Domino Effects in the Process Industries: Modelling, Prevention and Managing

Domino Effects in the Process Industries discusses state-of-the-art theories, conceptual models, insights and practical issues surrounding large-scale knock-on accidents - so-called domino effects - in the chemical and process industries.

The book treats such extremely low-frequency phenomena from a technological perspective, studying possible causes and introducing several approaches to assess and control the risks of these scenarios. The authors also examine these events from a managerial viewpoint, discussing single and multi-plant management insights and requirements to take pro-active measures to prevent such events. Academics, regulators, and industrialists who study and analyze domino effects in order to prevent such events will find the book unique and highly valuable.

• Outlines available methods in analyzing these events, aiding understanding of the accidents and their causes
• Covers current modelling, control and management tactics of domino effects, -facilitating prevention
• Identifies areas where new research is needed
