Applied Guide to Process and Plant Design

An Applied Guide to Process and Plant Design explains how professional engineers carry out process design in industry. It covers plant layout, the use of spreadsheet programmes and key drawings as aids to design; subjects which are usually learned on the job rather than in education. The design tools discussed within the book will help you to produce tighter plant designs, saving you time. Computer tools discussed include Hysys and AutoCAD; tools to assist the creative process include "What If Analysis" features, statistical plugins and visual basic for more complex problems. Prof. Moran has pulled together over 20 years' experience in process design to create a foundational book that is ideal for those who are new to process design. It is fully supported with worked examples and case studies in order to assist learning. The integration of process design with process safety is also covered. This book is compliant with both professional practice and the IChemE degree accreditation guidelines. The information contained in this book is usually provided on the job by mentors; no other book is available with the same coverage. . How to use computer tools and simulation techniques to deliver a process design that meets both the business and safety case . Just the theoretical fundamentals and their implementation in practice through this book's integrated approach .
