Safety and Security Review for the Process Industries

Safety and Security Review for the Process Industries, Second Edition: Application of HAZOP, PHA and What-If Reviews
By Dennis P. Nolan

Description:

This book describes the application of major safety reviews used in the process industries (principally petroleum, petrochemical, chemical industries, nuclear installations, utility systems, and medical facilities). It provides guidance on qualitative hazard analyses, specifically for PHA (Preliminary Hazard Analysis), What-If, and HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) for review teams. OSHA and EPA as well as national governments all over the world, require industry to conduct these reviews to help prevent major catastrophic fire, explosions and oil spillages.

In 2007, the Department of Homeland Security in the United States issued new standards with regard to the security of chemical facilities. This new edition documents how the methodology and procedures used for the hazard reviews can be adopted and applied for Security Vulnerability Analysis (SVA).

Membrane Operations: Innovative Separations and Transformations

Membrane Operations: Innovative Separations and Transformations
By Enrico Drioli, Lidietta Giorno
Pass:tFmemop.rar

Description:

The only book dedicated to membrane technology, covering all the different innovative membrane areas from separation to contactors, and regarding them as unit operations in process engineering.
The specific potential of these advanced new operations is analyzed by different experts in the field, with regard to their basic aspects and in particular to their potential application for a sustainable growth and improvement in the quality of life. To this end, much emphasis is placed on the role of membrane engineering as a dominant technology in such areas as water desalination or artificial organs.
The editors are well known and recognized within the community, while the active experience of the authors provides a highly practical, industrially relevant approach to the subject. Topics considered in detail include membranes in fuel cells, membranes in MEMS and OLEDS, as well as integrated membrane systems.

Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids

Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids, Second Edition (Chemical Industries Series)
By: R.P. Chhabra

Description:

A full understanding of Non-Newtonian materials and non-linear flow characteristics is essential for scientists and engineers dealing with them on daily basis. Presenting information that is current, easy to use and of direct relevance in scores of chemical, food and processing industries, this book reconciles the voluminous literature dealing with the behavior of bubbles, drops and particles in such fluids, and it applies and interrelates highly theoretical and mathematically complex work with the practical needs of the practicing engineers. No other book offers such a rich selection of topics related to this field.

Distillation Design and Control Using Aspen Simulation

Distillation Design and Control Using Aspen Simulation
by: William L. Luyben

Distillation is one of the most important separation methods in the chemical and petroleum industries. Distillation Design and Control Using Aspen Simulation uses the commercial simulator Aspen Plus to develop rigorous simulations of single distillation columns and sequences of columns. It serves as an important reference for both novice and experienced engineers faced with distillation problems.

Process Dynamics and Control

Process Dynamics and Control
By Dale E. Seborg, Thomas F. Edgar, Duncan A. Mellichamp

Description:

Design Control Systems Using Modern Technologies and Techniques

Process control has increased in importance in the process industries, driven by global competition, rapidly changing economic conditions, more stringent environmental and safety regulations, and the need for more flexible yet more complex processes to manufacture high value-added products.

This long-awaited second edition of Dale Seborg, Thomas Edgar, and Duncan Mellichamp's Process Dynamic and Control reflects recent changes and advances in process control theory and technology. The authors have added new topics, and enhanced the presentation with a large number of new exercises and examples, many of which utilize MATLAB and Simulink.

New and expanded topics includes:

* Mathematical modeling of chemical processes
* Developing dynamic models from process data
* Control system design
* Process safety and process control
* Enhanced single-loop control
* Digital control
* Multiloop and multivariable control
* Real-time optimization
* Model predictive control
* Process monitoring
* Batch process control
* Plantwide control
* Applications to semiconductor manufacturing and bioprocessing
* Control hardware and software
