About this Item

Neuware - An Applied Guide to Process and Plant Design explains how professional engineers carry out process design in industry. The book covers plant layout and the use of spreadsheet programmes and key drawings as aids to design, subjects which are usually learned on the job rather than in education. Users will learn how to produce tighter plant designs, along with computer tools, including Hysys and AutoCAD that assist in the creative process,'What If Analysis' features, statistical plugins, and visual basic for more complex problems. Professor Moran has pulled together over 20 years of experience in process design to create a foundational book that is ideal for those who are new to process design. It is fully supported with worked examples and case studies in order to assist learning, and is fully compliant with both professional practice and the IChemE degree accreditation guidelines.\* Discusses how to use computer tools and simulation techniques to deliver a process design that meets both the business and safety case\* Covers plant layout and the use of spreadsheet programmes and key drawings as aids to design, subjects which are usually learned on the job rather than in education\* Teachers users how to communicate what their proposed process design project is expected to deliver to managers\* Includes discussions on Hysys and AutoCAD and how they can assist in the creative process.

About this title

Synopsis

An Applied Guide to Process and Plant Design is a guide to process plant design for both students and professional engineers.

The book covers plant layout and the use of spreadsheet programmes and key drawings produced by professional engineers as aids to design; subjects which 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.

• Explains how to deliver a process design that meets both business and safety criteria
• Covers plant layout and the use of spreadsheet programmes and key drawings as aids to design
• Includes a comprehensive set of selection tables, covering those aspects of professional plant design which early-career designers find most challenging

About the Author

Eur Ing Dr Seán Moran CEng is a practising chemical engineer with over thirty years of experience in process design, commissioning, and troubleshooting. He started his career with international process engineering contractors before setting up his own consultancy in 1996, specializing in process and hydraulic design for water, sewage and industrial effluent treatment plants. Sean spent several years in academia, where he held positions including a Royal Academy of Engineering Visiting Professorship, and is a strong advocate for the overhaul of traditional university chemical engineering curricula. He is the author of three textbooks and many articles on process plant design and layout, and has an international portfolio of design and forensic engineering projects.
