Case Studies in Environmental Technology - IChemE

Paul Sharratt

A member of the BP Process Safety Series developed as a complement to safety training, this text makes the perfect reference tool and training aid. The book increases the awareness of operators within the chemical and process industries, to the hazards of electricity and static electricity. It begins by describing how electrical and static electrical hazards can occur, before pointing out the potential hazards. This second edition includes a section on arc flash and blast hazards and two new incident descriptions covering storage tank filling hazards and lightning hazards. Using case studies of actual accidents to highlight the potential threats and explain the possible causes before giving potential safeguards, it raises the knowledge and awareness of operators to the dangers of electricity and static electricity, enabling them to spot hazards before accidents occur. The book concludes with a self-test section allowing readers to test their understanding of the! information presented. An excellent introduction to the topic for students.
Produced by BP and endorsed by IChemE's Loss Prevention Panel, these books were developed to complement safety training. They are ideal reference tools within the workplace, increasing awareness of hazards and helping operators to understand safe operating practices and procedures.

The Red Book has been the subject of a detailed review. This new edition takes into account users' experiences and the latest thinking in project execution. The impact of recent legislation is also covered. The guidance section is now separated into two parts with Section 1 providing specific guidance on completing the Contract Agreement, its annex, the specification and schedules which themselves have been increased in number, and Section 2 the guidance notes, discussing general issues to aid understanding, highlighting areas where special conditions may need to be written for the users' requirements.IChemE, the Institution of Chemical Engineers, is the center for chemical, biochemical and process engineering professionals worldwide.

The intention of a target cost contract is to encourage both parties in the contract to work together to find ways of carrying out the work as efficiently as possible and to be rewarded as a result (ie pain/gain share). This brand new Form of Contract sets out a procedure for arriving at a target cost that is sufficiently detailed to be used as the basis for effective control during the contract.IChemE, the Institution of Chemical Engineers, is the center for chemical, biochemical and process engineering professionals worldwide.

Up-dated with recent case studies, 'Control of Work' proposes a formal approach to manage work-related risks through a Control of Work Standard - a procedural form of control, consisting of 12 elements. The standard, developed by BP, covers construction, maintenance, demolition, re-mediation and other aspects of safety control, reducing the risks workers in the oil and chemical Industries are exposed to, as well as serving to decrease the potential harm to third parties. The guide explains the 12 steps in detail and comes complete with user-friendly instructions, clear illustrations and examples of previous incidents.IChemE, the Institution of Chemical Engineers, is the center for chemical, biochemical and process engineering professionals worldwide.

Light end materials, such as LNG or LPG, have poor safety reputation because of a few famous incidents such as Cleveland, Feyzin, Los Alfaques and Mexico City but when handled properly by well-trained personnel in correctly design installations, they present no more risk than other energy sources. This booklet raises the awareness of operators, engineers and technicians to the main hazards of light ends (methane to penthane). Using examples of actual accidents, enabling operators to spot and rectify potential hazards before incidents occur.
