Fundamentals Of Process Safety Engineering

This textbook comprehensively covers several technical aspects of process safety engineering. It provides readers with an understanding of hazards in process plants and how to manage in a safe and professional manner. The text covers important concepts including static electricity, modeling for radiation intensity, thermodynamics of fluid phase equilibria, intensity of thermal radiation, boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE), emission source models, computational fluid dynamics and hazard identification methods. Case studies are included in the textbook. Aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students in the field of chemical engineering for courses on process safety engineering/process safety, this book: Discusses fundamentals, methods, and procedures for the industrial practice of Process Safety Engineering. Covers thermodynamic basis for computing release rates from ruptures in pipelines or vessels and relief valves. Discusses static electricity hazards in a comprehensive and authoritative manner, with examples. Examines industrial fires and explosions, dispersion of toxic and flammable gases and vapours. Discusses methods of qualitative and quantitative risk assessment and control in detail.
