Conceptual Design of Chemical Processes

by James Douglas

Book Overview

Explaining the concepts behind process design, this book uses a case study approach, guiding readers through realistic design problems, and referring back to these cases at the end of each chapter. It also uses shortcut techniques that help engineers to obtain the whole focus for a design in a very short period (generally less than two days).

Conceptual Design Review

The book is quite interesting and based on real life examples on the sinthesys of chemical processes. An economic approach to the optimal design is presented subdivied in five distinct steps. The HDA process is analyzed in detail showing how to select the optimal economic layout of the plant.
