This three-volume reference work is the standard authoritative resource on process safety and loss prevention in the chemical and process industries. Originally authored by Frank P. Lees and substantially revised and expanded under the editorship of Sam Mannan, the third edition covers the full spectrum of hazard identification, risk assessment, and control applicable to chemical plants, petroleum refineries, and related process facilities. Topics include plant layout and design for safety, pressure vessel integrity, fire and explosion hazards, toxic release modelling, emergency planning, process control and safety instrumentation, and accident case studies including Flixborough, Bhopal, Piper Alpha, and Chernobyl. The work integrates UK, European, and US regulatory standards and codes of practice. Intended for process safety engineers, chemical engineers, plant managers, safety consultants, and researchers. An essential reference for academic libraries serving chemical and process engineering programmes.
