Process Plant Design for Chemical Engineers

Process Plant Design for Chemical Engineers: Guide to Practical Aspects of Engineering Decision Making serves as a practical guide for making appropriate, evidence-based decisions in process design. The book provides descriptions and analysis of many examples of real applications from different industries as examples of good and bad decisions, particularly how the information was used. Lessons learned from each example are considered and described to help engineers understand the risks associated with process design decisions and effective management. This resource will be valuable for both chemical engineering students and engineers in industry with it guidance on evidence-based decisions to ensure successful outcomes.

It will also be incredibly helpful to engineers faced with the task of scaling up a new process based on lab-scale research, especially those tasked with plant design and designing commercial scale processes. Students and engineers in a range of process industries such as chemical processing, minerals processing, food and wine, energy engineering, and similar related engineering fields will also find the content useful.
