PSEP aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers
in the branches of engineering concerned with the safety of industrial processes and the protection of the environment.
Papers showing
how research results can be used in process engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new
perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly
welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in safety or environmental aspects of plant or processes and that can be given
quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of traditional engineering.
