Description
Plant engineers are responsible for a wide range of industrial activities, and may work in any industry. This means that breadth of knowledge
required by such professionals is so wide that previous books addressing plant engineering have either been limited to only certain subjects
or cursory in their treatment of topics. The Plant Engineering Handbook offers comprehensive coverage of an enormous range of subjects
which are of vital interest to the plant engineer and anyone connected with industrial operations or maintenance.
This handbook is packed
with indispensable information, from defining just what a Plant Engineer actually does, through selection of a suitable site for a factory
and provision of basic facilities (including boilers, electrical systems, water, HVAC systems, pumping systems and floors and finishes)
to issues such as lubrication, corrosion, energy conservation, maintenance and materials handling as well as environmental considerations,
insurance matters and financial concerns. One of the major features of this volume is its comprehensive treatment of the maintenance
management function; in addition to chapters which outline the operation of the various plant equipment there is specialist advice on
how to get the most out of that equipment and its operators. This will enable the reader to reap the rewards of more efficient operations,
more effective employee contributions and in turn more profitable performance from the plant and the business to which it contributes.
The Editor, Keith Mobley and the team of expert contributors, have practiced at the highest levels in leading corporations across the
USA, Europe and the rest of the world. Produced in association with Plant Engineering magazine, this book will be a source of information
for plant engineers in any industry worldwide.
