Facilities which utilize hazardous liquids and gases represent a significant potential liability to the owner, operator, and general public in terms of personnel safety and preservation of assets. It is obvious that a catastrophic incident or loss of property or personnel is to be avoided at all costs.

This book was conceived to give the reader a guide to understanding the requirements of the various codes and regulations that apply to the design, construction, and operation of facilities utilizing hazardous materials in their processes.

This book explains the highly complex code compliance and permitting process for advanced technology facilities that use all types of hazardous materials. It is a complete rewrite of the best selling Code Compliance for Advanced Technology Facilities by William R. Acorn in 1993.
