Written by an engineer for engineers, this book is both training manual and on-going reference, bringing together all the different facets of the complex processes that must be in place to minimize the risk to people, plant and the environment from fires, explosions, vapour releases and oil spills. Fully compliant with international regulatory requirements, relatively compact but comprehensive in its coverage, engineers, safety professionals and concerned company management will buy this book to capitalize on the author's life-long expertise. This is the only book focusing specifically on oil and gas and related chemical facilities. This new edition includes updates on management practices, lessons learned from recent incidents, and new material on chemical processes, hazards and risk reviews (e.g. CHAZOP). Latest technology on fireproofing, fire and gas detection systems and applications is also covered. An introductory chapter on the philosophy of protection principles along with fundamental background material on the properties of the chemicals concerned and their behaviours under industrial conditions, combined with a detailed section on modern risk analysis techniques makes this book essential reading for students and professionals following Industrial Safety, Chemical Process Safety and Fire Protection Engineering courses. - A practical, results-oriented manual for practicing engineers, bringing protection principles and chemistry together with modern risk analysis techniques - Specific focus on oil and gas and related chemical facilities, making it comprehensive and compact - Includes the latest best practice guidance, as well as lessons learned from recent incidents

Aircraft fuel tank fire and explosion protection techniques are described in this two part report which covers both state-of-the-art and advanced concepts. The state-of-the-art section reviews, in handbook form, the fire and explosion protection techniques currently available for immediate aircraft incorporation. These fire protection techniques include open celled flexible foam, closed cell rigid foam, purge mats, and fire extinguishing systems. Both fully packed and voided reticulated foam, nitrogen inerting, fuel fogging, and extinguisher type explosion suppression systems are discussed under the heading of explosion protection techniques. The advanced explosion protection technique section includes descriptions of on-board nitrogen generating concepts and combination systems of foam/nitrogen/fuel-air fog. In addition, the data and results from a small scale test program evaluating the combination type protection concepts is presented.

Fire and Explosion Protection for the Combustible Dust Processing Industries. A spark by itself is not dangerous. For a fire or explosion to occur, there must be three essential ingredients - a combustible material, oxygen, and an ignition source. If one of these three is eliminated, then so is the potential for fire or explosion.In today's production plants, we often have to cope with all of the components that lead to a fire or cause an explosion. Dust/fume extraction systems and pneumatic conveyors increase the danger of fire. Once sparks or glowing embers are created, the pneumatic extraction system conveys these hazards to other areas. At this point, two of the three ingredients for the creation of fires and/or explosions are transported. When this conveyed danger meets a supply of combustible materials (filter cloth, deposited dust or the material in the separator or silo) it becomes more likely that the feared reaction will occur. Increased environmental protection measures regarding dust emissions and tightened regulations for air pollution have lead to the increased use of filter systems, and has increased the danger of dust explosions and fires due to the concentration of the combustible material at the filter. Because of the high cost of heating and cooling plant buildings, many air systems return the clean air directly back into the production facility. This practice, although energy efficient, presents an additional hazard if the collector catches fire. This fire will be propagated via the return air duct into the plant structure with devastating consequences.
