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 2 covers distillation, packed towers, petroleum fractionation, gas processing and dehydration, and liquid-liquid extraction. It focuses on distillation and packed towers and presents the methods and fundamentals of plant design along with supplemental mechanical and related data, nomographs, data charts and heuristics. The revision covers new content on divided wall column, and liquid-liquid extraction / design that ensure readers can analyze problems and find practical design methods and solutions to accomplish their process design objectives.

High Integrity Systems and Safety Management in Hazardous Industries serves as an overview of best practices as applied to high integrity systems, including their design, maintenance, and regulation, and detailed guidance to safety management processes as applied to hazardous industries. Large hazardous plants are complex multidisciplinary systems that require a cross-disciplinary viewpoint for all safety-related personnel. This cross-disciplinary perspective can create a gap in understanding which this book aims to address. Furthermore, industries tend to exist in silos, where experiences in one industry may not be understood or communicated to others.Across three parts, this book introduces current key themes for all engineering managers of high-hazard plants, including aging plant, cyber security, crisis management, corporate social responsibility, and the significance of local culture to operational safety. This book uses real-world examples and a multidisciplinary approach to safety case management to bridge the disciplinary gap and help our reader understand the latest advice and technology underpinning high integrity systems and safety management.This book will be an invaluable guide for industry professionals, researchers, and students at graduate level or above working or researching in hazardous industries. This book will also be of interest to anyone working with high integrity systems in their research. The second edition has been revised to include some up-to-date case studies. It also includes discussion of recent technological advances and their potential impact in hazardous industries.
