Lees' Loss Prevention in the Process Industries
Author: Frank LeesPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080489338
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 3708
Book Description
Over the last three decades the process industries have grown very rapidly, with corresponding increases in the quantities of hazardous materials in process, storage or transport. Plants have become larger and are often situated in or close to densely populated areas. Increased hazard of loss of life or property is continually highlighted with incidents such as Flixborough, Bhopal, Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, the Phillips 66 incident, and Piper Alpha to name but a few. The field of Loss Prevention is, and continues to, be of supreme importance to countless companies, municipalities and governments around the world, because of the trend for processing plants to become larger and often be situated in or close to densely populated areas, thus increasing the hazard of loss of life or property. This book is a detailed guidebook to defending against these, and many other, hazards. It could without exaggeration be referred to as the "bible" for the process industries. This is THE standard reference work for chemical and process engineering safety professionals. For years, it has been the most complete collection of information on the theory, practice, design elements, equipment, regulations and laws covering the field of process safety. An entire library of alternative books (and cross-referencing systems) would be needed to replace or improve upon it, but everything of importance to safety professionals, engineers and managers can be found in this all-encompassing reference instead. Frank Lees' world renowned work has been fully revised and expanded by a team of leading chemical and process engineers working under the guidance of one of the world’s chief experts in this field. Sam Mannan is professor of chemical engineering at Texas A&M University, and heads the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center at Texas A&M. He received his MS and Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Oklahoma, and joined the chemical engineering department at Texas A&M University as a professor in 1997. He has over 20 years of experience as an engineer, working both in industry and academia. New detail is added to chapters on fire safety, engineering, explosion hazards, analysis and suppression, and new appendices feature more recent disasters. The many thousands of references have been updated along with standards and codes of practice issued by authorities in the US, UK/Europe and internationally. In addition to all this, more regulatory relevance and case studies have been included in this edition. Written in a clear and concise style, Loss Prevention in the Process Industries covers traditional areas of personal safety as well as the more technological aspects and thus provides balanced and in-depth coverage of the whole field of safety and loss prevention. * A must-have standard reference for chemical and process engineering safety professionals * The most complete collection of information on the theory, practice, design elements, equipment and laws that pertain to process safety * Only single work to provide everything; principles, practice, codes, standards, data and references needed by those practicing in the field

Book Description
Pressure Vessel Technology, Volume 1: Design and Analysis is a collection of papers presented at the Sixth International Conference on Pressure Vessel Technology, held in Beijing, People's Republic of China on September 11-15, 1988. This conference presents the practical applications in pressure vessel technology, specifically the developments and research, as well as contributions from prominent specialists from many different countries related to their design, materials, fabrication, and methods of inspection. This volume is divided into 61 chapters and begins with a presentation of guidelines and design criteria for various pressure vessel components, such as the nuclear, piping, and boiler components. The succeeding chapters deal with the features and practical application of the seismic design criteria, the issues of vibration, instabilities, damping, and flows. These topics are followed by discussions of the application of the discrete vortex method to flow over structures; tests and analysis of sealing characteristics; the properties of flange, gaskets, and heat exchangers; and stress analysis experiments. This work also includes papers on thermal stress tests, elastoplastic and deformation analysis, crack stability, and the application of computer for automation in analysis. The remaining chapters survey some international design standards of pressure vessels. This book will prove useful to mechanical and design engineers.

Pressure Vessel And Piping Technology - Proceedings Of The Seminar
Author: John Shing Tai CheungPublisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814552941
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
This last decade has seen remarkable growth in the Asian Pacific region in the off-shore oil, petrochemical, power and process industries and the rapid change in these fields requires constant updating and reappraisal of the available and new technologies. The proceedings of the seminar will contain papers from representatives from many countries to address current technological issues and discuss engineering development and operating experiences. The proceedings will therefore greatly benefit those who wish to learn about the new developments in the areas of application of pressure vessels and piping technology.
