Woodhead Publishing Handbook of Process Integration (PI): Minimisation of Energy and Water Use, Waste and Emissions (Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy)

Since its first development in the 1970s, Process Integration (PI) has become an important methodology in achieving more energy efficient processes. This pioneering handbook brings together the leading scientists and researchers currently contributing to PI development, pooling their expertise and specialist knowledge to provide readers with a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the latest PI research and applications. Key Features: this pioneering handbook provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the latest process integration research and applications; reviews a wide range of process design and integration topics ranging from heat and utility systems to water, recycling, waste and hydrogen systems; chapters also address equipment design and operability issues, through to buildings and supply chains.
