Book Description:

This third edition of Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants, Volume 3, is completely revised and updated throughout to make this standard reference more valuable than ever. It has been expanded by more than 200 pages to include the latest technological and process developments in heat transfer, refrigeration, compression and compression surge drums, and mechanical drivers. Like other volumes in this classic series, this one emphasizes how to apply techniques of process design and how to interpret results into mechanical equipment details. It focuses on the applied aspects of chemical engineering design to aid the design and/or project engineers in rating process requirements, specifying for purchasing purposes, and interpreting and selecting the mechanical equipment needed to satisfy the process functions. Process chemical engineering and mechanical hydraulics are included in the design procedures. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Synopsis:

Completely revised and updated throughout, this edition of volume 1 is a guide for process engineers and designers, covering a complete range of basic day-to-day operation topics such as: the latest ASME Code requirements; design assembly of piping systems; selection of mechanical equipment; manpower requirements; pump types, ratings and selections; separation of liquid and solid particles from vapor; and methods for liquid and gas flow and pumping of liquids. This expanded edition introduces new design methods, with examples, design charts, tables and performance diagrams to add to the practical understanding of how selected equipment can be expected to perform in the process situation. A major addition is the comprehensive chapter on process safety and pressure relief devices that incorporates industrial safety design considerations, ranging from new devices and components to updated venting requirements for low-pressure storage tanks to the latest NFPA methods for sizing rupture disks and bursting panels and more.
