Explosions in the process industries

Injure or kill hundreds, if not thousands, of workers every year. They occur in process plants, refineries, platforms and pipelines all over the world. Millions of dollars are spent repairing damages, replacing equipment and rebuilding facilities in the wake of this destruction.

Types of explosions and prevention

This book explores different types of explosions that can occur in a facility and the necessary steps to guard against them. A clear set of preventative measures, rules and standards combine to make this book a convenient guide to real-world applications.

Theoretical considerations

Additional theoretical issues in the use of probabilistic equations and scenarios make this book an absolute necessity for process industry safety.
