Review Distillation Process Hazards, 2008 Edition BP Process Safety Series - IChemE (Process Safety Series) / Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE):Crude and Vacuum distillations are the first step of oil refining. These units are normally running in fairly large hydrocarbon inventories, at high throughputs and high temperatures up to 680-813°F, well above the auto-ignition temperatures of hydrocarbons. While distillation is a well known and understood process, numerous incidents have occurred in the past and still happen regularly. This title aims to help the reader better understand the 'why' of safe operating practices and procedures in Crude Distillation Units (CDUs) and Vacuum Distillation Units (VDUs) in order to raise awareness around this activity, and to promote the adoption of safe designs and practices to avoid the occurrence of such incidents. This book should be read in conjunction with the other BP Process Safety Series Books, in particular:-Hazards of Water-Hazards of Air and Oxygen-Hazards of Steam-Safe Furnace and Boiler Firing-Hazards of Trapped Pressure and Vacuum-Safe Handling of Light Ends-Confined Space Entry-Hazardous Substances in Refineries-Safe Ups and Downs for Process Units-Hazards of Electricity and Static Electricity-Hazards of Nitrogen and Catalyst Handling.

Review Illustrated Guide to the National Electrical Code (Illustrated Guide to the National Electrical Code (Nec)) / Delmar Cengage Learning:Providing a unique approach to learning the Code, the Illustrated Guide to the NEC uses highly detailed, technically accurate illustrations and visuals to break down and simplify the expanding volume and complexity of the 2008 National Electrical Code. By translating the sometimes vague, complicated wording of the Code into straightforward illustrations and clear explanations, this book provides a resource that will facilitate comprehension and application of Code requirements for beginning and master electricians alike. Material is organized logically, covering fundamental provisions first, and then grouping code requirements by the type of occupancy, beginning with one-family dwellings, and progressing on to multi-family, commercial locations, and special occupancies. This organization is not only logical but also reflects how information is needed when working in the electrical industry, better preparing readers for the real world. Its comprehensive coverage, innovative learning approach, and industry-based organization make this an indispensable supplement to the NEC, whether users need information on a specific area, or need to learn the Code from cover to cover.

Review Hazardous Chemicals in Products and Processes: Substitution as an Innovative Process (Sustainability and Innovation) / Physica-Verlag Heidelberg:Substitution of hazardous substances is a prioritised objective in chemical regulation and risk management. However, it is experienced as a tough task with often inconsistent results. Based on thirteen case studies, this book analyzes substitution as an innovation process and attempts to give answers to the following questions: Why and under which circumstances are companies able and willing to substitute hazardous substances? What are the main drivers and the main barriers? In which way can communication along the supply chain support environmental innovation? How can risk management appropriately deal with the lack of knowledge, with uncertainties and incomplete knowledge about the possible effects of different substances? Recommendations for action are provided for commercial and state institutions and consumers and thus for all actors engaged in the European reform of chemicals policy following the REACH system.

Review Ergonomic Design for Materials Handling Systems / CRC-Press:The ergonomics focus is on how to design work tasks, tools, and environments to fit the capabilities and limitations of people. Ergonomic Design for Material Handling Systems describes how ergonomics can be applied specifically to load handling, both in the original design of systems and in their modification to make jobs easier and safer. Proven techniques (such as flow charting, or job analysis) are combined with new considerations (such as biomechanics and repetitive trauma) to optimize facility, work station, equipment, and job procedures. Ergonomic Design for Material Handling Systems shows how ergonomics overlaps and intertwines with traditional engineering and management, uniting them to produce ease and efficiency in material handling. This book demonstrates how to lay out facilities in order to achieve the most efficient and safe design. It tells how to organize tasks, machinery, people, and materials to improve work flow and "humanize" your workplaces. Consideration of human needs and abilities contributes essentially to successful performance-let this practical book be your guide.

Review Essential BAT Value Documentations: from The MAK-Collection for Occupational Health and Safety / Wiley-VCH:For more than 20 of the most important occupational toxicants, the documentations for the established BAT values (Biological Exposure Values) and EKA values (Exposure Equivalents for Carcinogenic Substances) are provided. These include an authoritative review of the available toxicological studies and data. For every substance, metabolism and pharmacokinetics, critical toxicity, exposure and effects, suitable indicators of internal exposure, the evaluation of the BAT value and the correct interpretation of data are described. Basic physico-chemical data are provided as well. The documentations are thus not only essential for the application of BAT and EKA values but provide a concise overview of biological monitoring for each substance. The documentations are authoritative, because they were compiled by the Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area. The Commission is internationally acknowledged for its neutrality and is working strictly according to transparent, scientific criteria. BAT Values set the standards for legal regulations in many countries of the world, e. g. they are the basis for at least 30 % of the threshold limits valid in the European Union.

Review Guidelines for Design Solutions for Process Equipment Failures (Center for Chemical Process Safety "Guidelines" series) / Wiley-AIChE:While there is no "perfect" solution or absolute zero risk, engineering design can significantly reduce risk potential in the CPI. In Guidelines for Design Solutions to Process Equipment Failures, industry experts offer their broad experience in identifying numerous solutions to the more common process equipment failures including inherent safer/passive, active, and procedural solutions, in decreasing order of robustness and reliability. The book challenges the engineer to identify opportunities for inherent and passive safety features early, and use a risk-based approach to process safety systems specification. The book is organized into three basic sections: 1) a technique for making risk-based design decisions; 2) potential failure scenarios for 10 major processing equipment categories; and 3) two worked examples showing how the techniques can be applied. The equipment categories covered are: vessels, reactors, mass transfer equipment, fluid transfer equipment, solids-fluid separators, solids handling and processing equipment, and piping and piping components. Special Details: Hardcover book plus 3. 5" diskette for use in any word processing program with design solutions for use in PHAs.
