Description
For operators and facility managers in the chemical process industries (CPI), proper maintenance goes hand in hand with plant and process safety.
This Chemical Engineering Guidebook includes a collection of tutorial-style engineering articles providing tips, recommendations, and best practices to help CPI facilities undertake maintenance-related activities, with a special focus on improving plant safety for workers and the surrounding community.
Topics focus on reducing corrosion and properly managing specific equipment components to minimize leakage and emissions. There is also emphasis on maintenance strategies for burners and other equipment systems with potential risks of temperature excursions, fire, and explosion. Strategies are also provided for reducing the risk of dust explosions during handling of powders and other bulk solids, proper maintenance of pipelines carrying gases and gas-detection systems, and minimizing leakage risk.
