This book provides guidelines to ensure a safe and smooth running chemical production plant. It presents in detail such important considerations as selection of proper technology with efficient machinery (for a new plant) or expansion / diversification of existing plants for manufacture of more products for safe and pollution-free operation.This book also provides guidelines for improved plant layout, and selection of raw materials to reduce pre-processing costs prior to feeding to process units. The book further examines procuring better inputs (such as catalysts, filter cloths, tower internals etc) required for smooth plant operation and better product quality for client satisfaction, enhanced process control through suitable instrumentation, and preventive maintenance.Typical conflicts arising in production units due to different priorities among sales departments, purchasing departments, production engineers, and maintenance engineers are addressed. The book also suggests methods to reduce the loss of energy during start up and shutdowns, increase equipment life, and prevent environmental pollution.Case studies are included in appropriate chapters.

This book provides practical guidelines to chemical engineers, plant managers, maintenance engineers, and senior managements in modern chemical processing facilities. It provides guidelines to the readers for operational competencies such as hazard identification (HAZID), hazard operability studies (HAZOP), avoiding mistakes in plant facilities to ensure safety, compliance with various statutory rules and regulations; and management of human resources through improved working conditions, provision of safety equipment etc. It further presents technical information on pressure vessels, design of piping and selection of pumping systems, materials for construction and lining of process units operating at high temperature and corrosive conditions, and criteria for selection of different methods for heating of process units. In addition to its application to existing operations, the book includes information on expansion, diversification, and modernization of facilities and guidelines for revival of old and idle plants. Finally, the authors discuss various safety issues, controlling cost of production, and sustainability topics such as planning and implementing co-generation of steam and power, environmental pollution control for chemical plants and safe disposal of hazardous wastes.

Effective water and energy use in food processing is essential, not least for legislative compliance and cost reduction. This major volume reviews techniques for improvements in the efficiency of water and energy use as well as wastewater treatment in the food industry.Opening chapters provide an overview of key drivers for better management. Part two is concerned with assessing water and energy consumption and designing strategies for their reduction. These include auditing energy and water use, and modelling and optimisation tools for water minimisation. Part three reviews good housekeeping procedures, measurement and process control, and monitoring and intelligent support systems. Part four discusses methods to minimise energy consumption. Chapters focus on improvements in specific processes such as refrigeration, drying and heat recovery. Part five discusses water reuse and wastewater treatment in the food industry. Chapters cover water recycling, disinfection techniques, aerobic and anaerobic systems for treatment of wastewater. The final section concentrates on particular industry sectors including fresh meat and poultry, cereals, sugar, soft drinks, brewing and winemaking.With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, Handbook of water and energy management in food processing is a standard reference for the food industry. - Provides an overview of key drivers for better management - Reviews techniques for improvements in efficiency of water and energy use and waste water treatment - Examines house keeping proceedures and measurement and process control
