Description
A must-read for engineers and safety professionals, this book provides an in-depth look at process safety in oil and gas operations. It explores key areas such as process hazard analysis (PHA), layer of protection analysis (LOPA), and safety instrumented systems (SIS). Readers will learn about different types of industrial hazards, including fires, explosions, and toxic gas releases, and how to mitigate these risks using engineering controls and safety protocols. The book also discusses safety compliance with international standards such as API, ISO, and OSHA regulations. Advanced topics include automation in process safety and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for predictive risk management. With case studies from petrochemical plants, offshore platforms, and refineries, the book offers practical insights into maintaining operational integrity and reducing the likelihood of major accidents.
