Description
Proper management strategies and methodologies are an essential part of safeguarding chemical process operations and protecting personnel and plant assets.
This Chemical Engineering guidebook provides guidance for improving plant safety and reducing the risk of catastrophic failures. Articles include tips for ensuring plant safety, installing safety-instrumented systems, and performing process-hazard analyses (PHAs), hazard-and-operability studies (HAZOPs), environmental audits, and field troubleshooting of equipment.
Readers will find strategic recommendations for minimizing fire and explosion risks, managing piping systems, and ensuring that alarm systems are used effectively. Several articles also focus on selecting appropriate protective gear for plant personnel, including clothing, gloves, eye protection, and hearing protection.
This volume is part of a two-volume set, with Volume 1 entitled Improving Plant Safety: Equipment Design and Operation, sold separately.
Delivered in a PDF format, 200 pages.
