These factors and methods for evaluating their effects are discussed in greater detail in American Petroleum Institute publications (API RP521) [36], Lees [37], and Wells [38],... 

It is not the intent of this chapter to review in detail the types of inspection tools, techniques, and procedures. Recent American Petroleum Institute publications, available at moderate costs, do an excellent job in that respect.

The American Petroleum Institute Publication 302 (1991) discusses source reduction, recycle, treatment, and disposal of wastes. Other source reduction techniques are given by Smith and Petela (1991). The U.K. Institution of Chemical Engineers has published a guide to waste minimization, IChemE (1997).

The design practices compiled in this volume were derived firom the literature of the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM), the American Petroleum Institute (API), the ANSI Codes, a review of company specific literature including company design practices and general publications, and the author s personal notes compiled over the years as a consultant and practicing engineer, as well as an instructor to Venezuelan refinery and chemical plant operations. 

To promote uniformity in area classifications for oil and gas drilling and producing facilities, the American Petroleum Institute developed RP 500, Recommended Practice for Classification of Locations for Electri cal Installations at Petroleum Facilities Classified as Class 1, Division 1. and Division 2. Figures 17-4 to 17-14 show some common recommended classifications surrounding common production facility equipment as given in RP 500. API RP 500 also provides valuable tutorial information on the philosophies of area classification and the reader is encouraged to become familiar with this publication.

Muskie s public hearing, held in Washington, D.C., in June 1966, revealed that 480,000 of petroleum industry money was helping to finance a Bureau of Mines study of antiknock compounds. With no funds to conduct its own research, the government agency had agreed to publish the petroleum-funded study only if the American Petroleum Institute approved its contents.
