Series: Green Chemistry and Chemical Engineering

While hydrogen is of vital and growing importance in many industrial sectors, this volatile substance poses unique challenges, including easy leakage, low ignition energy, a wide range of combustible fuel– air mixtures, buoyancy, and its ability to embrittle metals that are required to ensure safe operation. Updated to include the latest advances in the decade since original publication, Hydrogen Safety, Second Edition highlights physiological, physical, and chemical hazards associated with hydrogen production, storage, distribution, and usage systems. Focused on providing a balanced view of hydrogen safety – one that integrates principles from physical sciences, engineering, management, and social sciences – this book is organized to address questions associated with the hazards of hydrogen and the ensuing risks associated with its industrial and public use. This book:

Addresses issues of inherently safer design, safety management systems, and safety culture.

Features updated case studies of significant accidents involving hydrogen, along with their detailed analysis and lessons learnt, and potential accident scenarios under certain conditions.

Details current research trends and perspectives on materials- based hydrogen storage solutions, hydrogen use in vehicles, and hydrogen in construction materials.

Describes Process Safety Management as applied to the process industries, in conjunction with the components of the US Department of Energy Safety Plant Elements for hydrogen safety, and covers activities of the European Commission (EC) Network of Excellence for Hydrogen Safety (HySafe).

Includes updated codes for gaseous and liquefied hydrogen and the NFPA 2 Hydrogen Technologies Code.

Concludes with research and legal requirements.

Offering a holistic view of hydrogen safety, from properties to safety systems, this book helps readers in chemical, industrial, safety, and related engineering subjects ensure a safe application and environment.
