Problem Solving for Process Operators and Specialists, J. M. Bonem


 
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.

Process Systems Analysis and Control (3rd Edition), Donald R. Coughanowr


Process Systems Analysis and Control (3rd Edition)
 Donald R. Coughanowr & Steve E. L | 2008 | ISBN: 007339789X | 630 pages | PDF | 3.91 MB
Process Systems Analysis and Control, third edition retains the clarity of presentation for which this book is well known. It is an ideal teaching and learning tool for a semester-long undergraduate chemical engineering course in process dynamics and control. It avoids the encyclopedic approach of many other texts on this topic. Computer examples using MATLAB® and Simulink® have been introduced throughout the book to supplement and enhance standard hand-solved examples. These packages allow the easy construction of block diagrams and quick analysis of control concepts to enable the student to explore "what-if" type problems that would be much more difficult and time consuming by hand.

Physical-Chemical Treatment of Water and Wastewater By Sincero



Arcadio P. Sincero, Gregoria A. Sincero, "Physical-Chemical Treatment of Water and Wastewater"
CRC | 2002-07-29 | ISBN: 978-1-58716-124-7| 856 pages | PDF | 22.5 MB

Features
·  Provides tables to give the reader the practical values of variables
·  Covers material based on the latest CWA and SDWA requirements
·  Offers numerous figures to aid in comprehending the discussions in the text
·  Includes nearly 700 end-of-chapter problems, and an instructor's manual is available

Summary
 
The books currently available on this subject contain some elements of physical-chemical treatment of water and wastewater but fall short of giving comprehensive and authoritative coverage. They contain some equations that are not substantiated, offering empirical data based on assumptions that are therefore difficult to comprehend. This text brings together the information previously scattered in several books and adds the knowledge from the author's lectures on wastewater engineering.Physical-Chemical Treatment of Water and Wastewater is not only descriptive but is also analytical in nature. The work covers the physical unit operations and unit processes utilized in the treatment of water and wastewater. Its organization is designed to match the major processes and its approach is mathematical. The authors stress the description and derivation of processes and process parameters in mathematical terms, which can then be generalized into diverse empirical situations. Each chapter includes design equations, definitions of symbols, a glossary of terms, and worked examples. One author is an environmental engineer and a professor for over 12 years and the other has been in the practice of environmental engineering for more than 20 years. They offer a sound analytical mathematical foundation and description of processes. Physical-Chemical Treatment of Water and Wastewater fills a niche as the only dedicated textbook in the area of physical and chemical methods, providing an analytical approach applicable to a range of empirical situations.
