The Leading Guide To Process Safety Now Extensively Updated For Today’s Processes And Systems
As chemical processes have grown more complex, so have the safety systems required to prevent accidents. Chemical Process Safety, Third Edition, offers students and practitioners a more fundamental understanding of safety and the application required to safely design and manage today’s sophisticated processes.
The third edition continues the definitive standard of the previous editions. The content has been extensively updated to today’s techniques and procedures, and two new chapters have been added. A new chapter on chemical reactivity provides the information necessary to identify, characterize, control, and manage reactive chemical hazards. A new chapter on safety procedures and designs includes new content on safely management, and specific procedures including hot work permits, lock-tag-try, and vessel entry.
Subjects Include
- Inherently safer design
- Toxicology and industrial hygiene
- Toxic release and dispersion models
- Fires and explosions, and how to prevent them
- Reliefs and relief sizing
- Hazard identification
- Risk assessment
- Safe designs and procedures
- Case histories
Chemical Process Safety, Third Edition, is an ideal reference for professionals. It can be used for both graduate and undergraduate instruction. This edition contains more than 480 end-of-chapter problems. A solutions manual is available for instructors.
