Description
All chemical process plants that handle fuels, chemicals, flammable fluids, and combustible powders face the risk of fire and explosions. Proper hazard identification, engineering design strategies, and instrumentation and control systems can significantly reduce risk and minimize potential damage.
This guidebook contains practical engineering articles to help facilities maximize safety and minimize fire-related risks. Included are tips for assessing potential hazards, protecting personnel and assets, and implementing robust engineering strategies.
Articles focus on handling potentially explosive liquids and powders, operating vacuum and distillation systems, proper tank and pipeline design, and managing MSDS programs and protective gear.
