This updated version of one of the most popular and widely used CCPS books provides plant design engineers, facility operators, and safety professionals with key information on selected topics of interest. The 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. Key areas to be enhanced in the new edition include inherently safer design, specifically concepts for design of inherently safer unit operations and Safety Instrumented Systems and Layer of Protection Analysis. This book also provides an extensive bibliography to related publications and topic-specific information, as well as key information on failure modes and potential design solutions.
Editorial : “I highly recommend it to process design engineers, project engineers, facility operators, and process safety/loss prevention specialists who will find it very useful." (Process Safety Progress, 1 November 2012)
“While detailed engineering designs are outside the scope of the book, the authors provide extensive references to assist designers who wish to go beyond safety philosophy to the specifics of a particular safety system design.” (Chemical Engineering Progress, 1 August 2012)
The most interesting pieces include the extended reminiscences by people who lived and worked closely with the Fords, and especially with Edsel's family. Not only does it help you become more "present," it presents an experience that leads to a place of total relaxation you cannot get by doing almost anything else. Then I went on with the others. Also, if your car has a problem, you can seek out what it probably is and determine the severity of the problem before having to have it repaired.
An excellent reference manual for anyone with a car over, say, 3 years old - when your car may begin having some problems.. That is not the only reason I found this cook book great though. But I wanted this more to understand the diet and see how it could fit into my lifestyle of eating healthy. This is so much more helpful than a single giant reference section at the end of the book.
Chapter six, "Piping Systems," is one of the best in the book. "SaiVahni" Ashtar-Athena Sheran
