Summary:

"This book, written specifically for PHA Facilitators, is designed to offer the benefit of actual operations experience from a 15-year career in chemical production. This book looks at specific types of industrial equipment and their failure modes. For each type of equipment, historical failures are discussed with examples. Then, a checklist of questions is provided. The PHA facilitator should ask those specific questions of the PHA team when examining that specific type of equipment. Chapters include specific types of chemical-manufacturing equipment, including distillation columns, boilers, centrifugal pumps, positive-displacement pumps, fluidized beds, etc"-- Provided by publisher.
