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.
