Description
This Chemical Engineering guidebook contains practical, how-to engineering articles and “Facts at Your Fingertips” guide sheets from Chemical Engineering. The volume focuses on engineering situations that can lead to dangerous pressure rise, upset plant conditions, runaway reactions, and increased risk of explosions.
Tutorial-style articles provide guidance for conducting process-hazards analyses and offer recommendations for the safe operation of pressure vessels, vacuum systems, pneumatic transfer systems, heat exchangers, compressed gas cylinders, flares, and sulfuric-acid storage. Additional tips cover the proper use of rupture disks, gaskets, and pressure relief devices.
