Since 1967, the AIChE Loss Prevention proceedings series has been one of the most reliable sources of practical information on reducing accidents in the chemical process industries-from the "nitty-gritty" mechanics of valves and interlocks to the design and implementation of sophisticated new process analysis and control tools. The recently published 31st edition of the series continues this tradition of excellence, presenting "plant-proven" strategies for safer design, operation, and maintenance.

Featuring 40 papers presented at the March 1997 conference, the book explores topics in control systems for unit operation safety; mechanical integrity and maintenance of process plant components; fire and explosion prevention and protection; pressure relief systems; use of consequence modeling in risk reduction; and storage, processing, and transportation of hazardous chemicals. Case histories of loss prevention incidents-and what can be learned from them-round out the volume.
