Book description
This book helps advance process safety in a key area of interest.
Currently, no literature exists which is solely dedicated to process
safety for the bioprocessing industry. There are texts, guidelines, and
standards on biosafety at the laboratory level and for industrial
hygiene, but no guidelines for large-scale production facilities. In
fact, biosafety is largely defined as a field that promotes safe
laboratory practices, procedures and use of containment equipment and
facilities. Additionally, biomedical engineers, biologists, or other
professionals without chemical engineering training or knowledge of
inherently safe design are designing many of these facilities. Since
1985, the
Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS)
has been the world leader in developing and disseminating information
on process safety management and technology. CCPS, an industry
technology alliance of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers
(AIChE), has published over 80 books in its process safety guidelines
and process safety concepts series, and over 100 training modules
through its Safety in Chemical Engineering Education (SACHE)
series.
