Description
Volume 2 of this two-part guidebook contains “Facts at Your Fingertips” guide sheets and practical, how-to engineering articles, originally published in Chemical Engineering. Instrumentation provides essential information to operators in chemical process industries (CPI) facilities, ensuring proper operations and safe control.
This volume emphasizes the role of instrumentation in reducing known CPI plant hazards. Topics include hazard-area classification, process hazards analysis, control valve performance, flame hazard monitoring, dust-explosion risk reduction, safety-instrumented systems (SIS), pipeline safety, cybersecurity, and more.
