Ludwigs Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants Incorporating Process Safety Incidents: Volume 1

Ludwig's Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants Incorporating Process Safety Incidents, Fifth Edition, Volume One is ever evolving and provides improved techniques and fundamental design methodologies to guide the practicing engineer in designing process equipment and applying chemical processes to properly detailed hardware. Like its predecessor, this new edition continues to present updated information for achieving optimum operational and process conditions and avoiding problems caused by inadequate sizing and lack of internally detailed hardware. The volume provides 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 1 covers process planning, flow-sheeting, scheduling, cost estimation, economic factors, physical properties of liquids and gases, fluid flow, mixing of liquids, mechanical separations, process safety, pressure-relieving devices, metallurgy and corrosion, and process optimization. The book builds upon Ludwig's classic text to further enhance its use as a chemical engineering process design manual of methods and proven fundamentals. This new edition includes new content on three-phase separation, ejectors and mechanical vacuum systems, process safety management, HAZOP and hazard analyses, and optimization of chemical process/blending. Offers an improved design manual for the methods and proven fundamentals of process design with related data and charts Covers the complete range of basic day-to-day petrochemical operation topics Extensively revised with new material added on three-phase separation, metallurgy and corrosion, process safety management/HAZOP and hazard analyses, and optimization of chemical process/blending Supplemented with a website that hosts simulation design software (UniSim Design) and Excel spreadsheet-developed computer programs Includes case studies, guidance for troubleshooting and checklists INDICE: 1.
