Concepts of Chemical Engineering 4 Chemists introduces the basic concepts of chemical engineering plant design and operation.

The book is aimed particularly at industrial chemists who find themselves working on chemical engineering-type unit operations. It is intended to be a "dip-in" reference, giving guidance on how to, for instance, design pumps, how to measure key process variables and how to use these to calculate the essential design parameters, such as heat and mass transfer coefficients, required for the design (and analysis) of typical unit operations.

Concepts of Chemical Engineering 4 Chemists also covers other issues, such as safety, project economic appraisal and process control. Coverage avoids derivations from first principles, simply providing the necessary equations and explaining and demonstrating their use.
