Description
This well-illustrated resource provides a wealth of stimulating information on the design of inherently safer and user-friendly plants. It demonstrates how chemical plants can withstand human error and equipment failures without serious effects on safety, output, or efficiency. Written in an easy-to-read style, the book details with numerous examples such methods as intensification, substitution, attenuation, and simplification. Accounts of accidents that could have been prevented by inherently safer design are also addressed. Comprehensive references are included for readers who wish to follow up on these aspects in greater detail.
