The text examines both large-scale and small-scale chemical and biotechnology industries and brings to life the concepts that form the basis of the process industry. Starting with a general look at the industry, subsequent chapters examine different processes in greater detail. Emphasis is placed on chemical reactions and the reactor, both at the heart of each process, but coverage also includes feed pre-treatment and product separation.
