DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis practical how-to-do book deals with the design of sustainable chemical processes by means of systematic methods aided by computer simulation. Ample case studies illustrate generic creative issues, as well as the efficient use of simulation techniques, with each one standing for an important issue taken from practice. The didactic approach guides readers from basic knowledge to mastering complex flow-sheets, starting with chemistry and thermodynamics, via process synthesis, efficient use of energy and waste minimization, right up to plant-wide control and process dynamics. The simulation results are compared with flow-sheets and performance indices of actual industrial licensed processes, while the complete input data for all the case studies is also provided, allowing readers to reproduce the results with their own simulators. For everyone interested in the design of innovative chemical processes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIllustrating all aspects of chemical process design, this book demonstrates process synthesis, material and heat balancing by manual and computerised methods, the use of flowsheeting programs and their construction, flowsheet development, plant safety, process economics and project engineering. The reader is introduced to each of the key areas and is given further information to follow these up. The process is developed as a whole entity with appropriate partitioning of certain tasks. In recent years, there has been increased activity in process synthesis, particularly in the development of heat exchanger networks and distillation trains. Various chapters describe and develop these and other areas of interest. In particular, note is made of the need to select appropriate unit operations for given process tasks. Traditional manual methods of material and heat balancing introduce the computerised methods used in flowsheeting programs. Plant safety continues to generate professional and public interest as catastrophes continue to occur. The recent developments in this area are described.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The new 4th edition of Seider’s 'Product and Process Design Principles : Synthesis, Analysis and Design' covers content for process design courses in the chemical engineering curriculum, showing how process design and product design are inter-linked and why studying the two is important for modern applications. A principal objective of this new edition is to describe modern strategies for the design of chemical products and processes, with an emphasis on a systematic approach. This fourth edition presents two parallel tracks : (1) product design ("what to make"), and (2) process design ("how to make"), with an emphasis on process design. Process design instructors can show easily how product designs lead to new chemical processes. Alternatively, product design can be taught in a separate course subsequent to the process design course."--adapted from description on publisher web site.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKChemical process design is still an active area of research since it largely determines the optimal and safe operation of a new process under various conditions. The design process involves a series of steps that aims to identify the most economically attractive design typically using steady-state optimization. However, optimal steady-state designs may fail to comply with the process constraints when the system under analysis is subject to uncertainties in the inputs (e.g. the composition of a reactant in a feedstream) or in the system's parameters (e.g. the activation energy in a chemical reaction). This has motivated the development of systematic methods that explicitly account for uncertainty in optimal process design. In this work, a new efficient approach for the optimal design under uncertainty is presented. The key idea is to approximate the process constraint functions and outputs using Power Series Expansions (PSE)-based functions. A ranking-based approach is adopted where the user can assign priorities or probabilities of satisfaction for the different process constraints and process outputs considered in the analysis. The methodology was tested on a reactor-heat exchanger system, the Tennessee Eastman plant, which is an industrial benchmark process, and a post-combustion CO2 capture plant, which is a large-scale chemical plant that has recently gained attention and significance due to its potential to mitigate CO2 emissions from fossil-fired power plants. The results show that the present method is computationally attractive since the optimal process design is accomplished in shorter computational times when compared to the stochastic programming approach, which is the standard method used to address this type of problems. Furthermore, it has been shown that process dynamics play an important role while searching for the optimal process design of a system under uncertainty. Therefore, a stochastic-based simultaneous design and control methodology for the optimal design of chemical processes under uncertainty that incorporates an advanced model-based scheme such as Model Predictive Control (MPC) is also presented in this work. The key idea is to determine the time-dependent variability of the system that will be accounted for in the process design using a stochastic-based worst-case variability index. A case study of an actual wastewater treatment industrial plant has been used to test the proposed methodology. The MPC-based simultaneous design and control approach provided more economical designs when compared to a decentralized multi-loop PI control strategy, thus showing that this method is a practical approach to address the integration of design and control while using advanced model-based control strategies.

It answers many questions students and young engineers often ask which include: How is what I studied in the classroom being applied in the industrial setting? What steps do I need to take to become a professional chemical engineer? What are the career diversities in chemical engineering and the engineering knowledge required? How is chemical engineering design done in real-world? What are the chemical engineering computer tools and their applications? What are the prospects, present and future challenges of chemical engineering? And so on. It also provides the information new chemical engineering hires would need to excel and cross the critical novice engineer stage of their career.
