Description
During chemical process operations, risk can take many forms. Risks from management and engineering decisions can result in environmental, health, and safety consequences, sub-optimal process operations, lower production yields, and increased maintenance or repair costs. Project planning and execution risks can also increase financial exposure, leading to cost overruns, schedule delays, and reduced profit margins.
This 2-volume Chemical Engineering Guidebook compiles practical engineering articles to help facilities identify, manage, and mitigate the various forms of risk that arise during chemical process operations.
Volume Two focuses on equipment considerations, providing guidance on safe handling, operation, and monitoring of key risk-prone equipment components. Topics include powdered solids handling to prevent dust explosions, piping and component design, and safe operation of pressure vessels, pneumatic conveying systems, burners, rotating machinery, and more.
