{"product_id":"9781032583426","title":"Troubleshooting in the Chemical Process Industries","description":"\u003cp\u003eTroubleshooting is an activity on which process engineers spend a relatively large portion of their time throughout their career. And yet, it is a topic not adequately covered in chemical engineering curricula. While the fundamental principles surrounding the field of chemical engineering are taught, they are presented as fragments and, like pieces of a puzzle, must be put together when analyzing a potential problem. \u003cb\u003eTroubleshooting in the Chemical Process Industries\u003c\/b\u003e offers readers practical guidance on problem-solving in the chemical process industry from a process engineering perspective. It links fundamental principles of chemical engineering together, considers the data gathering and analysis steps in the problem-solving process, and details how they can be effectively used to identify root causes of and resolve operating problems. The book highlights the importance of troubleshooting as a response to abnormal process behavior that threatens or prevents achievement of targets, such as production volume, product sales specifications, and environmental and process safety performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsiders troubleshooting in three categories: for existing facilities, during retrofit of an existing facility, and for new plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers plant performance monitoring and discusses the source of process data relative to instrumentation and associated errors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses process simulation in troubleshooting, strategies for dealing with the empirical aspects of processes, and manipulation of raw process data into meaningful performance information\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores the perspectives of process engineers and process operators, comparing and contrasting both functions, considering human factor issues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures industrial case studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this practical book, process engineers are given the know-how to solve real-world problems they are likely to encounter in industry through the application of sound process engineering methodologies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47754204381425,"sku":"9781032583426","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781032583426_p0.jpg?v=1784111028","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781032583426","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
