Summary

Applicable to a broad range of technicians and industries and fully updated throughout, A Working Guide to Process Equipment, Fourth Edition, explains how to diagnose, troubleshoot, and correct problems with chemical and petroleum refining process equipment. Nine new chapters cover: ? Tray design details ? Shell-and-tube heat exchanger design details ? Relief valve system design ? Vapor lock and exchanger flooding in steam systems ? Steam generation operating and design details ? Wastewater strippers ? Thermodynamics-how it applies to process equipment ? Centrifugal pumps-reducing seal and bearing failures ? Hand calculations for distillation towers ? Vapor-liquid equilibrium, absorption, and stripping calculations Filled with examples and illustrations, this practical resource demonstrates how theory applies to solving real-world plant operation problems. Selected hand calculation methods are also provided.
