F, B, and n have been estimated from cost data published by the Institution of Chemical Engineers, IChemE (1987), updated to mid-1992. This includes the cost of fittings, installation and testing. A log-log plot of the data gives the following expressions for the installed cost ... 

The contribution of each of these items to the total capital cost is calculated by multiplying the total purchased equipment by an appropriate factor. As with the basic Lang factor , these factors are best derived from historical cost data for similar processes. Typical values for the factors are given in several references, Happle and Jordan (1975) and Garrett (1989). Guthrie (1974), splits the costs into the material and labour portions and gives separate factors for each. In a booklet published by the Institution of Chemical Engineers, IChemE (1988), the factors are shown as a function of plant size and complexity.

Only one publicly available database is designed to provide such information. The Accident Database from the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) contains lessons learned for one-fourth of the 12,000 incidents in the database. 

The purpose of this guidebook, written by Barton and Rogers for the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), is to provide a basis for good practice in assessing reactive hazards. It is written for those responsible for design and operation of chemical plants. It addresses hazards from uncontrolled exothermic activity in batch and semibatch chemical reaction systems as well as associated process equipment.

The British Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) offers links to a comprehensive list of well over a 150 other websites of incident reports. The IChemE site mainly describes incidents of interest to chemical or process engineers. The incidents cover a broad time span from historical to todays events. The collection includes both information and viewpoints. The address of this site is http //slp.icheme.org/incidents.html. [1]... 

The Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) offers the Loss Prevention Bulletin— Articles and Case Histories from Process Industries Throughout the World. Contact Matthew Powell-Price, editor. This Bulletin is published every second month and is available on a subscription basis. 

In this section the fundamental principles of the pinch technology method for energy integration will be outlined and illustrated with reference to a simple problem. The method and its applications are described fully in a guide published by the Institution of Chemical Engineers, IChemE (1994) see also Douglas (1988). 

The monthly CCPS Process Safety Beacon (CCPS, Beacon) is designed for manufacturing personnel, describing actual accidents, the lessons learned, and the practical means to prevent a similar accident in other plants. Similarly, the United Kingdom s Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) Loss Prevention Bulletin (IChemE, LPB) is another major source of safety case studies for the process industries. Included with each LPB issue is a Powerpoint Toolbox Talk on one... 

The chemical industry can be one of the leaders of the sustainable post-industrial age if the following challenge issued from The Institution of Chemical Engineers, IChemE (Melbourne Communique, 2001) is met. 

It is to be noted that there is no need to duplicate any method of protection or prevention. Methods of dust explosion prevention and protection are described in three Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) gnides [30-32] and in Refs. [33] and [34]. 

The Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) have recently produced a Health and Safety Activities Box . This includes over 100 activities designed by primary science advisers from the Northamptonshire Inspection and Advisory Service in collaboration with the Health and Saferty Commission and Executive.
