-- Covers fundamental technical concepts, and the realities of designing cost-effective processes and physical plant.
-- Shows how to approach chemical process design problems, develop and evaluate solutions, and model complex processes.
-- Specific techniques for optimizing process synthesis and design.
Brings together all the information engineers and researchers need to develop efficient, cost-effective chemical production processes.
The book presents a systematic approach to chemical process design, covering both continuous and batch processes. Starting with the basics, the book then moves on to advanced topics. Among the topics covered are: flowsheet synthesis, mass and energy balances, equipment sizing and costing, economic evaluation, process simulation and optimization. The book also covers specific chemical processes such as distillation systems, reactor networks, separation, and heat exchange networks. It shows how to build more flexible processes, including multiproduct batch processes.
