An in-depth look at the general principles of design—complete with a rich series of case studies

Presenting general design principles in a concise format, Principles and Case Studies of Simultaneous Design guides readers in building an effective flowsheet and control structure when developing a chemical process. Aided by detailed economic design examples of typically complex industrial processes, this book encompasses all the methods and techniques essential to chemical process design in the creation of new facilities or the modifications of existing ones. In addition, it shows ways in which these methods can be applied to reactive distillation, reactor design, plant design, and various other chemical engineering processes. Principles and Case Studies of Simultaneous Design:

• Is presented in a well-illustrated, large-size format with detailed schematics
• Discusses conventional proportional—integral—derivative (PID) control structures to emphasize importance of maintaining product quality during disturbances
• Includes ten detailed case studies that illustrate the principles of process design
• Supplies case studies that contain rigorous steady-state economic evaluations and dynamic plant-wide control studies
• Provides completed detailed flowsheets with Aspen Plus files included, along with examples of dynamic simulations using Aspen Dynamics

Principles and Case Studies of Simultaneous Design offers students and engineers in the chemical, petroleum, and biochemical industries the essential principles of design and control in a manner that cuts directly to the core of the most important technical information. Written in style that is approachable and easy to comprehend, this invaluable reference is sure to become a treasured reference for any seasoned or aspiring engineer.
