Guidelines for Process Safety in Bioprocess Manufacturing Facilities

This book helps advance process safety in a key area of interest. Currently, no literature exists which is solely dedicated to process safety for the bioprocessing industry. There are texts, guidelines, and standards on biosafety at the laboratory level and for industrial hygiene, but no guidelines for large-scale production facilities. In fact, biosafety is largely defined as a field that promotes safe laboratory practices, procedures and use of containment equipment and facilities. Additionally, biomedical engineers, biologists, or other professionals without chemical engineering training or knowledge of inherently safe design are designing many of these facilities.

Keywords: guidelines for engineering design for process safety, process safety, process safety in the bioprocessing industry, process safety issues in the design of biochemical facilities, process safety issues in the design of bioprocess facilities, process safety standards, Chemical and Environmental Health and Safety, Pharmaceutical & Medicinal Chemistry, Chemical and Environmental Health and Safety, Pharmaceutical & Medicinal Chemistry
