Safety in process industries is of utmost necessity to ensure protection from hazards. The aim of this book is to elucidate the hazards and preventive measures for a few of such specific industrial processes. Starting with overview of the prevalent industrial accidents, types of hazards and safety provisions, the book contains nineteen chapters with each one of them consisting of a unique case study comprising of basic causes, results and discussion, and protective measures to be adopted to overcome such situation. Topics covered include caprolactam storage tank accident, fire explosion accident caused by static electricity, and human factors risk and management in process safety and so forth. Aimed at researchers, professionals, graduate students in Chemical Engineering, Safety Management, Risk Assessment, Chemical Process Safety, this book: Provides exhaustive coverage of industrial case studies on their hazards and safety issues in the process industry set-up. Includes quantitative discussion on new and existing technologies and methodologies. Explores high quality descriptive and quantified data for better visualization of each chapter. Gives detailed description on various industrial accidents, their related consequences and available safety/preventive measures. Discusses preventive measures taken by world class industries in their production plants.

Dr. Mihir Kumar Purkait is a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Head Centre for the Environment at Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IITG). Prior to joining as faculty in IITG (2004), he has received his PhD and M. Tech in Chemical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IITKGP) after completing his B. Tech and B. Sc (Hons) in Chemistry from University of Calcutta. He has received several awards like; Dr. A.V. Rama Rao Foundation’s Best PhD Thesis and Research Award in Chemical Engineering from IIChE (2007), BOYSCAST Fellow award (2009-10) from the DST, Young Engineers Award in the field of Chemical Engineering from the Institute of Engineers (India, 2009), Young Scientist Medal award from the Indian National Science Academy (INSA, 2009). Prof. Purkait is a Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) UK, and Fellow of Institute of Engineers (FIE) India. He is the director of 2 incubated company (viz. RD Grow Green India Pvt. Ltd. and Vixudha Bio Products Ltd.). He is also technical advisor of Gammon India Ltd and Indian Oil Corporation, Bethkuchi for their treatment plant. His current research activities are focused in four distinct areas viz. i) advanced separation technologies, ii) waste to energy, iii) smart materials for various applications and iv) process intensification. In each of the area, his goal is to synthesis stimuli responsive materials and to develop a more fundamental understanding of the factors governing the performance of the chemical and biochemical processes. He has more than 20 years of experience in academics and research and published more than 200 papers in different reputed journals. He has 8 patents and completed 24 sponsored and consultancy projects from various funding agencies. Prof. Purkait has guided 18 PhD students. He has authored 6 books in CRC press, Academic press and Springer. Dr. Piyal Mondal received his B Tech in Chemical Engineering from NIT Durgapur. He pursued M-Tech and PhD from IIT Guwahati in Chemical Engineering. His research work is dedicated to preparation of zero-valent nanomaterial through green synthesis methodology, as well metal-metal nano-composite material. Research work focuses on the hazardous analysis of the synthesized materials towards treatment of drinking water. Moreover his studies also include polymeric membrane preparation for wastewater treatment, protein separation, value added product separation from biogenic source etc. Fabricating prototype for analysing specific contaminant through photo-luminescent activity is also a part of his study. He has authored 3 book, 2 by Elsevier (AP, ISBN: 9780128139615, 9780128188019), one by CRC Press (Taylor & Francis, ISBN: 9781138393417) published 8 and already submitted 7 papers in international journals. He has received several awards in his field in international and national conferences. His contribution is essential in every steps starting from formulation of proposal to final submission of book.Dr. Murchana Changmai, Research Associate at Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited R&D Centre is an active researcher. Currently she works in the field of kinetic modeling for catalyst deactivation, oxidative and extractive desulfurization studies. She completed her PhD (2019) and Masters (2014) from Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati where she extensively worked in the field of water treatment utilizing various methods such as membrane separation, electrocoagulation and adsorption. She also has experience in the fabrication of inorganic membranes and adsorbents (nanoparticles, organic adsorbents and composite adsorbents). She has also done internships at Gifu University, Japan and SeoulTech, South Korea during her tenure as a PhD scholar. Dr. Changmai has published 10 papers, 2 book chapters and filed 1 patent as of now. Being in the petroleum industry, she is aware of the basic SOPs followed for any experiment and MSDS, HAZOP necessities for the incident free work environment and the safety of all its researchers.Dr. Vikranth Volli is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Safety, Health and Environment, at National Yunlin University of Science and Technology (YunTech), Douliou, Taiwan. Before joining YunTech, he has received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati and M.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela after completing his B.Tech in Chemical Engineering from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, India. His research work is dedicated to studies relating the thermal behavior, oxidative stability, and hazard analysis of ionic liquids, agricultural residues, ester based lube, and commercial oils.
