    Problem Solving for Process Operators and Specialists


    J. M. Bonem, "Problem Solving for Process Operators and Specialists" 
    Wil ey-AI ChE | 2011 | ISBN: 0470627743 | 344 pages | PDF | 3,2 MB


    A dependable five-step problem-solving technique for chemical plant and refinery process operators and engineers

    As chemical engineering processes increase in size, scale, and intricacy, industrial problem solvers need to embrace new strategies for resolving complex or chronic plant operating issues. Too often, these professionals rely on intuition and experience-based solutions for tackling problems that require rigid procedural standards, resulting in approaches that routinely fail to fix—or even define—what's gone wrong. To institute a more effective industrial problem-solving environment, Problem Solving for Process Operators and Specialists combines cause-and-effect thinking with the formulation of theoretically correct hypotheses to create a five-step technique for overcoming the most challenging operational stumbling blocks. Discussion includes:

    Techniques to find, define, and solve process problems and to create a daily monitoring system before they progress to the critical level

    Methods for formulating corrective remedies for typical process equipment such as pumps, compressors, heat exchangers/furnaces, fractionating towers, and reactors

    A thorough, well-balanced mix of underlying theory and practical field applications

    Helpful tips on reducing repeat failure risk by teaching how to determine the root cause of a problem

    Presenting pragmatic calculation techniques, real-world examples, and insight from an author with more than fifty years of industrial experience, this practical resource hones greater awareness and responsiveness to problems related to processes in operating plants, and helps establish a protocol these facilities can implement to attain—and maintain—peak performance.





    Design and Safety Assessment of Critical Systems


    Marco Bozzano and Adolfo Villafiorita, "Design and Safety Assessment of Critical Systems" 
    Au bach Pub tions | 2010 | ISBN: 1439803315 | 297 pages | PDF | 1,9 MB


    Safety-critical systems, by definition those systems whose failure can cause catastrophic results for people, the environment, and the economy, are becoming increasingly complex both in their functionality and their interactions with the environment. Unfortunately, safety assessments are still largely done manually, a time-consuming and error-prone process. The growing complexity of these systems requires an increase in the skill and efficacy of safety engineers and encourages the adoption of formal and standardized techniques.


    An introduction to the area of design and verification of safety-critical systems, Design and Safety Assessment of Critical Systems focuses on safety assessment using formal methods. Beginning with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of safety and reliability, it illustrates the pivotal issues of design, development, and safety assessment of critical systems.


    The core of the book covers traditional notations, techniques, and procedures, including Fault Tree Analysis, FMECA, HAZOP, and Event Tree Analysis, and explains in detail how formal methods can be used to realize such procedures. It looks at the development process of safety-critical systems, and highlights influential management and organizational aspects. Finally, it describes verification and validation techniques and new trends in formal methods for safety and concludes with some widely adopted standards for the certification of safety-critical systems.


    Providing an in-depth and hands-on view of the application of formal techniques to advanced and critical safety assessments in a variety of industrial sectors, such as transportation, avionics and aerospace, and nuclear power, Design and Safety Assessment of Critical Systems allows anyone with a basic background in mathematics or computer science to move confidently into this advanced arena of safety assessment.

    Instrument Engineers' Handbook, Vol. 2: Process Control and Optimization


    Bela G. Liptak, "Instrument Engineers' Handbook, Vol. 2: Process Control and Optimization" 
    Publisher: CRC Press | pages: 2464 | 2005 | ISBN: 0849310814 | PDF | 57,6 mb

    The latest update to Bela Liptak's acclaimed "bible" of instrument engineering is now available. Retaining the format that made the previous editions bestsellers in their own right, the fourth edition of Process Control and Optimization continues the tradition of providing quick and easy access to highly practical information. The authors are practicing engineers, not theoretical people from academia, and their from-the-trenches advice has been repeatedly tested in real-life applications. Expanded coverage includes descriptions of overseas manufacturer's products and concepts, model-based optimization in control theory, new major inventions and innovations in control valves, and a full chapter devoted to safety. With more than 2000 graphs, figures, and tables, this all-inclusive encyclopedic volume replaces an entire library with one authoritative reference. The fourth edition brings the content of the previous editions completely up to date, incorporates the developments of the last decade, and broadens the horizons of the work from an American to a global perspective.


    Instrument Engineers' Handbook, Vol. 1: Process Measurement and Analysis


    Bela G. Liptak, "Instrument Engineers' Handbook, Vol. 1: Process Measurement and Analysis" 
    Publisher: CRC Press | pages: 1920 | 2003 | ISBN: 0849310830 | PDF | 18 mb

    Unsurpassed in its coverage, usability, and authority since its first publication in 1969, the three-volume Instrument Engineers' Handbook continues to be the premier reference for instrument engineers around the world.

    Now entering its fourth edition, Volume 1: Process Measurement and Analysis is fully updated with increased emphasis on installation and maintenance consideration. Its coverage is now fully globalized with product descriptions from manufacturers around the world.



    Solid/Liquid Separation: Equipment Selection and Process Design


    Solid/Liquid Separation: Equipment Selection and Process Design

    In this volume, the third in a set specifically written for the industrial process and chemical engineer, the authors provide the detailed information on filtration equipment and media which allows the reader to then consider the pre-treatment of suspensions, selection of the most appropriate equipment for the task, data analysis and the subsequent design of the processes involved for particular separations.

    The result is a comprehensive book which is designed to be used frequently and referred to regularly in order to achieve better industrial separations.

    Successful industrial-scale separation of solids from liquids requires not only a thorough understanding of the principles involved, but also an appreciation of which equipment to use for best effect, and a start-to-finish plan for the various processes involved in the operation. If these factors are all correct, then successful separations should result.
