EBook Description
In the US, UK and Europe there is in excess of one notifiable dust or electrostatic explosion every day of the year. This clearly makes the hazards associated with the handling of materials subject to either cause or react to electrostatic discharge of vital importance to anyone associated with their handling or industrial bulk use. This Electrostatic Hazards book provides a comprehensive guide to the dangers of static electricity and how to avoid them. It will prove invaluable to safety managers and professionals, as well as all personnel involved in the activities concerned, in the chemical, agricultural, pharmaceutical and petrochemical process industries.

The book makes extended use of case studies to illustrate the principles being expounded, thereby making it far more open, accessible and attractive to the practitioner in industry than the highly theoretical texts which are also available. The authors have many years' experience in the area behind them, including the professional teaching of the content provided here.

Günter Lüttgens is a widely acknowledged consultant who travels Europe providing training to major industrial corporations on this subject, whilst Norman Wilson practices what is written here in his professional capacity with the British Textile Technology Group.

Extended use of case studies to illustrate the principles. This makes the book far more open, accessible and attractive to the practitioner in industry than the highly theoretical texts also available. Authors have many years experience in the area. Both authors have been widely published with considerable previous book-writing experience.
Book Info: Using documented case studies, text provides a comprehensive guide to the dangers and avoidance of static electricity hazards in chemical, agricultural, pharmaceutical & petrochemical process industries.

Ebook Review'
This book provides industrial practitioners an insight into the nature of static electricity, and cites specific examples of problems that can occur in the workplace, along with suggested safety measures that can be taken...the case studies provide much useful information...a useful addition to the technical library of chemical engineers involved in process safety/loss prevention, design, and production.' --Jnl. of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries

'This book provides a valuable reference to safety professional personnel involved in chemical, agricultural, pharmaceutical and petrochemical process engineering.' --Health and safety at Work.

Ebook Review

H. I. Epstein, University of Connecticut, Choice : This new edition (3rd ed., CH, Apr'95) of this handbook is divided into seven sections covering the fields of civil, architectural, mechanical, electrical, chemical and process plant, water and wastewater, and environmental engineering. Within each section there are several major topics, further divided into numerous subtopics...

Sci-Tech Book News : This resource for practicing engineers presents more than 5000 calculation procedures for solving common engineering problems. The volume is divided into sections corresponding to seven engineering disciplines: civil, architectural, mechanical, electrical, sanitary, environmental, and chemical. Utilizing a "cookbook" format, the handbook describes the problem to be solved; provides numbered calculation procedures to be followed; works out an example problem; and (in most instances) presents related calculations.

Design for Process Safety

Guidelines for Engineering Design for Process Safety
Description
Inherently safer plants begin with the initial design. Here is where integrity and reliability can be built in at the lowest cost, and with maximum effectiveness. This book focuses on process safety issues in the design of chemical, petrochemical, and hydrocarbon processing facilities. It discusses how to select designs that can prevent or mitigate the release of flammable or toxic materials, which could lead to a fire, explosion, or environmental damage. All engineers on the design team, the process hazard analysis team, and those who make basic decisions on plant design, will benefit from its comprehensive coverage, its organization, and the extensive references to literature, codes, and standards that accompany each chapter.
