Synopsis

Process Plant machinery is a unique single-source reference for chemical engineers, managers, and technical personnel who need to acquire an understanding of the machinery used in modern process plants: prime movers and power transmission machiners;
pumping equipment; gas compression machinery; and mixing, conveying, and separation equipment. Starting with an overview of each class, the book quickly leads the reader through practical applications and size considerations into profusely illustrated
component descriptions. Where necessary, standard theory is expertly explained in shortcut formulas and graphs. Maintainability and vulnerability concerns are dealt with as well.
