SynopsisThe concept of the friendly plants and plant design is the focus of this text. By designing friendlier plants, human error, or equipment failure will not have the serious effects on safety, output or efficiency that older, less modern plans would have. In the second edition of this illustrated text, Trevor Kletz has enhanced his guide to safe plant design, featuring increased coverage of design procedures. These plants contain little inventory of hazardous materials, are simple and easy to control, and are hard to assemble incorrectly. They can be constructed, dismantled, and disposed of safely., The concept of the "friendly" chemical plant and design is the focus of this text. In this second edition, the author has enhanced his coverage of plant design and procedures.
