Full Description

Electrical and instrumentation safety considerations are generally complex and confusing. This resource shows chemical, electrical and safety engineers how to design, operate and maintain electrical and process control systems in compliance with national codes and regulations. Featuring a wealth of safety assurance tips and techniques from actual operating facilities, this book presents recommendations for effective documentation, training, audit inspection, accurate risk assessment and accident investigations. It covers issues of dust safety, lightning protection, and static electricity protection, and reviews developing international standards for harmonization and hazards classification. Moreover, the author examines applications of promising techniques such as expert systems, flow metering, critical interlock, intrinsic safety and European hazardous area practice. This book should be of interest to chemical, electrical and safety engineers involved in the design and operation of plants for the chemical process industries.
