Download or read book Plant Design and Economics for Chemical Engineers written by Max S. Peters and published by McGraw-Hill Companies. This book was released on 1980 with total page 1000 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth edition of Plant Design and Economics for Chemical Engineers is a major revision of the popular fourth edition. There are new chapters on process synthesis, computer-aided design, and design of chemical reactors. A traditionally strong feature of the text, economic analysis, has been revamped and updated. Another strength, equipment sizing and cost estimation, is updated and expanded as well. These improvements also reflect changes in equipment availability. The numerous real examples throughout the book include computer or hand solutions, and often both. There is a new increased emphasis on computer use in design, economic evaluation, and optimization. Concepts, strategies, and approaches to computer use are featured. These concepts are not tied to particular software programs and therefore apply to wide a range of applications software, of both current and future release. This widely used text is now more useful than ever, providing a "one-stop" guide to chemical process design and evaluation.

Download or read book A Triple Bottom Line Approach to Advanced Project Evaluation written by Grace Ding and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of ‘the triple bottom line’ has recently emerged to describe a new framework for development aimed at achieving economic and social balance while maintaining the long-term integrity of ecological systems. This requires measuring not only the economic viability of projects, but also their impact on the environment and their contribution to society. We live in a world where most people are aware of the importance of our environment. The way in which this realisation came about has, in hindsight, not been as simple as could have been expected. Systematic evaluations of the economic viability of projects using discounting date back to the beginning of the last century and are something which has been readily accepted, especially over the last few decades. However, an integrated approach, including environmental and social aspects, is much more recent, and even now, the methods and methodologies for such an approach are still being developed. This volume details the state of the art of the development towards the triple bottom line. It indicates where there is still debate about fundamental principles, where theory has been overlooked in the name of convenience, and where there are still unresolved problems. The discussions provided here will serve to provide a more detailed understanding of what we do in our calculations, what they mean and the limitations thereof.

Download or read book Financial Evaluation of Environmental Investments written by Tuula Moilanen and published by IChemE. This book was released on 1996 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional ways of analyzing investments, like net present value or payback calculations, do not deal adequately with environmental issues. Future liabilities and the long time-scale over which a product or process has an impact on the environment are not generally included, and risk is not incorporated properly. This text takes a holistic view of decision-making. The authors advance a methodology which puts the expected monetary values of different investment and risk scenarios into a mathematical model. Features of the model are a wider set of cost-benefits, a disciplined approach to risk and uncertainty, a consideration of the environmental aspects of every facet of an investment, quantification of less tangible things like corporate image and future liabilities, and a strict treatment of items like pollution monitoring that have been passed off as overheads. Case studies and examples of analysis to help you put it all into practice are included.
Download or read book Process Optimisation written by J. K. Walters and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2017-07-07 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Process Optimisation documents the proceedings of a three-day Symposium organized by the Midlands Branch of The Institution of Chemical Engineers, held at the University of Nottingham, on 7-9 April 1987. The initiative for this Symposium on Process Optimization came from Dr. K.C. Mecklenburgh, a Senior Lecturer at the University of Nottingham, who was Chairman of the Organizing Committee from its inception until his death in November 1986. Mecklenburgh was a scholarly man, an acknowledged authority on Plant Layout and Safety, and a man very active in all aspects of the Institution's affairs. This volume contains 27 papers organized into three sections and follows the development of Process Plant from conception to operation. The papers in Section 1 discuss Project Selection, with an emphasis on financial implications, resource availability, and energy matters. Section 2 is devoted to Process Design where detailed optimization possibilities are considered including safety and hazard assessment. Section 3 covers Plant Operation where condition monitoring, revamp, and computing and control systems are all considered for optimization.
