Chemical Engineering Help With Safeties And Hazards In Process Industry
6. Safeties And Hazards In Process Industry:
Explosions in the process industries injure or kill hundreds if not thousands of workers every year and 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 so as to avoid the loss of human life which adds another dimension to these tragedies. This section explores different types of explosions that can occur in a facility and the necessary steps to guard against them and a clear set of preventative measures, rules and standards. Additional theoretical issues in the use of probabilistic equations and scenarios make an absolute necessity for process industry safety.
