4.0 out of 5 stars Good Place to Start, February 19, 2002

By	Dirk J. Willard (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Chemical Process Safety: Fundamentals with Applications (2nd Edition) (Prentice Hall International Series in the Physical and Chemical Engineering Sciences) (Hardcover)

While lacking in detail, I have found this book a good place to start when it comes to safety equipment and strategies for handling other problems with volatile organic chemicals. In this industry specialization is rare. Engineers need a place to start so that they can get the language right before proceeding to the internet and vendors. The worked-out problems are good but you will find you need to go to the source for details. As I said, a good place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable Process Safety Resource, February 15, 2007

By	D. Elam - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Chemical Process Safety: Fundamentals with Applications (2nd Edition) (Prentice Hall International Series in the Physical and Chemical Engineering Sciences) (Hardcover)

Clear, straightforward textbook describing quantitiative methods to evaluate a range of process safety issues. Appropriate balance of theory and application. Real world examples with solved problems. Not a coffee table book, but a valuable reference for process engineers and enviromental, health, and safety professionals.
