Product Description: Explosion Hazards in the Process Industries, Second Edition, delivers the most current and comprehensive content for today’s process engineer. Process safety and petrochemical engineers inherently accept that there is a risk of explosions when working on process facilities such as plants and refineries...read more

Product Description: Explosions in the process industries injure or kill hundreds, if not thousands, of workers every year. They occurin process plants, refineries, platforms and pipelines all over the world. Millions of dollars are spent repairingdamages, replacing equipment and rebuilding facilities in the wake of this destruction...read more

Takes a critical look at the initiation, prevention and control of dust explosions in industry under real process conditions, including topics like ignition sources, explosion violence, explosion limits and laboratory testing of dusts for ignitability and explosibility. Experimental evidence on various aspects are discussed with particular emphasis on the overall risk assessment. It enables the engineer to identify real explosion hazards and take the appropriate actions to reduce or eliminate these hazards. (view table of contents)
