Description
Feature
Contents
This is the standard reference work for chemical and process engineering safety professionals. For years, it has been the most complete collection of information on the theory, practice, design elements, equipment, regulations and laws covering the field of process safety. An entire library of alternative books (and cross-referencing systems) would be needed to replace or improve upon it, but everything of importance to safety professionals, engineers, and managers can be found in this all-encompassing reference instead. The field of Loss Prevention is, and continues to be, of supreme importance to countless companies, municipalities and governments around ant world, because of the trend for processing plants to become larger and often be situated in or close to densely populated areas, thus increasing the hazard of loss of life or property. This book is a detailed guidebook to defending against these, and many other, hazards.
Frank Lees’ world renowned work has been fully revised and expanded by a team of leading chemical and process engineers working under the guidance of one of the world’s chief experts in this field. Sam Mannan is professor or chemical engineering at Texas A&M University, and heads the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center at Texas A&M. He received his MS and Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University Oklahoma, and joined the chemical engineering department of Texas University as a professor in 1997. He has over 20 years of experience as a engineer, working both in industry and academia.
The Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center was established in 1995 by T. Michael O’Connor. The center conducts programs and research activities that enhance safety in the chemical process industries. The Center’s educational activities promote safety as second nature to everyone in the industry. In addition, the Center develops safer processes, procedures and management strategies to minimize losses within the process industries.
• The world’s leading reference work on safety in the process industries.
• The most complete collection of information on the theory, practice, design elements, equipment, regulations and laws pertaining to process safety.
• The only reference work needed to provide principles, practice, codes, standards, data and references needed by those practicing in the field.
