This book deals with the design and integration of chemical processes, emphasizing the conceptual issues that are fundamental to the creation of the process. Chemical process design requires the selection of a series of processing steps and their integration to form a complete manufacturing system. The text emphasizes both thedesign and selection of the steps as individual operations and their integration. Also, the process will normally operate as part of an integrated manufacturing site consisting of a number of processes serviced by a common utility system. The design of utility systems has been dealt with in the text so that the interactions between processes and the utility system and interactions between different processes through the utility system can be exploited to maximize the performance of the site as a whole.
Chemical processing should form part of a sustainable industrial activity. For chemical processing, this means that processes should use raw materials as efficiently as is economic and practicable, both to prevent the production of waste that can be environmentally harmful and to preserve the reserves of raw materials as much as possible. Processes should use as little energy as economic and practicable, both to prevent the build-up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels and to preserve reserves of fossil fuels. Water must also be consumed in sustainable quantities that do not cause deterioration in the quality of the water source and the long-term quantity of the reserves. Aqueous and atmospheric emissions must not be environmentally harmful, and solid waste to landfill must be avoided. Finally, all aspects of chemical processing must feature good health and safety practice.
It is important for the designer to understand the limitations of the methods used in chemical process design. The best way to understand the limitations is to understand the derivations of the equations used and the assumptions on which the equations are based. Where practical, the derivation of the design equations has been included in the text.
The book is intended to provide a practical guide to chemical process design and integration for undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemical engineering, practicing process designers and chemical engineers and applied chemists working in process development. Examples have been included throughout the text. Most of these examples do not require specialist software and can be performed on spreadsheet software. Finally, a number of exercises have been added at the end of each chapter to allow the reader to practice the calculation procedures.

DEAR SIRS:
THIS BOOK IS THE BEST CHOICE THAT I COULD DO.
I CHEECK ALL THE CONTENTS AND IT HAS ALL THE INFORMATION THAT I NEED, I’M A CHEMICAL ENGINEERING AND FOR MY IS TOO USEFUL.
THANKS
Summary: A great book either as textbook or as handbook
Rating: 5
Chemical Process Design and Integration covers all different aspects of conceptual chemical process design, using clear examples and thorough explanation. I enjoyed this book very much.
Summary: What’s Your Philosophy
Rating: 4
What you think of what makes this book unique is what you think of the mid eightys publications of bodo linhoff on pinch technology. If nothing else the text doesn’t cover fluid flow very well.
Summary: Good introduction, slightly ouf of date
Rating: 4
The book is very useful introduction into the field of pinch analysis by one of leading researchers in the field and covers everything that currently is standard practice in industry. It is not up to date with newer developments like the application of pinch technolgy to waste water management or to mass exchange networks and to the automatic generation of heat exchanger networks via mathematical programming.
Summary: good contents, poor printed to the figures
Rating: 5
To publisher: I didn’t understand well how do you make the figures including the words in your book. Some words and characters in some figures cannot see clearly, as page 62 figure 2.10.
