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.
Audience
Process engineers and consultants, senior-level undergraduate students and first-year graduate students, and researchers in the area of process systems engineering
