Description
Chemical Process Equipment is a results-oriented reference for engineers who specify, design, maintain or run chemical and process plants. This book delivers information on the selection, sizing and operation of process equipment in a format that enables quick and accurate decision making on standard process and equipment choices, saving time, improving productivity, and building understanding. Coverage emphasizes common real-world equipment design rather than experimental or esoteric and focuses on maximizing performance. Chemical process equipment is of two kinds: custom designed and built, or proprietary "off the shelf." For example, the sizes and performance of custom equipment such as distillation towers, drums, and heat exchangers are derived by the process engineer on the basis of established principles and data, although some mechanical details remain in accordance with safe practice codes and individual fabrication practices. The process design of proprietary equipment, as considered in this book, establishes its required performance and is a process of selection from the manufacturers' offerings, often with their recommendations or on the basis of individual experience.
