LUDWIG'S APPLIED PROCESS DESIGN FOR CHEMICAL AND PETROCHEMICAL PLANTS INCORPORATING PROCESS SAFETY INCIDENTS

Ludwig's Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants is ever evolving starting with the first edition some 60 years ago. The volumes in this fifth edition provide improved techniques and fundamental designs methodologies to guide the practicing engineer in designing process equipment and applying chemical processes to the properly detailed hardware. Like its predecessor, this new edition continues to present updated information for achieving optimum operational and process conditions and to avoid problems caused by inadequate sizing and lack of internally detailed hardware. The volumes provide both fundamental theories where applicable and direct application of these theories to applied equations essential in the design effort. This approach in presenting design information is essential for troubleshooting process equipment and in executing system performance analysis. Volume 3 covers heat transfer, process integration, refrigeration systems, compression equipment, mechanical drivers, industrial and laboratory reactors, biochemical reaction and design, sustainability and carbon capture sequestration in chemical process industry. It is a practical reference for chemical, plant, and process engineers and provides an unrivalled reference on methods, process fundamentals, and supporting design data. New to this edition is content on biochemical reactions and reactor design, sustainability in chemical process industry, and carbon capture sequestration.
