Infos

This updated version of one of the most popular and widely used
CCPS books provides plant design engineers, facility operators, and
safety professionals with key information on selected topics of
interest. The book focuses on process safety issues in the design
of chemical, petrochemical, and hydrocarbon processing facilities.
It discusses how to select designs that can prevent or mitigate the
release of flammable or toxic materials, which could lead to a
fire, explosion, or environmental damage.

Key areas to be enhanced in the new edition include inherently
safer design, specifically concepts for design of inherently safer
unit operations and Safety Instrumented Systems and Layer of
Protection Analysis. This book also provides an extensive
bibliography to related publications and topic-specific
information, as well as key information on failure modes and
potential design solutions.

Autor

Since 1985, the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) has been the world leader in developing and disseminating information on process safety management and technology. CCPS, an industry technology alliance of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), has published over 80 books in its process safety guidelines and process safety concepts series, and over 100 training modules through its Safety in Chemical Engineering Education (SACHE) series.

Rezensionen

"I highly recommend it to process design engineers,
project engineers, facility operators, and process safety/loss
prevention specialists who will find it very useful." (Process
Safety Progress, 1 November 2012)

"While detailed engineering designs are outside the scope
of the book, the authors provide extensive references to assist
designers who wish to go beyond safety philosophy to the specifics
of a particular safety system design." (Chemical
Engineering Progress, 1 August 2012)
