Synopsis

The analysis of industrial problems is an important part of chemical engineering research. This book examines the problem of plant measurements and experiments from the planning stages, through to data processing, and finally to the presentation of results. Part of the book is devoted to problems of measurement in connection with an analysis of existing plants. Attention is also focused on redundant data processing, mainly in connection with material and energy balancing. There are over 30 solved examples and four case studies, all of which illustrate and clarify the text. With increased competition and reduced market growth over the past five to seven years, companies have had to shift their expansionist strategy to one of "rationalization". Much attention is paid to optimization of existing processes by making a thorough chemical analysis, usually based on plant measurements which are rarely complete and often corrupted by systematic errors of measurement. This text aims to provide insight into the analysis of these industrial problems.
