Full Description
The approaches to the design of process plants described in this work, lead to process designs which require 30-40% less capital. The text discusses design philosophies and provides a structured approach for the implementation of planned and existing plants. There are also numerous examples to illustrate what simple design can create. As this text illustrates how to apply these new approaches to achieve competitive processes it should be of interest to students, as well as experienced engineers and managers involved in process design, control design and operation,
