Processing Industry Association

China Plastics Processing Industry Association (CPPIA)... 

China Plastics Processing Industry Association (CPPIA) was founded in 1989. CPPIA is composed of more than 2000 plastics industry and related industry units on a voluntary basis. CPPIA is attached to the state-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council and the National Light Industry Council and its work is... 

He has written widely and developed numerous patents within the polymer-related industries. Rosato is a participating member of many trade and industry groups, such as the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE), Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI), Plastics Institute of America (PIA), China Plastics Processing Industry Association (CPPIA) and Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE), and currently is involved in these areas with PlastiSource, Inc and Plastics FALLO. 

The purpose of hazard analysis and risk assessment ia the chemical process industry is to (/) characterize the hazards associated with a chemical facihty (2) determine how these hazards can result in an accident, and (J) determine the risk, ie, the probabiUty and the consequence of these hazards. The complete procedure is shown in Figure 1 (see also Industrial hygiene Plant safety).

The electrochemical process industries are confronted with a wide range of hazards. These include electrical hazards, various explosion hazards, and the hazards associated with exposure to reactive chemicals.

Responsible Care An initiative implemented by the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) in 1988 to assist in leading chemical processing industry companies in ethical ways that increasingly benefit society, the economy and the environment while adhering to ten key principles. 

This type of seal has the rotary component and face mounted outside the seal chamber. The springs and drive elements are outside the pumped liquid. This reduces the problems associated with corrosion and the accumulation of pumped product clogging the springs. This seal is popular in the food processing industry. The pumped liquid arrives to the inside diameter of the faces and seals toward the outside diameter. The environment outside the pump approaches the OD of the face union. Pressures are limited to about 35 psig. Sometimes this. seal can be mounted either inside or outside the pump. This seal is easy to install, adjust, and maintain. It permits easy access and cleaning of the pump internal parts, often required in the food processing industry. 

Association of Danish Process Industries (PIAF/PIBF)... 

Industrial association of chemical and hydrocarbon manufacturers concerned with safety issues in the production, transportation and processing of their potentially haz-ardous and toxic materials. 

Many companies are quite wiiiing to share information on their PSM programs with other firms. CCPS and industry associations provide good places for networking to make the initial contacts that begin this. Attending process safety conferences is a good way to meet people who share your interest in PSM. 

Despite the lack of interest in human factors issues in the CPI in the past, the situation is now changing. In 1985, Trevor Kletz published his landmark book on human error in the CPI An Engineer s View of Human Error (revised in 1991). Several other books by the same author e.g., Kletz (1994b) have also addressed the issue of human factors in case studies. Two other publications have also been concerned specifically with human factors in the process industry Lorenzo (1990) was commissioned by the Chemical Manufacturers Association in the USA, and Mill (1992), published by the U.K. Institution of Chemical Engineers. In 1992, CCPS and other organizations sponsored a conference on Human Factors and Human Reliability in Process Safety (CCPS, 1992c). This was further evidence of the growing interest in the topic within the CPI.
