Abstract
The subcritical water
hydrolysis (SWH) process has proven to be an effective method for sugar
recovery from bakery waste. However, the natural principle of the process
involving high pressure and temperature has made it a hazardous operation.
Hence, failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) has been applied to identify the
potential failure modes in subcritical water hydrolysis (SWH) systems. The Risk
Priority Number (RPN) approach was used to rate each potential problem during
the SWH process. The reactor unit was found to have the highest potential for
failure by RPN value of 800 with the 'failure effect analysis' on the potential
reactor cap to explode due to the very high pressure inside the reactor that
developed during SWH. The failure consequences may lead to injury or even
death. As a result of the FMEA assessment approach and several corrective
action plans, the failure risks of SWH can be reduced and managed effectively.

Abstrak
Proses hidrolisis air subkritikal (SWH) telah terbukti sebagai kaedah yang berkesan untuk pemulihan gula daripada sisa bakeri. Walau bagaimanapun, prinsip semula jadi proses yang melibatkan tekanan dan suhu tinggi telah menjadikannya operasi yang berbahaya.
Oleh itu, analisis mod dan kesan kegagalan (FMEA) telah digunakan untuk mengenal pasti mod kegagalan yang berpotensi dalam sistem hidrolisis air subkritikal (SWH). Pendekatan Nombor Keutamaan Risiko (RPN) digunakan untuk menilai setiap masalah yang berpotensi semasa proses SWH. Unit reaktor didapati mempunyai potensi kegagalan yang paling tinggi dengan nilai RPN 800 dengan 'analisis kesan kegagalan' pada penutup reaktor berpotensi meletup kerana tekanan yang sangat tinggi di dalam reaktor yang berkembang semasa SWH. Akibat daripada kegagalan boleh membawa kepada kecederaan atau kematian. Hasil daripada pendekatan penilaian FMEA dan beberapa pelan tindakan pembetulan, risiko kegagalan SWH dapat dikurangkan dan diuruskan dengan berkesan.
