Process Safety Calculations pdf

Preface :

The aim of this book is to provide the reader with some guidance on calculations in process safety. Accordingly, the intention of the author was not to duplicate or to emulate the many excellent literature works produced since the many years of study on process safety techniques and models, but rather to build-up a logical and fluid thread to overcome doubts, uncertainties, and difficulties often met in calculation exercises. The available literature sources offer either a broad range of different models and approaches or, even when they are calculations oriented, sometimes unavoidably and faultlessly leave some gaps in the calculation criteria; this is a fee to be paid to the richness and variety of data and information.

This book has a different target: to provide a clear indication on where to go in practical applications when a crossroads is met, and when available data are difficult to be converted into figures and findings.

Nevertheless, the theoretical and conceptual background is deemed to be effective in enabling the user to properly frame the topics and, to some extent, some aspects not included in the existing literature sources have also been dealt with, from principles to applications.
