Process Safety Calculations, Second Edition remains to be an essential guide for students and practitioners in process safety engineering who are working on calculating and predicting risks and consequences. The book focuses on calculation procedures based on basic chemistry, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, conservation equations, kinetics and practical models. It provides helpful calculations to demonstrate compliance with regulations and standards, such as Seveso directive(s)/COMAH, CLP regulation, ATEX directives, PED directives, REACH regulation, OSHA/NIOSH and UK ALARP, along with risk and consequence assessment, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, stress analysis and fluid-dynamics.

This fully revised, updated and expanded second edition follows the same organization as the first, including the original three main parts, Fundamentals, Consequence Assessment and Quantitative Risk Assessment. However, the latter part is significantly expanded, including an appendix consisting of five fundamental thematic areas belonging to the risk assessment framework, including in-depth calculations methodologies for some fundamental monothematic macro-areas of process safety.

PART 1: FUNDAMENTALS 1. Chemistry of Process Safety 2. Thermodynamics and Thermochemistry of Process Safety 3. Reaction Engineering for Process Safety 4. Fluid-Dynamics for Process Safety 5. Loads and Stress Analysis for Process Safety 6. Statistics and Reliability for Process Safety

PART 2: CONSEQUENCE ASSESSMENT 7. Source Models 8. Dispersion Models 9. Fire 10. Explosions 11. Dust Explosions

PART 3: QUANTITATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT 12. Quantitative Risk Assessment 13. Explosion protection of vessels and enclosures 14. Structural dynamics of buildings subject to explosion loads 15. Mitigation of toxic risk 16. Layer of Protection Analysis for SIL assignment 17. Calculations for equipment asset integrity management
