Product Description:
A facility is only as efficient and profitable as the equipment that is in it. This highly influential book is a powerful resource for chemical, process, or plant engineers who need to select, design or configure plant successfully and profitably.
Written by some of the most experienced and well-known chemical and process engineers in the industry today, this information-packed volume gives the chemical or process engineer or engineering student all of the guidelines for the design and selection of chemical process equipment. Comprehensive and practical, its scope and emphasis on real-world process design and performance of equipment will prove invaluable for day-to-day problem solving.
* The comprehensive and influential guide to the selection and design of a wide range of chemical process equipment, used by engineers globally . Copious examples of successful applications, with supporting schematics and data to illustrate the functioning and performance of equipment
* Revised edition, new material includes updated equipment cost data, liquid-solid and solid systems, and the latest information on membrane separation technology
* Provides equipment rating forms and manufacturers' data, worked examples, valuable shortcut methods, rules of thumb, and equipment rating forms to demonstrate and support the design process
* Heavily illustrated with many line drawings and schematics to aid understanding, graphs and tables to illustrate performance data

Summary: The most practical chemical engineering book ever!!!!
Rating: 5
If you are a working chemical or process engineer this book is great to check how equipments are really built. If you are a student or a professor, you may not found it very helpful. It shows you for real how equipments are design with several constructive details.
Summary: Overwhelming
Rating: 3
Tons of information but nearly useless for the process design course that I am taking this semester. Avoid paying full price because it is like a big reference book
Summary: This is Not Perry's
Rating: 4
The book starts out with some refinery flow sheets for making 'grasoline' from 'californing' crude. Process control is simple enough. The next section on fluid flow uses non-standard equations which are overly complex. The same goes for heat transfer. Fair does a good job on distillation. Reaction engineering is completly omited from this text.
Summary: The most practical chemical engineering reference book
Rating: 4
For the working chemical process design engineer, this is the best reference I've come across. It tells you how to pick equipment and generally how to determine equipment sizes. As a design or procurement engineer you work with vendors to make final equipment selection, but this book gives you what you need to know before you start talking to the vendors. It bridges the gap between theory you can get from textbooks and detailed applications you can get from sales literature. I'm surprised this book hasn't caught on as a standard in the chemical engineering profession
