Synopsis

An Applied Guide to Process and Plant Design, 2nd edition, is a guide to process plant design for both students and professional engineers. The book covers plant layout and the use of spreadsheet programs and key drawings produced by professional engineers as aids to design; subjects that are usually learned on the job rather than in education. You will learn how to produce smarter plant design through the use of computer tools, including Excel and AutoCAD, “What If Analysis,” statistical tools, and Visual Basic for more complex problems. The book also includes a wealth of selection tables, covering the key aspects of professional plant design which engineering students and early-career engineers tend to find most challenging.

Professor Moran draws on over 20 years’ experience in process design to create an essential foundational book ideal for those who are new to process design, compliant with both professional practice and the IChemE degree accreditation guidelines.

• Includes new and expanded content, including illustrative case studies and practical examples
• Explains how to deliver a process design that meets both business and safety criteria
• Covers plant layout and the use of spreadsheet programs and key drawings as aids to design
• Includes a comprehensive set of selection tables, covering aspects of professional plant design which early-career designers find most challenging
