Plant design for safety : a user friendly approach (2nd ed)

The concept of the "friendly" plants and plant design is the focus of this text.

In the second edition of this illustrated text, Trevor Kletz has enhanced his guide to safe plant design, featuring increased coverage of design procedures.

These plants contain little inventory of hazardous materials, are simple and easy to control, and are hard to assemble incorrectly.

They can be constructed, dismantled, and disposed of safely.
