Chemical Process Safety: Fundamentals with Applications, 4th Edition
by Daniel A. Crowl, Joseph F. Louvar
Overview
The #1 Process Safety Guide, Now Extensively Updated for Current Industrial Processes, Systems, and Practices
Process safety has seen a dramatic consolidation of concepts in the past few years. Chemical Process Safety, Fourth Edition, provides students and working engineers with the understanding necessary to apply these new concepts to safely design and operate any process.
Long the definitive guide in the field, this edition fully reflects major recent advances in process safety technology and practice. Readers will find extensive new and updated coverage of relief sizing, hazards identification, risk assessment, and many other topics. Several chapters have been completely rewritten, and all are substantially modified. This textbook includes 50 new problems and solutions (mostly in SI units), and 25 new case histories.
