Download or read book Guidelines for Postrelease Mitigation Technology in the Chemical Process Industry written by American Institute of Chemical Engineers. Center for Chemical Process Safety. This book was released on 1996-12-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Members of the Center for Chemical Process Safety describe the current engineering practices for minimizing the consequences when toxic vapors or the ignition of flammable vapors have been accidently released despite the prevention methods they have previously identified. They focus on post-release systems, either passive such as dikes or berms around storage tanks; or active such as water-spray, deluge, or spraying foam. They do not cover fire fighting, blast protection, or environmental control of response methods Covers release scenarios, reducing vaporization, fluid curtains, secondary containment, detection and response, and examples of mitigation effectiveness.
