9781394203840: Practical Process Design for Chemical Engineers

Synopsis

"In a chemical process, the transformation of raw materials into desired chemical products usually cannot be achieved in a single step. Instead, the overall transformation is broken down into a number of steps that provide intermediate transformations, for example by chemical reaction, separation, heating, cooling etc. Once the individual steps have been selected, they must be interconnected to carry out the overall transformation. Chemical process design requires the selection of a series of processing steps and their integration to form a complete manufacturing system, all while considering feasibility, cost, safety, environmental and societal impact, operability, maintainability, reliability, and constructability. It is an essential element of sustainable industrial activity"-- Provided by publisher.

À propos de l?auteur

Keith Marchildon P. Eng, PhD, was an engineer who made important and lasting contributions to Chemical Engineering in Canada. He pioneered the development of a number of chemical engineering refresher courses that have been offered outside of DuPont, locally and nationally, and was the author of several design handbook chapters published by Wiley. Keith served on the CCPE task force that defined the essential elements of the core knowledge of the Chemical Engineering Discipline that is used in assessing credentials of foreign-trained engineers.

David Mody, P. Eng. brings a broad experience to the book through his industrial and academic experience. He worked as a design engineer with Fluor Corporation for 17 years in the Fluor/ DuPont corporate alliance group, followed by 13 years as the final year design instructor of Chemical Engineering at Queen's University at Kingston.
