The Environment
Abstract
Process safety and environmental protection are two sides of the same coin but are sometimes in conflict. Sources of discharge of gaseous, liquid and solid waste are considered-both from the point of view of routine emissions and the far worse releases that can occur in the event of a major accident. The importance of environmental impact assessments (EIA) is discussed, followed by a discussion of the impact of natural hazards on process plant safety. As with the two previous chapters, there is a brief discussion of “What Can Go Wrong”.
