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
