Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Maximize profitability by optimizing performance of separation processes! This book will help engineers, chemists, managers, and others in the chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, food, and paper industries maximize profitability by optimizing performance of separation processes. Focusing on distillation, extraction, adsorption, and membrane processes, it will help answer the following questions: Which process? Process choice significantly impacts profits. Criteria and comparisons are presented to aid in the selection process. Which process configuration? Costs can be minimized if the most efficient configuration is chosen. For example, the book compares regeneration configurations for adsorption, as well as optional configurations for other processes. What leading-edge processes are available? The best of commercially available leading-edge technologies are described in each process chapter. What follow-up information is available? Guidelines, references, and lists of equipment suppliers are provided for follow-up action. Separation Process Technology includes a foreword by Dr C. Judson King, noted authority on separations. Dr. King is Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs, and Professor of Chemical engineering at the university of California at Berkeley. commercially available leadin

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best book on separations ever!!!,
By B Watts "BW" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Separation Process Technology (Builder's Guide) (Hardcover)
This book continues to be used as a reference in other books, technical papers, and government agency reports. It is the only comprehensive, easy to read book on several separation process technologies. Though it was published in 1997, things haven't changed much in the industry and most of the information is current. This book is now available in French and there is much demand for it in the U.S. I wish the publisher would print a new edition.
