Chemical Plant Design

The world we live in is built on chemical processes, from the fuels that power our cities to the medicines that save lives. At the heart of these processes lies the chemical plant—a complex, integrated system where science meets engineering. Designing a chemical plant is a multidisciplinary challenge that requires a deep understanding of core principles, a sharp eye for detail, and an unwavering commitment to safety and sustainability.

This book is designed to be your comprehensive guide to that journey. It's not just a theoretical textbook; it's a practical roadmap that takes you from the foundational concepts of process flow and material balances all the way through to the intricacies of detailed design, construction, and plant operations. Whether you are an undergraduate student tackling your first capstone design project, a new engineer stepping into the field, or a seasoned professional looking to broaden your expertise, this book will provide the tools and knowledge you need.
