Fires in Silos: Hazards, Prevention, and Fire Fighting by Ulrich Krause
Wiley-VCH; 1 edition | March 2, 2009 | English | ISBN: 3527314679 | 156 pages | PDF | 8 MB

Providing many lessons learned from past silo fires coupled with in-depth knowledge from experts, this book explains current prevention measures in detail – helping to prevent future damage. It covers numerous types of fire detection devices and fire fighting equipment, backed by extensive data tables listing fire and explosion characteristics of bulk materials, color photographs of silos on fire and documentation of firefighters' actions. In addition, diagrams and formulas as well as pre-prepared check lists are included for risk assessment and fire fighting actions. Possibly lifesaving reading for chemists in industry, engineers, chemical engineers, health officers, environmental consultants, instructors in the chemical industry, as well as chemicals suppliers and safety officers.
