed with proper criticism.

1. Introduction:
The following study analyzes the designing of a plant that recycles scrap glasses. There is a
rising necessity to assure that the design of different important items of the plants and layout are
done. This is to optimize every aspects of safety and permit an effective operation. Here, the
designing of every plant items are done by other engineers who are highly expert in that area.
In this report various elements of the plant and its activities are selected. A series of
recommendations are discussed regarding security. In order to understand the present scenario, risk
analysis and mitigations are done. Then it is analyzed and criticized.
2. Risk analysis and mitigation:
Risks Analysis Mitigation process
Hazards of fire and explosion The fire is a common hazard to
the plant processing and
operations. This is caused as
proper maintenance of detectors
and alarms are done suitably.
Different factors behind this are
the failure of various electrical
equipments, unsuitable
handling of raw materials to the
plan processing. Apart from
this there are also carelessness
arising from operator side to
This includes the controlling of
emissions of flammable mist,
gases and vapors. There is use
of ventilation system for
controlling vapors as the
abnormal and normal
conditions goes on. The
ignition sources are to be
eradicated from the plants.
Different systems are to be
installed for detecting leaks of
flammable vapors and gases

plant sites. The current plan has
comprised of chemical damage
systems and various other tools
that are results of explosions
and loss of containment
(Aragonés-Beltrán et al., 2014).
Besides, the hackers are also
able t6o hack fire systems and
develop different false alarms
rendering the unreliable
and help to undertake activities
to be taken. Further,
intrinsically secure and
flameproof equipments are to
be used. Moreover, substituting
flammable materials for the
ones that are less flammable
and combustible are to be used.
Besides, incompatible materials
like oils and oxidizers are to be
assured that are segregated and
separated (Kim, Lee & Jung,
2017). Moreover, different
combustible and flammable
quantities are to be reduced that
includes items contributing to
fire load. However, they are
harmful chemicals themselves
like oils and wooden pallets.
Here, tools used in controlling
flammable hazardous chemicals
are to be ensured to maintain
accordance to instructions of
manufacturers. Then there

should be adopting g of proper
housekeeping practices in
minimizing accumulation of
combustible dusts.
Environmental hazards The process plants are
comprised of internal and
external surrounding of the
plants. Here, the environmental
factors are the security,
drainage, fences and bunds of
emissions and operators from
various process plants and
waste products coming from
plants (Halpin & Officer,
2016). Further, there are waste
products that are coming from
plants as outputs for the overall
environment. Here, the adverse
scenario gets affected because
of chlorofluorocarbons. This
plant gets handled by acids that
are provided with large impacts
over the environment across the

Here post-consumer glass is
the alternate. This is effective

binder agent strategies for
backfilling. This is
implemented to assist in
decreasing backfilling energy
expenses. Thus it can ultimately
eradicate the reduction of green
house gas emissions. This is
generated by the plant. Further,
extensive engineering testing,
comprising of pipe flow loop
tests and tests of strengths can
be induced to undertake
technical feasibility of process
integration under the industry
(Noli & Tsamos, 2016).
