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.
