Book Description

Chemical processing should form part of a sustainable industrial activity. For chemical processing, this means that processes should use raw materials as efficiently as is economic and practicable, both to prevent the production of waste that can be environmentally harmful and to preserve the reserves of raw materials as much as possible. Processes should use as little energy as economic and practicable, both to prevent the build-up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels and to preserve reserves of fossil fuels. Water must also be consumed in sustainable quantities that do not cause deterioration in the quality of the water source and the long-term quantity of the reserves. Aqueous and atmospheric emissions must not be environmentally harmful, and solid waste to landfill must be avoided. Finally, all aspects of chemical processing must feature good health and safety practice.

It is important for the designer to understand the limitations of the methods used in chemical process design. The best way to understand the limitations is to understand the derivations of the equations used and the assumptions on which the equations are based. Where practical, the derivation of the design equations has been included in the text.

The book is intended to provide a practical guide to chemical process design and integration for undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemical engineering, practicing process designers and chemical engineers and applied chemists working in process development. Examples have been included throughout the text. Most of these examples do not require specialist software and can be performed on spreadsheet software. Finally, a number of exercises have been added at the end of each chapter to allow the reader to practice the calculation procedures.

Download Description

This book deals with the design and integration of chemical processes, emphasizing the conceptual issues that are fundamental to the creation of the process. Chemical process design requires the selection of a series of processing steps and their integration to form a complete manufacturing system. The text emphasizes both the design and selection of the steps as individual operations and their integration. Also, the process will normally operate as part of an integrated manufacturing site consisting of a number of processes serviced by a common utility system. The design of utility systems has been dealt with in the text so that the interactions between processes and the utility system and interactions between different processes through the utility system can be exploited to maximize the performance of the site as a whole. Chemical processing should form part of a sustainable industrial activity. For chemical processing, this means that processes should use raw materials as efficiently as is economic and practicable, both to prevent the production of waste that can be environmentally harmful and to preserve the reserves of raw materials as much as possible.

DEAR SIRS:

THIS BOOK IS THE BEST CHOICE THAT I COULD DO.

I CHEECK ALL THE CONTENTS AND IT HAS ALL THE INFORMATION THAT I NEED, I'M A CHEMICAL ENGINEERING AND FOR MY IS TOO USEFUL.

THANKS

A great book either as textbook or as handbook.......2005-05-28

Chemical Process Design and Integration covers all different aspects of conceptual chemical process design, using clear examples and thorough explanation. I enjoyed this book very much.

What's Your Philosophy.......2005-05-12

What you think of what makes this book unique is what you think of the mid eightys publications of bodo linhoff on pinch technology. If nothing else the text doesn't cover fluid flow very well.

Good introduction, slightly ouf of date.......2000-04-14

The book is very useful introduction into the field of pinch analysis by one of leading researchers in the field and covers everything that currently is standard practice in industry. It is not up to date with newer developments like the application of pinch technolgy to waste water management or to mass exchange networks and to the automatic generation of heat exchanger networks via mathematical programming.

good contents, poor printed to the figures.......1999-03-03

To publisher: I didn't understand well how do you make the figures including the words in your book. Some words and characters in some figures cannot see clearly, as page 62 figure 2.10.

Book Description

Paperback. The existence of interactions between the design of a process and that of its control system have been known to industrial practitioners for a long time. In the past decade academic research has produced methodologies and tools that begin to address the issue of designing processes that are flexible, can be controlled reliably, and are inherently safe. This publication unites the work of academics and practitioners with interests in the integration of process design and control, in order to examine the state of the art in methodologies and applications. The scope covers the design of chemical plants at different stages of detail. It also examines control issues from the plantwide level, where, for example, recycles between units can be important, to the specific unit level, where the availability or selection of measurements might be the most important factor.

Book Description

Traditionally, process design and control system design are performed sequentially. It is only recently displayed that a simultaneous approach to the design and control leads to significant economic benefits and improved dynamic performance during plant operation.

Extensive research in issues such as 'interactions of design and control', 'analysis and design of plant wide control systems', 'integrated methods for design and control' has resulted in impressive advances and significant new technologies that have enriched the variety of instruments available for the design engineer in her endeavour to design and operate new processes. The field of integrated process design and control has reached a maturity level that mingles the best from process knowledge and understanding and control theory on one side, with the best from numerical analysis and optimisation on the other. Direct implementation of integrated methods should soon become the mainstream design procedure.

