This book deals with the design and integration of chemical processes, emphasizing on conceptual issues that are fundamental to the creation of the process. Chemical process design requires the selection of a series of processing steps and their integration to form a complete manufacturing system and the text emphasizes on both. Also, the process normally operates as part of an integrated manufacturing site consisting of a number of processes serviced by a common utility system. The design of utility systems has been dealt with in the text so that the interactions between processes and the utility system and interactions between different processes through the utility system can be exploited to maximize the performance of the site as a whole. · the nature of chemical process design and integration · process economics · optimization · thermodynamic properties and phase equilibrium · choice of reactor i - reactor performance · choice of reactor ii - reactor conditions · choice of reactor iii - reactor configuration · choice of separator for heterogeneous mixtures · choice of separator for homogeneous fluid mixtures i - distillation · choice of separator for homogeneous fluid mixtures ii - other methods · distillation sequencing · distillation sequencing for azeotropic distillation · reaction, separation and recycle systems for continuous processes · reaction, separation and recycle systems for batch processes · heat exchanger networks i - heat transfer equipment · heat exchanger networks ii - energy targets · heat exchanger networks iii - capital and total cost targets · heat exchanger networks iv - network design · heat exchanger networks v - stream data. - from Amzon
