No help here in keeping your laundry room safe; an update of the 1977 User guide to fire and explosion hazards in the drying of particulate materials . Advises people who design, install, operate, and maintain drying systems on recognizing and eliminating hazards and providing protection for personn

This work furnishes students and practising engineers with a guide to the principles of industrial drying of particulate and loose solids and with advice on improved design procedures. The book focuses on those processes considered by the author to be the most effective in the current field.

Safety in the process industries is critical for those who work with chemicals and hazardous substances or processes. The field of loss prevention is, and continues to be, of supreme importance to countless companies, municipalities and governments around the world, and Lees' is a detailed reference to defending against hazards. Recognized as the standard work for chemical and process engineering safety professionals, it provides the most complete collection of information on the theory, practice, design elements, equipment, regulations and laws covering the field of process safety. An entire library of alternative books (and cross-referencing systems) would be needed to replace or improve upon it, but everything of importance to safety professionals, engineers and managers can be found in this all-encompassing three volume reference instead. - The process safety encyclopedia, trusted worldwide for over 30 years - Now available in print and online, to aid searchability and portability - Over 3,600 print pages cover the full scope of process safety and loss prevention, compiling theory, practice, standards, legislation, case studies and lessons learned in one resource as opposed to multiple sources

Powtech '83: Particle Technology focuses on the techniques and processes involved in the handling and processing of powders and other related products. The book presents studies that show the composition, characteristics, value, and strength of materials when subjected to different conditions in different environments. Divided into five parts with 32 chapters, the book features the work of contributors who have conducted research on the composition and chemical processes involved in particle technology. The pieces that are presented feature experiments and tests conducted on different materials, such as coal and liquids. These experiments are supported by lengthy discussions coupled with numerical representation to validate the claims of authors in their respective concerns. Although the authors have their own topics to cover, they will manage to capture the interest of physicists, chemists, and mechanical and civil engineers who are interested in particle technology. Taking into consideration the value of information presented in the book, these professionals will find the book a reliable source of data in their profession and in their studies.

Lees' Process Safety Essentials is a single-volume digest presenting the critical, practical content from Lees' Loss Prevention for day-to-day use and reference. It is portable, authoritative, affordable, and accessible — ideal for those on the move, students, and individuals without access to the full three volumes of Lees'. This book provides a convenient summary of the main content of Lees', primarily drawn from the hazard identification, assessment, and control content of volumes one and two. Users can access Essentials for day-to-day reference on topics including plant location and layout; human factors and human error; fire, explosion and toxic release; engineering for sustainable development; and much more. This handy volume is a valuable reference, both for students or early-career professionals who may not need the full scope of Lees', and for more experienced professionals needing quick, convenient access to information. - Boils down the essence of Lees'—the process safety encyclopedia trusted worldwide for over 30 years - Provides safety professionals with the core information they need to understand the most common safety and loss prevention challenges - Covers the latest standards and presents information, including recent incidents such as Texas City and Buncefield

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.
