Pool Fires in Chemical Process Industries

After a brief overview of accidents in chemical process industries and an explanation of the concept of pool fire, this book offers several illustrative case histories to give an idea of diversity of process units, type of chemical industry, and chemicals involved in pool fire incidences. Subsequent chapters present different experiments that have been done to understand the nature of pool fire and models that have been developed to predict the consequences of pool fire. The last chapter discusses different techniques used for pool fire management and control.
