BP Process Safety Series

Hazards of water, BP process safety series (Booklet 1), IChemE, 2004. 

BP Process Safety Series, Sharirrg the Experience, some titles were origirraUy pubhshed by Amoco (the earliest editions were first published in 1955 and entitled Process Safety Booklets ) and later by pubhshed by BP current issues now are available from the Institution of Chemical Engineers, in multiple booklets with various dates from 2004 to 2012. See www.ichem.org/bpsafetyseries. 

BP s Sharing the Experience booklets or BP Process Safety Series demonstrates BP and IChemE s ongoing commitment to process safety and best practices in the chemical manufacturing and petroleum refineiy business. They can quickly increase the reader s awareness of potential problems in industry. I believe these treasures are under-advertised in the US and at times difficult to obtain. 

Sharing the Experience booklets 2003-2004 are now available to refinery and chemical process employees for a wide range of topics of interest. BP is currently reinvigorating the series, but as of this time it is not distributed via the normal book sales route (I do not think it ever was). These superb booklets cover fundamentals and are backed up by numerous case histories of hard-learned lessons. They are chock-full of easily understood illustrations and up-to-date color photos. The Sharing the Experience booklet series is a practical, timeless process safety masterpiece that should be available in every control room. The booklet on the hazards of water was first published about 50 years ago and improved to perfection.
