Book Description:
Chemical process design involves the invention or synthesis of a process to transform raw materials into a desired product. Using a minimum of mathematics, this book offers chemical engineers a complete guide to selecting and connecting the steps for a well-designed process. Flowsheet synthesis, the choice of reactor and separator, distillation sequencing, and economic trade-offs are explored in detail. Special emphasis is placed on energy efficiency, waste minimization, and health and safety considerations, with worked examples and case studies presented to illustrate important points
