The focus of the book is on how to use mass and heat balances to simulate and design biological wastewater treatment processes. All the main processes for biological wastewater treatment are covered viz. activated sludge processes for carbon and nitrogen removal, anaerobic digestion, sequencing batc..
An Introduction to Polymer Rheology and Processing is a practical desk reference providing an overview of operating principles, data interpretation, and qualitative explanation of the importance and relationship of rheology to polymer processing operations...
This book focuses on process simulation in chemical engineering with a numerical algorithm based on the moving finite element method. It offers new tools and approaches for modeling problems with moving fronts. It provides a comprehensive account of the development of the moving finite element metho..
Using a Lyapunov-based approach, this book introduces advanced tools for the stability analysis of nonlinear systems. It first discusses standard stability techniques and their shortcomings and then introduces recent developments in stability analysis that can improve the applicability of standard t..
Focus on turnaround management in process industries is to lengthen the interval between turnarounds. This book outlines a strategy to execute optimized shutdown and turnaround by changing plant operating conditions and inspection techniques including managing more favorable turnaround options, pla..
This work explains how to solve industrial system problems using a novel control system design theory. This easy-to-use theory does not require designers to choose a weighting function and enables the controllers to be designed or tuned for quantitative engineering performance indices such as oversh..
Emphasizing the importance of understanding and reducing process variation to achieve quality manufacturing performance, this work establishes how statistical process control (SPC) provides powerful tools for measuring and regulating manufacturing processes. It presents information derived from time..
"Covers global and domestic competition, marketing strategies, operating expenses, and environmental and safety regulations for chemical professionals at all levels. Contains up-to-date mergers and acquisitions of chemical companies."..
