Hazards of Water

Overview

Every year we see incidents related to water, for example operators being burned by high-temperature water, fires being started from static water flows, and foam-overs occurring in tankage due to the presence of water. This course will help operators learn how to guard against water in feed tanks, in new suction line-ups and in units during start-ups.

The course draws upon materials from the award-winning BP Process Safety Series book of the same name.
