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 fac 606 $aChemical plants$xFires and fire prevention 606 $aExplosions$xSafety measures 606 $aExplosions 606 $aPetroleum refineries$xFires and fire prevention 615 0$aChemical plants$xFires and fire prevention. 615 0$aExplosions$xSafety measures. 615 0$aExplosions. 615 0$aPetroleum refineries$xFires and fire prevention. 676 $a660.2804 700 $aNolan$b Dennis P$023146 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807089903321 996 $aHandbook of fire and explosion protection engineering principles$93921168 997 $aUNINA
