Description
The use of properly engineered systems to safeguard operations and protect personnel, plant assets and the environment is job one during chemical process industries (CPI) activities.
The articles in this Chemical Engineering guidebook provide detailed engineering guidance related to a variety of equipment types and engineered systems. It focuses on managing pressure buildup and mitigating the risk of fire and explosion through proper system design, operation and maintenance, and efforts to reduce the risk of sparks.
Other areas focus on the proper handling of finely powdered materials, to reduce the risk of potentially catastrophic dust explosions.
Also provided are engineering recommendations on the proper selection and use of pumps, valves, and rupture disks, to reduce emissions and ensure safe operation.
Finally, there is an area that is devoted to managing chemical storage tanks to reduce the risk of leakage and product loss.
