Features

• Presents a consistent and integrated approach to effectively managing process development
• Provides working procedures for managing the development of chemical industrial processes
• Explores practical solutions to major R&D problems resulting from limited resources, unknown start-up challenges, and existing industrial practices
• Describes key, multidisciplinary communication tools

Developing An Industrial Chemical Process: An Integrated Approach is the first professional reference to examine the actual process development practices of industrial corporations, research organizations, engineering companies and universities. While most books on chemical processes concentrate only on the scientific/technical aspect, this book also deals with the range of people and "real life" issues involved.

Developing An Industrial Chemical Process also serves as a "how to" guide for the effective management of process development procedures. The issues start with the "why" and "how" concerns of the executives and project managers and proceed with the actual implementation by professionals, each in his/her particular role. The working organization and the different activities involved in a process development program, including the implementation, design, construction and start-up of a new plant is addressed.

Finally, each chapter provides a short summary of the key issues along with suggestions for further reading. This book can help you handle the problems normally associated with the development and implementation of a new process and reduce the time and resources that you and your organization spend on this critical activity.
