Guidelines for Engineering Design for Process Safety

This updated version of one of the most popular and widely CCPS books provides plant design engineers, facility operators, andsafety professionals with key information on selected topics ofinterest. The book focuses on process safety issues in the designof chemical, petrochemical, and hydrocarbon processing facilities.It discusses how to select designs that can prevent or mitigate therelease of flammable or toxic materials, which could lead to afire, explosion, or environmental damage.

Key areas to be enhanced in the new edition include inherentlysafer design, specifically concepts for design of inherently saferunit operations and Safety Instrumented Systems and Layer ofProtection Analysis. This book also provides an extensivebibliography to related publications and topic-specificinformation, as well as key information on failure modes andpotential design solutions.
