Applied Guide to Process and Plant Design

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
