ioMosaic’s Educational Services

We created the ioMosaic Educational Services to

provide our clients with unlimited access to our ex-
perience across a wide spectrum of safety, technol-
ogy, and risk management. We help clients in the
chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and other
process industries to develop and implement cost ef-
fective, best industry practices.
Our clients get a clear understanding of their safety
and risk management challenges. They also benefit
from clear and practical instruction on how to pro-
tect their profits, reduce their exposure to incidents,
and comply with regulations and company standards.
Our training courses are instructed by ioMosaic sen-
ior staff and invited industry experts. Our instructors
are well known for the depth of their experience and
their strong academic and operating backgrounds.
Our primary goal is to provide practical training and
learning that you can use immediately to improve
performance.
Our training courses meet the requirements of the In-
ternational Association for Continuing Education and
Training (IACET) and course participants will re-
ceive continuing education credits. We offer both
open enrollment and onsite training. Onsite training
is often tailored to meet client specific needs and re-
quirements. We welcome the opportunity to discuss
your training needs and objectives.

You can find our upcoming open-enrollment courses

 Advanced Hazard Consequence Modeling
Spring 2003 (schedule to be announced) Salem, New Hampshire
Instructor: G. A. Melhem, Ph.D.
Advanced hazard consequence modeling will help
companies meet the new OSHA Process Safety
Management (PSM) standard and EPA’s Risk Man-
agement Program (RMP) rule. The OSHA standard
requires facilities to estimate chemical release haz-
ard zones within facilities, while the RMP rule re-
quires conse-
quence assess-
“Explore Advanced modeling ments for surround-
techniques and how to integrate ing facilities. In both
contexts, advanced
experimental data into your risk and hazard conse-
quence modeling
hazard planning” enables process
industries to im-
prove predictions of chemical hazards and increase
profit protection with better process, emergency re-
sponse, and mitigation design.
What You Will Learn
The course will describe the underlying principles
used in the estimation of source terms and the quan-
tification of dispersion, fire, and explosion hazards.
The course will address both how and why hazard-
ous incidents occur. Case histories will illustrate how
fundamental concepts apply in industry situations.
Hands-on computer modeling will enable you to ap-
ply what you have learned to real problems.
Participants
The course is designed for anyone who is working in
risk assessment and who will be performing or re-
viewing consequence modeling or using its results.
This course requires use of mathematical and com-
puter models, therefore participants should have a
bachelor’s degree in science or engineering and ex-
perience in consequence analysis for risk quantifica-
tion, emergency response planning, loss prevention,
safe design, facilities siting, or environmental protec-
tion.
Course Materials and Fee
Participants will receive presentation summaries, ex-
ercises, text, and data covering the range of tech-
niques currently used in state-of-the-art modeling.
You will also receive a copy of Dr. Melhem’s book,
Advanced Consequence Modeling, updated 2002.
Fee: $1,500; 2.6 CEUs.
In addition, you will receive a one
year trial license for SuperChems
Professional.

Calorimetry, Reactivity, and ioMosaic is a combination of two terms. io is the standard industry acronym for
Large-Scale Testing input (i) output (o). In any problem solving activity there is data that must be gath-
ered and analyzed, the input. Usually the solution to a problem involves many

Due Diligence Support
pieces of data all of which are important, but none of which alone can solve the

Effluent Handling Design problem. It is up to the analyst to find each relevant piece of data and then ar-
range the pieces to form the solution, just like looking at a mosaic. Once all the

Facility Siting pieces are in place, the solution is apparent!
