A hot topic across the chemical and process industries, this is the first book to provide a practical working guide to understanding and developing successful PI solutions that deliver savings and efficiencies. It will appeal to engineers working with leading-edge process technologies and those involved research and development of chemical, process, environmental, pharmaceutical, and bioscience systems.
* Shows chemical and process engineers how to apply process intensification to their system, process or operation* A hard-working reference and user guide to the technology AND application of PI, covering fundamentals, industry applications, supplemented by a development and implementation guide* Leading author team, including Professor Colin Ramshaw, developer of the HiGee high-gravity distillation process at ICI, widely credited as the instigator of PI principles
Practising chemical and process engineers (industries including chemical, oil & gas, food, biochemical, environmental); plant and design engineers; industry R&D, process development organizations; research laboratory staff. Graduate level engineering students.
