Description
Book Synopsis: Tom Pratt, a long-time process safety practitioner and lecturer in electrostatic safety, wrote this book to educate industry in the basics of electrostatics. It offers a selected collection of information designed to give readers the tools they need to examine the hazard potential of common industrial processes. Among the topics addressed are separation and accumulation of charge, discharge, minimum ignition energies, discharge energies, electrification in industrial processes, design and operating criteria, measurements, quantification of electrostatic scenarios. A selection of case histories helps illustrate sources of electrostatic ignition of combustibles, and strategies for preventing such incidents.
Details
If you work in an industry where fire and explosion hazards are a concern, then Tom Pratt's "Electrostatic Ignitions of Fires and Explosions" is a must-read. With his extensive experience in process safety and electrostatic safety, Pratt has compiled a wealth of information to help you understand and mitigate the risks associated with electrostatics. By reading this book, you will gain valuable insights and tools to assess the hazard potential of various industrial processes.
One of the key aspects covered in the book is the separation and accumulation of charge, which is often the precursor to potential ignition sources. By learning about the different methods used to discharge these charges safely, you will significantly reduce the risk of fire and explosion incidents in your workplace. Pratt also delves into important topics such as minimum ignition energies, discharge energies, electrification in industrial processes, and design and operating criteria that play a vital role in creating a safer work environment.
What sets this book apart is its practical approach. Pratt provides real-life case histories that illustrate the sources of electrostatic ignition of combustibles. These case studies not only help you understand the potential risks involved but also offer strategies and preventive measures to avoid similar incidents. By learning from past mistakes and implementing the recommended techniques, you can minimize the likelihood of dangerous situations arising in your own workplace.
Don't leave the safety of your employees and assets to chance. Invest in "Electrostatic Ignitions of Fires and Explosions" and equip yourself with the knowledge and tools necessary to prevent electrostatic hazards. Take the first step towards a safer work environment by ordering your copy today.
