About This Book
Process Plant Design
An introductory practical guide to process plant design for students of chemical engineering and practicing chemical engineers.
Process Plant Design provides an introductory practical guide to the subject for undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemical engineering, and practicing chemical engineers.
- Process Plant Design starts by presenting general background from the early stages of chemical process projects and moves on to deal with the infrastructure required to support the operation of process plants.
- The reliability, maintainability and availability issues addressed in the text are important for process safety, and the avoidance of high maintenance costs, adverse environmental impact, and unnecessary process breakdowns that might prevent production targets being achieved.
- A practical approach is presented for the systematic synthesis of process control schemes, which has traditionally received little attention, especially when considering overall process control systems.
- The development of preliminary piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) is addressed, which are key documents in process engineering.
- A guide is presented for the choice of materials of construction, which affects resistance to corrosion, mechanical design and the capital cost of equipment.
- Whilst the final mechanical design of vessels and equipment is normally carried out by specialist mechanical engineers, it is still necessary for process designers to have an understanding of mechanical design for a variety of reasons.
- Finally, Process Plant Design considers layout, which has important implications for safety, environmental impact, and capital and operating costs.
To aid reader comprehension, Process Plant Design features worked examples throughout the text.
Process Plant Design is a valuable resource on the subject for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemical engineering, as well as practicing chemical engineers working in process design. The text is also useful for industrial disciplines related to chemical engineering working on the design of chemical processes.
