Chemical Process Safety: Learning from Case Histories

Chemical Process Safety: Learning from Case Histories, 3rd edition (October 20, 2004)
by: Roy E Sanders

Description:

In this easy-to-understand book, the author, drawing on his many years of practical experience, addresses the problems experienced with management of change in chemical plants. He cites examples of the consequences of the insufficient review of changes implemented to solve one problem, which then create another. Illustrated with many case histories this book highlights the incidents of unforeseen, undesirable consequences of unwise change within chemical and petrochemical plants and petroleum refineries.

Handbook of Chemical Technology and Pollution Control

Handbook of Chemical Technology and Pollution Control, 3rd Edition, Third Edition
by: Martin B. B. Hocking

Book Description:

The Handbook of Chemical Technology and Pollution Control (3rd Edition) provides a detailed review of the chemistry and operating conditions of many of the present large-scale chemical processes important to our economy and high standards of living. The processes that could lead to emissions affecting our air, soil, and water are considered, together with ways in which it may be possible to reduce or eliminate these pollutants. Focusing on cleaner production concepts without neglecting 'end of pipe' measures. With an increase in the awareness of corporate and social responsibility among business and industry leaders, the pressure to reduce harmful emissions and the desire to increase efficiencies and energy utilization, this book provides an essential resource. Suitable for researchers, practitioners and postgraduate students in the fields of chemical and biochemical engineering and environmental science, as well as government monitoring and regulatory agencies and industry leaders who want to stay one step ahead, this book will be a valuable addition to any library.

* Integrated treatment of chemical technology with emission control chemistry
* Introductory outline of the causes and effects of air and water pollution chemistry
* Outline of the operating features and efficiency of basic emission control devices
* Historical background of developments in industrial chemistry to 2004 in a single volume
* Organized for easy access to chemical technology, new developments, or emission control details
* Referenced to current additional sources of information in each area covered
* Review questions provide working experience with the material provided

Handbook of Storage Tank Systems: Codes: Regulations, and Designs
by:GEYER


A survey of manufacturing and installation methods, standards, and specifications of factory-made steel storage tanks and appurtenances for petroleum, chemicals, hydrocarbons, and other flammable or combustible liquids. It chronicles the trends towards aboveground storage tanks, secondary containment, and corrosion-resistant underground steel storage systems.

Process Engineering Economics (Chemical Industries)
by: James Couper

Description

This reference outlines the fundamental concepts and strategies for economic assessments for informed management decisions in industry. The book illustrates how to prepare capital cost and operating expense estimates, profitability analyses, and feasibility studies, and execute sensitivity and uncertainty assessments. From financial reports to opportunity costs and engineering trade-offs, Process Engineering Economics considers a wide range of alternatives for profitable investing and for projecting outcomes in various chemical and engineering fields and monitors costs, finances, and economic limitations at every stage of chemical project design, preparation, and evaluation.

Plant Design and Economics for Chemical Engineers (Mcgraw Hill Chemical Engineering Series)
By Max Stone Peters, Klaus D. Timmerhaus

Book Description:

A revision of the classic text-reference for the chemical engineering "design" course usually offered to all Chemical Engineers at the junior/senior level. This new edition contains the latest cost data as well as new emphasis on safety and H42OPS and a new chapter on Computer-Aided Design. The book nicely balances both economics (cost estimating and cost data) and process equipment design in one text.

General Contents:

Process Design Development General Design Considerations Computer-Aided Design Cost and Asset Accounting Cost Estimation Interest and Investment Costs Taxes and Insurance Depreciation Profitaility, Alternative Investments and Replacements Optimum Design and Design Strategy Materials Selection and Equipment Fabrication The Design Report Materials Transfer, Handling and Treatment Equipment-Design and Costs Heat-Transfer Equipment-Design and Costs Mass-Transfer and Reactor Equipment-Design and Costs Statistical Analysis in Design Appendixes - The International System of Units - Auxiliary, Utility and Chemical Cost Data - Design Problems - Tables of Physical Properties and Constants
