Description
Improved plant operability goes hand in hand with improved plant safety. This Chemical Engineering Guidebook contains a collection of tutorial-style articles aimed at ensuring safe plant operations.
Topics include fire prevention and the safe handling of powders and bulk solids to reduce the risk of dust explosions, safe handling of heat-transfer fluids, and the proper management of liquefied natural gas. Tips and best practices are also provided for specifying rupture disks and emergency-shutdown valves, monitoring corrosion and equipment integrity, and maintaining pipeline safety. Several articles center on mechanical seals and other engineering options that minimize fugitive emissions and leaks that threaten personnel, the community, and the environment.
