Fire and explosion incidents are among the most critical impacts than can occur to these operations. This book provides a reference guide for professionals involved with fire and explosion prevention and protection aspects of these critical facilities. The main objectives of this handbook are to provide a practical understanding of fire and explosion problems at oil, gas and chemical facChemical plantsFires and fire preventionExplosionsSafety measuresExplosionsPetroleum refineriesFires and fire preventionElectronic books.Chemical plantsFires and fire prevention.ExplosionsSafety measures.Explosions.Petroleum refineriesFires and fire prevention.660.2804Nolan Dennis P23146MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459507603321Handbook of fire and explosion protection engineering principles2018635UNINA
