Comprehensive and practical guide to the selection and design of a wide range of chemical process equipment. Emphasis is placed on real-world process design and performance of equipment. Provides examples of successful applications, with numerous drawings, graphs, and tables to show the functioning and performance of the equipment. Equipment rating forms and manufacturers'' questionnaires are collected to illustrate the data essential to process design. Includes a chapter on equipment cost and addresses economic concerns.- Practical guide to the selection and design of a wide range of chemical process equipment. Examples of successful, real-world applications are provided- Fully revised and updated with valuable shortcut methods, rules of thumb, and equipment rating forms and manufacturers'' questionnaires have been collected to demonstrate the design process. Many line drawings, graphs, and tables illustrate performance data- Chapter 19 has been expanded to cover new information on membrane separation. Approximately 100 worked examples are included. End of chapter references also are provided

A facility is only as efficient and profitable as the equipment that is in it: this highly influential book is a powerful resource for chemical, process, or plant engineers who need to select, design or configures plant sucessfully and profitably. It includes updated information on design methods for all standard equipment, with an emphasis on real-world process design and performance.- The comprehensive and influential guide to the selection and design of a wide range of chemical process equipment, used by engineers globally; Copious examples of successful applications, with supporting schematics and data to illustrate the functioning and performance of equipment- Revised edition, new material includes updated equipment cost data, liquid-solid and solid systems, and the latest information on membrane separation technology- Provides equipment rating forms and manufacturers'' data, worked examples, valuable shortcut methods, rules of thumb, and equipment rating forms to demonstrate and support the design process- Heavily illustrated with many line drawings and schematics to aid understanding, graphs and tables to illustrate performance data

Chemical Process Equipment is a results-oriented reference for engineers who specify, design, maintain or run chemical and process plants. This book delivers information on the selection, sizing and operation of process equipment in a format that enables quick and accurate decision making on standard process and equipment choices, saving time, improving productivity, and building understanding. Coverage emphasizes common real-world equipment design rather than experimental or esoteric and focuses on maximizing performance. Legacy reference for chemical and related engineers who work with vendors to design, specify and make final equipment selection decisions Copious examples of successful applications, with supporting schematics and data to illustrate the functioning and performance of equipment Provides equipment rating forms and manufacturers' data, worked examples, valuable shortcut methods, and rules of thumb to demonstrate and support the design process Heavily illustrated with line drawings and schematics to aid understanding, as well as graphs and tables to illustrate performance data
