Summary
Analysis of causes of fires and explosions and releases of toxic substances.
Properties and technical-safety parameters of dangerous substances and their
application to practice. Identification of fire and explosion hazards inside
technological facilities in chosen physical and chemical processes. Assessment of combustible file outside the facility, causes and damage during manufacture, transport and storage.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Analyze the causes of fires and explosions and release toxic substances. Explain the properties of TBP and hazardous substances and their aplikaceiv practice. Identifikaovat fire and explosion within the process equipment in selected physical and chemical processes. Predict the onset of fuel outside the installation file, cause disturbances and damage during manufacture, transport and storage.
