Description
At a time when every country is concerned with global pollution and environmental damage, governments and industries are currently working hard to identify areas of leakage and formulate a range of solutions to achieve major improvements. The chemical, oil and gas industries have made significant progress in improving thier performance. This has resulted in a reduction in leakages to atmosphere and also reductions in product losses - benefits which have meant real savings in materials. Companies who are at the forefront of these developments are achieving a competitive advantage by pursuing a policy of improvement. The demands for stringent controls on process equipment are constantly increasing and product plants are becoming the focus on legislation to control environmental contamination. Loss of plant or equipment availability, environmental damage, lost or spoiled production, and expensive maintenance can often be avoided by applying new techniques, materials and methods.
This text presents contributions from practising engineers in the process industries and covers such topics as: understanding the extent of the problem; responding to legislation and regulatory demands; and self-regulation - working towards improved industrial performance.
