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. * The comprehensive and influential guide to the selection and design of a wide range of chemical process equipment, used by engineers globally . Copious examples of successful applications, with supporting schematics and data to illustrate the functioning and performance of equipment * Revised edition, new material includes updated equipment cost data, liquid-solid and solid systems, and the latest information on membrane separation technology* Provides equipment rating forms and manufacturers' data, worked examples, valuable shortcut methods, rules of thumb, and equipment rating forms to demonstrate and support the design process* Heavily illustrated with many line drawings and schematics to aid understanding, graphs and tables to illustrate performance data
