Chemical process design starts with the selection of a series of processing steps and their interconnection into aflowsheet to transform raw materials into desired products. vVhereas a great emphasis in chemical engineering traditionally has been placed 011 the analysis or simulation of flowsheets, the creation or synthesis of flowsheets has received, by comparison, little attention. Yet the decisions made during the synthesis of the flowsheet are of paramount importance in determining the economic viability, safetYl and environmental impact of the final design. This text will concentrate all developing all understanding of the concepts required at each stage of the synthesis of process flowsheets.
Chemical processes will in the future need to be designed as part of a sustainable industri.al development which retains the capacity of eCQsystems to support industrial activity alld life. This book therefore places a high emphasis on waste minimization and energy efficiency in the context of good economic performance and good health and safety practices. The structure of the text largely follows the order ill which the decisions should be made during the development of a process design. Economic evaluation has been included, but as an appendix so as not to interrupt the flow of the text. This book is intended to provide a practical guide to chemical process design for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemical engineering, practicing process designers, and practicing chemical engineers working in process development.
