Guidelines for Post-Release Mitigation in the Chemical Process Industry, Hardcover by Center For Chemical Process Safety (COR), ISBN 0816905886, ISBN-13 9780816905881, Brand New, Free shipping in the US

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.
