PROCESS SAFETY AND MANUFACTURING EXCELLENCE.The comprehensive textbook discusses methods and procedures in Process Safety Engineering (PSE) required to minimize risk and ensure safety to todays highly complex process industries. It will as an ideal study material for senior undergraduate and graduate students in the field of chemical engineering.

This textbook covers the essential aspects of process safety engineering in a practical and comprehensive manner.

It provides readers with an understanding of process safety hazards in the refining and petrochemical industries and how to manage them in a reliable and professional manner. It covers the most important concepts: static electricity, intensity of thermal radiation, thermodynamics of fluid phase equilibria, boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE), emission source models, hazard identification methods, risk control and methods for achieving manufacturing excellence while also focusing on safety. Extensive case studies are included.

Aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate chemical engineering students and practicing engineers, this book covers process safety principles and elsM
