Description
Contents
Full coverage of the expander machines used to extract power from waste fluid gas in the chemical process and refining industries
Expanders for Chemical Process describes the engineering analyses required to design and build expanders for particular applications. In an ever-increasing push toward energy conservation, sustainability, green manufacturing, and green chemistry, chemical plants are recovering waste fluid gas energy using expanders. This book explains how to harvest this energy to power other machines. In each case, there are unique conditions that require specialized design and applications. This timely guide offers complete details on expanders.
Written by recognized world experts and engineers with experience in the design, application, operation, and troubleshooting of expanders
Evaluates existing designs for various applications and considers design modifications and enhancements
Covers materials of construction, flowpath configuration, rotor and blade designs, pressure casings, and auxiliaries such as bearings, seals, and cooling
Describes the operating facilities in which expanders are applied
