This handbook makes it easy to solve chemical engineering problems quickly and accurately using step-by-step procedures for performing a wide array of chemical engineering calculations together with worked out examples and numerical results.

Revised and expanded, Handbook of Chemical Engineering Calculations, Fourth Edition shows how to solve the main process-related problems that often crop up in chemical engineering practice. By following the calculation procedures presented, engineers will be able to obtain accurate results with minimum time and effort. The new calculation procedures reflect the recent changes in “green” and environmental outlooks that have taken place throughout the world, particularly in relation to chemical plants and pollution.

New coverage in the Fourth Edition:

  • “Green” operations to prevent atmospheric, water, and soil pollution by chemical plants in all areas of the world
  • Environmental considerations in plant design
  • Sanitary wastewater treatment and control
  • With the greater emphasis on greenhouse gas emissions, carbon dioxide emissions and release, and clean-air environmental compliance, calculations are presented to show how to control these variables
  • New calculations show how, and where, energy can be conserved and reused to reduce fuel consumption and operating costs
  • Calculations-related codes and regulations help the plant designer and operator comply with the stricter requirements throughout the world

Solids Level Measurement and Detection Handbook

6 02 2012

Solids Level Measurement and Detection Handbook Solids Level Measurement and Detection Handbook

Author: Joe Lewis
ISBN: 9781606502549 / 1606502549 
©2012 | 1st Edition | 280 pages | Hardback
Pub Date: MAR-12
Price: US$ 79.95

 

 

This is a comprehensive reference on state-of-the art controls and systems for measuring and monitoring bulk solid materials. Solids Level Measurement and Detection Handbook features:

  • Definitions of standard terms and overview of typical problems and solutions in automated bulk materials handling
  • In-depth coverage of Point Level Detection Technology and Instrumentation
  • In-depth coverage of Continuous Level Technology and Instrumentation
  • Explains how automated solids materials can be integrated into inventory management

 

Storing, handling, and processing of bulk solid materials is fundamental to nearly every manufacturing and processing industry, from the food industry and agribusiness, to the plastics industry, to the mining and cement industries, to coal-fired electric utilities. Automating the handling and processing of solids is rapidly growing, but heretofore little has been published on the latest in sensors and controls used in such applications. This book is intended to meet that need, with full coverage, from principles of measuring solid bulk materials to controlling their flow and movement to help with choosing the right equipment for specific applications. Nowhere else in the current literature will industrial engineers, controls engineers, and manufacturing technicians find a better resource on current sensor controls and systems used to automate the handling and process of bulk solid materials.
