Process Safety Calculations Summary

Process Safety Calculations by Renato Benintendi (Senior Researcher, Chemical Physical Department ULB University, Brussels Process Safety and Loss Prevention Principal Consultant,Wood (Formerly Foster Wheeler), Reading Office)

Process Safety Calculations, Second Edition remains to be an essential guide for students and practitioners in process safety engineering who are working on calculating and predicting risks and consequences. The book focuses on calculation procedures based on basic chemistry, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, conservation equations, kinetics and practical models. It provides helpful calculations to demonstrate compliance with regulations and standards, such as Seveso directive(s)/COMAH, CLP regulation, ATEX directives, PED directives, REACH regulation, OSHA/NIOSH and UK ALARP, along with risk and consequence assessment, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, stress analysis and fluid-dynamics. This fully revised, updated and expanded second edition follows the same organization as the first, including the original three main parts, Fundamentals, Consequence Assessment and Quantitative Risk Assessment. However, the latter part is significantly expanded, including an appendix consisting of five fundamental thematic areas belonging to the risk assessment framework, including in-depth calculations methodologies for some fundamental monothematic macro-areas of process safety.

Process Safety Calculations Reviews

I find this book offers an excellent mix of rigorous technical calculations to support risk quantification in a wide range of cases and practical knowledge which is what gives it a real value within the available literature. It would be excellent as a textbook for safety courses in chemical engineering programmes in higher education but it is equally an excellent reference for graduates starting their careers or practicing engineers. --The Chemical Engineer
