Preface

Chemical industries are very important for our daily lives since we need various products for personal hygiene and health care, fuels for cooking and vehicles, paints and dyes, petrochemicals, synthetic fibres, water treatment chemicals, fertilisers, insecticides and pesticides for agriculture, etc. Chemical industries also make a large contribution to national economies. However, many of these industries produce or handle dangerous and highly polluting chemicals which must be very carefully controlled. Hence, the governments of all countries insist on compliance with the strict rules and regulations which are enacted to ensure the safety of personnel and the control of environmental pollution. It is necessary that management, and all those shop floor engineers working in chemical industries (who are looking after the process and maintenance) should operate their plants in a safe, pollution free manner along with an all-around efficiency in order to keep the pollution and the production costs in control while meeting the required product quality and delivery schedules for t
