From site selection and scope definition through cost estimating procedures and economic strategies, this comprehensive guide now includes information on energy efficiency and pollution controls. It detail how to achieve cost savings through these measures, as well as a new cash flow method that provides a significantly to understand easier approach than the previous economic model. It details how transport phenomena, thermodynamics, kinetics, and theoretical process control fit into the overall design plan. The volume is update to include information on new uses for computers in plant design, as well as detailed engineering, design, and startup procedures. It covers many of the important factors in plant design with clear examples of those aspects that engineers must consider.