Within this context 'The Integration of Process Design and Control', bringing together the developments in a variety of topics related to the integrated design and control, will be a real asset for design engineers, practitioners and researchers. Although the individual chapters reach a depth of analysis close to the frontier of current research status, the structure of the book and the autonomous nature of the chapters make the book suitable for a newcomer in the area.

The book comprises four distinct parts:
Part A: Process characterization and controllability analysis
Part B: Integrated process design and control &dashv; Methods
Part C: Plant wide interactions of design and control
Part D: Integrated process design and control &dashv; Extensions

By the end of the book, the reader will have developed a commanding comprehension of the main aspects of integrated design and control, the ability to critically assess the key characteristics and elements related to the interactions between design and control and the capacity to implement the new technology in practice.

* This book brings together the latest developments in a variety of topics related to integrated design and control.

* It is a valuable asset for design engineers, practitioners and researchers.

* The structure of the book and the nature of its chapters also make it suitable for a newcomer to the field.

Comprehensive Planning and Scheduling Technologies.......2001-08-01

I was mainly interested in refinery planning and scheduling technologies. I found the book to be a useful and comprehensive discussion of the various technologies in the planning and scheduling areas. In the latter chapters, the book discusses how the various functions may be intergrated.

I found the information about the EPLP (Extreme Point) LP modeling to be very useful. Although this is not widely used today, there are a number of useful applications for this technology for global refinery modeling and planninng.

Confusing compound of disparate texts.......1999-08-31

If the process industry really is consulted by stuff like this, then it is a wonder that process automation serves to enhance productivity. This confusing conglomerate of disparate accounts is likely to be understood only by the authors themselves.

Book Description

With growing global competition, the process industries must spare no effort in insuring continuous process improvement in terms of

• Increasing profitability;

• Conservation of resources and

• Prevention of pollution

The question is how can engineers achieve these goals for a given process with numerous units and streams? Until recently conventional approaches to process design and operation put emphasis only on individual units and parts of the process. A more powerful integrated approach was lacking. The new field of Process Integration looks towards the processing plant as a whole in its attempt to find solutions and improvements. Research over the past two decades has resulted in many techniques that allow engineers to better understand complex facilities and significantly enhance their performance. This textbook presents a comprehensive and authoritative treatment of the concepts, tools and applications of Process Integration. Emphasis is given to systematic ways of analyzing process performance. Graphical, algebraic and mathematical procedures are presented in detail. In addition to covering the fundamentals of the subject, the book also includes numerous case studies and examples that illustrate how Process Integration is solving actual industrial problems.

Systematic methodology for analyzing the process as an integrated system, identifying global insights of the process, and generating optimum strategies and solutions
Proper mix of fundamental principles, insightful tools, and industrial applications
Generic techniques that are applicable to a wide variety of processing facilities
Packed with case studies, practical tools, charts, tables, and performance criteria.

Book Description

Penicillins and cephalosporins have a long history in combating bacterial infections. Despite new infectious diseases and occurring resistance, beta-lactam antibiotics will for many years to come continue to play a prominent role in our therapeutic arsenal. This book covers the industrial development of the chemical and biochemical processes used to manufacture these products, as well as looking ahead to possible future processes. The interplay between synthetic organic chemistry with the understanding and application of enzymes, modeling of fermentation processes and integration through (bio-) chemical process engineering is illustrated. In-depth scientific approaches to biocatalysis and biocatalyst development including enzyme kinetics, enzyme crystal studies and semi-rational enzyme mutations are also presented. Metabolic pathway analysis and modeling of fermentation process are treated as well as molecular precision in synthetic approaches to beta-lactams, their precursors and derivatives. Process technology studies including new reactor concepts, possible short-cut routes and improved down-stream-processing methods complete a broad view on the scope and limitations of the presently developed industrial processes including an intriguing insight into future process possibilities. This book represents an excellent case study on the transformation of traditional, stoïchiometric, organic synthesis and classical fermentations into modern (bio-) catalysis and biosynthesis based on insights in metabolic pathways and enzyme actions.
