While energy is essential for development, standard fossil fuels are often in short supply in countries where it is needed most. However, alternative fuel resources abound in the form of agricultural and municipal waste or "biomass." This report reviews the state of the art of biomass combustion and gasification systems, their advantages and disadvantages. It also encourages investment in use of these technologies to enable developing countries to better exploit their biomass resources and help close the gap between their energy needs and their energy supply.

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 MBProcess 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.
