Continuous Monitoring for Hazardous Material Releases The definitive overview of catastrophic release monitoring systems Whether occurring accidentally or through acts of terrorism, catastrophic chemical releases must be identified early in order to mitigate their consequences. Done correctly, continuous sensor monitoring can detect such releases early enough to curb extensive damage. Continuous Monitoring for Hazardous Material Releases details how to properly utilize this emerging technique to ensure the highest level of safety for a variety of sites. Written to help today's facility effectively deploy and operate its detection system, whether existing or new, this guide covers: * Available gas sensors, including basic descriptions of how each type works, their capabilities and limitations * Establishing objectives for gas detection systems and incorporating them into existing operating and emergency procedures * Placing gas detectors to maximize detection success * Managing gas detection system design, alarm, and operating parameters * Case studies illustrating successes and failures with concrete examples The definitive overview of catastrophic release monitoring systems, Continuous Monitoring for Hazardous Material Releases provides an essential resource for process safety and loss prevention professionals in industry, academia, and government. Since 1985, the Center For Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) has been the world leader in developing and disseminating information on process safety management and technology. CCPS, an industry technology alliance of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), has published over eighty books in its process safety guidelines and process safety concepts series. Founded in 1939, the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) is one of the largest international associations serving the needs of occupational and environmental health professionals practicing industrial hygiene in industry, government, labor, academic institutions, and independent organizations.
