A GUIDE TO THE DESIGN, OPERATION, CONTROL, TROUBLESHOOTING,
OPTIMIZATION AS WELL AS THE RECENT ADVANCES IN THE FIELD OF
PETROCHEMICAL PROCESSES
Efficient Petrochemical Processes: Technology, Design and Operation is
a guide to the tools and methods for energy optimization and process
design. Written by a panel of experts on the topic, the book highlights
the application of these methods on petrochemical technology such as the
aromatics process unit. The authors describe practical approaches and
tools that focus on improving industrial energy efficiency, reducing
capital investment, and optimizing yields through better design,
operation, and optimization.
The text is divided into sections that cover the range of essential
topics: petrochemical technology description; process design
considerations; reaction and separation design; process integration;
process system optimization; types of revamps; equipment assessment;
common operating issues; and troubleshooting case analysis. This
important book:
- Provides the basic knowledge related to fundamentals, design, and
operation for petrochemical processes
- Applies process integration techniques and optimization techniques
that improve process design and operations in the petrochemical
process
- Provides practical methods and tools for industrial practitioners
- Puts the focus on improving industrial energy efficiency, reducing
capital investment, and optimizing yields
- Contains information on the most recent advances in the field.
Written for managers, engineers, and operators working in process
industries as well as university students, Efficient Petrochemical
Processes: Technology, Design and Operation explains the most recent
advances in the field of petrochemical processes and discusses in detail
catalytic and adsorbent materials, reaction and separation mechanisms.
