Synopsis

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,

About this title

Review

The author's faculties of abstraction, combined with his long-term experience in process design, have resulted in this first practical book on robust and simple design, covering the entire field of chemical engineering. This book will prove to be an indispensable tool for all engineers in the operation, design, and development processes. Moreover, it will inspire them in their daily work, and also open their eyes to the many opportunities and challenges that they will encounter in the future. Highly experienced process designers will also find stimulating suggestions in this book, and we can be sure that it will have a major impact on our future plants, making them - in time - better, simpler, and more robust!
