Description
This third edition of Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants, Volume 3, is completely revised and updated throughout
to make this standard reference more valuable than ever. It has been expanded by more than 200 pages to include the latest technological
and process developments in heat transfer, refrigeration, compression and compression surge drums, and mechanical drivers. Like other
volumes in this classic series, this one emphasizes how to apply techniques of process design and how to interpret results into mechanical
equipment details. It focuses on the applied aspects of chemical engineering design to aid the design and/or project engineers in rating
process requirements, specifying for purchasing purposes, and interpreting and selecting the mechanical equipment needed to satisfy the
process functions. Process chemical engineering and mechanical hydraulics are included in the design procedures.
Audience:
chemical engineers, petroleum engineers
