With the advent of computers, mathematical programming methods, and artificial intelligence, the strategies and approaches for the design of chemical processes have been significantly improved. This text describes these design strategies. It provides easy-to-understand rules to enable students to carry out process designs, and also emphasizes the importance of assessing plant-wide controllability Accompanying the text is a multi-media CD-ROM which uses voice, video and animation to introduce students to steady-state simulators like ASPEN PLUS and HYSYS. It also contains the solutions to over 60 examples using one of these simulators.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
One of the most important objective in this text describes the strategies and approaches for the design of chemical processes. It covers economic (optimization) and environmental issues. The latest design strategies are described, most of which have been improved significantly with the advent of computers, mathematical programming methods, and artificial intelligence.
From the Back Cover
A step-by-step approach to designing chemical products and processes
From societal needs to plantwide controllability, the Second Edition guides you through each step in the design of chemical products and processes. Now updated and revised to reflect recent advances, the text and its accompanying multimedia CD provides a powerful learning environment. Throughout, the emphasis is on quantitative problem solving, including the use of heuristics, simulation, and optimization.
Highlights of the Second Edition
- Features substantial treatment of product design, complete with coverage of the manufacture of specialty chemicals (including pharmaceuticals) and configured consumer products, a new chapter on molecular structure design, and coverage of the synthesis, simulation, and optimization of batch processes.
- Part 2 presents new coverage of reactor network synthesis, reactor-separator-recycle networks, mass integration, and optimal scheduling of batch processes.
- New chapters examine the design of chemical reactors, separation columns, and pumps, compressors, and turbines.
- More comprehensive economics chapters include ne w sections on cost accounting, the estimation of equipment purchase costs, and the use of the Aspen Icarus Process Evaluator (IPE).
- Process simulators (Steady state, dynamic, and batch) are used throughout the text.
- Illustrates design strategies by applying them to chemical products and processes in several industries.
The enclosed CD provides:
- Encyclopedic, self-paced instruction with tutorials on ASPEN PLUS and HYSYS.Plant in a multimedia format, featuring audio, video, and animations.
- ASPEN PLUS backup (.bkp) and HYSYS.Plant (.hsc) files for the simulation examples in the text.
- MATLAB files to support examples in the text.
- Spreadsheet to compute profitability measures.
- PDFs for slected chapters and sections Chapters 8 and 9, and Sections 16.7 and 17.8, from the text, as well as additional resources.
- Throughout the text, margin icons link concepts to the material on the CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The best book in the market about chemical process synthesis,
By G. H. P (Medellin, Antioquia Colombia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Process Design Principles: Synthesis, Analysis, and Evaluation (Hardcover)
Covering the main topics in chemical process synthesis an design, this book present a broad view of the state of the art techniques and methods to achieve an optimum design.With this work, Dr. Seider, et al, have given an invaluable contribution to the teaching of this field, presenting a logical an principle based approach for the "basic plant design", in contrast to the experience based traditional view. Focusing on the extensive use of commercial process simulators, the book presents an overview of the conceptual basis of process simulation and optimization,but not its mathematical detail, giving the engineer the opportunity to focus on the process instead of focus on the mathematical and computational problem.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Only good if you want to do simulations,
By A Customer
This review is from: Process Design Principles: Synthesis, Analysis, and Evaluation (Hardcover)
As for using this book for design - I would say that it is marginal at best. If you happen to use Aspen and do everything using a process simulator, this book is pretty good. From and economics/costing standpoint, this book doesn't even come close to Peters & Timmerhaus. Does not have much of a discussion on material selection - a definite drawback. It does include a nice appendix on design heuristics that draws from Walas and other sources.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Never use ChemCAD,
This review is from: Product and Process Design Principles: Synthesis, Analysis, and Evaluation (Hardcover)
I am a registered Professional Engineer (PE) and also currently studying in the department of Chemical Engineering in one university.
I have to say, if possible, never use ChemCAD or else I will review this book as 5 star. I used many commercially available software in companies and in schools but have never received any product assistant like ChemCAD. They refused to answer students questions and even wrote to department "Stop this student contacting us". And they do not have many resources as other process software, i.e. Aspen etc. And some critical pressures etc are not accurate at all.
