Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants, Volume 3

Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants, Volume 3, 3rd Edition (Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants)
by: Ernest E. Ludwig

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.

Includes updated information that allows for efficiency and accuracy in daily tasks and operations
Part of a classic series in the industry

Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants, Volume 2, 3rd Edition (Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants)
by: Ernest E. Ludwig

Book Description:

This latest edition covers the technical performance and mechanical details of converting the chemical and petrochemical process into appropriate hardware for distillation and packed towers. It incorporates recent advances and major innovations in distillation contacting devices and features new generations of packing. In addition, this new edition reflects the significant progress that has been made in process design techniques in recent years.


Volume 2's example calculation techniques guide in the preparation of preliminary and final rating designs. In some instances, the book includes manufacturers' procedures and notes clearly indicate when manufacturers should verify results.

Covers distillation and packed towers, and contains material on azeotropes and ideal and non-ideal systems
Includes important findings from recent literature to illustrate alternate design methods
New illustrations and rating charts
