The most complete, up-to-date, problem-solving toolkit for chemical engineers and process designers.

Industrial Chemical Process Design, Second Edition provides a step-by-step methodology and 25 downloadable, customizable, needs-specific software applications that offer quick, accurate solutions to complex process design problems. These applications uniquely fill the gaps left by large, very expensive commercial process simulation software packages used to select, size, and design industrial chemical process equipment. Written by a hands-on industry consultant and featuring more than 200 illustrations, this book thoroughly details:

  • Sizing and cost estimating of process unit operation equipment
  • Design and rating of fractionation equipment and three-phase separation equipment
  • Chemical optimization
  • Commercial distillation
  • Packaged plant cost analysis
  • Estimating cost for modular packages
  • Performing operations such as liquid-liquid extraction and gas liquid separation vessel sizing and rating
  • Green engineering
