Finally, the derived risk values of the causal factors were ranked while constructing multi-level accident causation chains to unveil the weak links in system functionality and the primary roots of operational accidents. Using the specific case of the “1·15” major explosion and fire accident at Liaoning Panjin Haoye Chemical Co., Ltd., seven causal factors and their corresponding performance changes were identified.

Currently, pressurized gasification of poultry manure is still a novel research field, especially when combined with a novel technological route of oxy-fuel gasification. Oxy-fuel gasification is a newly proposed and promising gasification technology for power generation that facilitates future carbon capture and storage. In this work, based on a commercially operated industrial-scale chicken manure gasification power plant in Singapore, we presented an interesting first exploration of the coupled pressurization technology for oxy-fuel gasification of poultry manure using CFD numerical simulation, analyzed the effects of pressure and oxygen enrichment concentration as well as the coupling mechanism between them, and discussed the conversion and emission of nitrogen- and sulfur-containing pollutants. The results indicate that under oxy-fuel gasification condition (Oxy-30, <em>i.e</em>., 30%O<sub>2</sub>/70%CO<sub>2</sub>), as the pressure increases from 0.1 to 0.5 MPa, the CO concentration in the syngas increases slightly, the H<sub>2</sub> concentration increases to approximately 25%, and the CH<sub>4</sub> concentration (less than 1%) decreases, resulting in an increase in the calorific value of syngas from 5.2 to 5.6 MJ·m<sup>−3</sup>. Compared to atmospheric pressure conditions, a relatively higher oxygen-enriched concentration interval (Oxy-40 to Oxy-50) under pressurized conditions is advantageous for autothermal gasification. Pressurization increases NO precursors production and also promotes homogeneous and heterogeneous reduction of NO, and provides favorable conditions for self-desulfurization.

In this work, the mixing and reaction of acidic gastric juice and alkaline intestinal fluid in a 3D duodenum with moving walls were modelled. A unique feature of this model is the implementation of both pancreaticobiliary and wall secretion of intestinal fluid as boundary conditions. This model allowed us to quantitatively explore the influence of secretion modes on pH regulation. The results demonstrated that coexistence of both pancreaticobiliary and wall secretions is the key to maintain the average pH in the duodenum at about 7.4.
