Center for Chemical Process Safety. In 1985, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers estabHshed the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) (New York). The objective of the CCPS was to help prevent catastrophic chemical accidents by compiling information on the latest scientific and engineering practices, safety programs, and adininistrative procedures of the larger members of the chemical industry, so that they can be shared with other (and particularly the smaller) members of the chemical and petrochemical industries. 

Other publications include the proceedings of six international conferences and symposia three training courses and a computeri2ed bibliography of Guideline references, all available from the Center for Chemical Process Safety (1-800-242-4363).

Fireballs Giant hazardous fireballs result from large BLEX s. Several formulas for BLE physical parameters and thermal radiation hazards have been summarized by the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and by Pruffh. (See AlChE/CCPS, 1989 Prugh, 1994.) For the maximum fireball diameter, in meters, CCPS has selected... 

The Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) has identified the need for a publication dealing with process safety issues unique to batch reaction systems. This book, Guidelines for Process Safety in Batch Reaction Systems, attempts to aid in the safe design, operation and maintenance of batch and semi-batch reaction systems. In this book the terms batch and semi-batch are used interchangeably for simplicity. The objectives of the book are to ...
