Description
Book SynopsisThis book keeps process engineers updated on the effective methodologies that process safety demands. Almost 200 pages of worked examples are included to facilitate understanding. References for further reading, along with charts and diagrams that reflect the latest views and information, make this a completely accessible work.
Trade Review"This book will be a most valuable reference source for any chemical engineer who has to conduct or be involved in hazard evaluation studies." (
