Book Description

ISBN-10: 0750610190 | ISBN-13: 978-0750610193 | Publication Date: December 1990

The book is written in an attempt to help all those involved in the management, development, planning, design, construction, operation, inspection and maintenance of process plants, as well as safety professionals. We humans have developed a love-hatred relationship with our process industries. We depend on them for cheap, standard and usually stable bulk products which supply much of the material needs of our bourgeoning population. Yet many fear and curse the process industries because of their potential for death, destruction and pollution caused by the escape of flammable, toxic or otherwise harmful chemicals and intermediates used in them. This book attempts to cover all the hazards of the process industries, with their many different technologies.

Mr. S. C. Purohit "Kingemporor" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Safety in the Process Industries (Paperback)

This is an excellent book for Safety Professionals and Chemical Engineers. The book is written in a lucid manner and goes straight to the heart of the issues.
I would recommend it as essential refence text book for all fellow Safety Engineers and Chemical Process Managers
