Inhaltsangabe

Process Plant Design for Chemical Engineers: Guide to Practical Aspects of Engineering Decision Making offers a comprehensive and accessible resource for chemical engineers seeking to make informed decisions throughout the design process of a plant. The book emphasizes evidence-based decision making, aiming to help professionals avoid costly mistakes, injuries, and risks associated with poor choices. Drawing on real-world examples across various industries, it demonstrates how the use of available information can significantly impact outcomes. This guide is essential for both students and practicing engineers, providing practical strategies to ensure safety, efficiency, and successful results in process plant design.

Beyond its focus on decision making, the book delivers in-depth analysis of real applications, showing both good and bad examples and the consequences of each. It discusses the importance of risk management and illustrates lessons learned to help engineers recognize and address potential hazards. The guidance provided is especially valuable for those scaling up processes from laboratory research to commercial production. Additionally, the book is useful for professionals across diverse sectors―including minerals processing, food and wine, and energy engineering.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Process Plant Design for Chemical Engineers: Guide to Practical Aspects of Engineering Decision Making serves as a practical guide for making appropriate, evidence-based decisions in all elements of process design. Process design engineers need to make a very large number of choices during the design of a process plant. These decisions are crucial, yet there are many examples of very poor choices in real-world applications that have resulted in large financial losses, serious injury or even death. The objective of the book is to assist effective evidence-based decision making and minimize risk. This book provides descriptions and analysis of many examples of real applications from different industries as examples of good and bad decisions, particularly how the available information was used. The lessons learned from each example are considered and described to help engineers understand the risks associated with process design decisions and how to manage them effectively. The book serves as a valuable resource for both chemical engineering students and engineers in industry as it provides guidance on making evidence-based decisions to ensure successful outcomes. It will also be incredibly helpful to engineers faced with the task of scaling up a new process based on lab-scale research, especially those tasked with plant design and designing commercial scale processes. This book can also be a useful guide for students and engineers in a range of process industries such as chemical processing, minerals processing, food and wine, , energy engineering, and similar related engineering fields.
