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
