Résumé

Optimize Process Performance With This Unique Resource

This job-critical guide is an invaluable resource for anyone in the chemical process industry. Inside in this book you'll find practical, worked-out calculations for reactor loops material balance calculations, catalysis in chemical reactors, estimation of important steam utility variables, as well as chemical economic calculations for efficient chemical plant operations-problems which are common to the process industry but hard to find in most texts. Packed with step-by-step procedures and examples, this manual features important tables for quick information retrieval, plus:

Detailed examples of problem-solving calculations for day-to-day operations
Comprehensive coverage of formulas, mathematical methods, and computations used regularly in the process industries
Quick estimation methods for gas densities at different pressures and temperatures
Methods for deduction of specific heat of liquids and dead weight of materials from heat exchanger calculations
Technologies for acid-gas removal processes
Solutions for vapor analysis in fractional distillation
And much more
