An Applied Guide to Process and Plant Design, 2nd edition, is a guide to process plant design for both students and professional engineers. The book covers plant layout and the use of spreadsheet programs and key drawings produced by professional engineers as aids to design; subjects that are usually learned on the job rather than in education. You will learn how to produce smarter plant design through the use of computer tools, including Excel and AutoCAD, "What If Analysis," statistical tools, and Visual Basic for more complex problems. The book also includes a wealth of selection tables, covering the key aspects of professional plant design which engineering students and early-career engineers tend to find most challenging. Professor Moran draws on over 20 years' experience in process design to create an essential foundational book ideal for those who are new to process design, compliant with both professional practice and the IChemE degree accreditation guidelines.

Process Plant Layout, Second Edition, explains the methodologies used by professional designers to layout process equipment and pipework, plots, plants, sites, and their corresponding environmental features in a safe, economical way. It is supported with tables of separation distances, rules of thumb, and codes of practice and standards. The book includes more than seventy-five case studies on what can go wrong when layout is not properly considered. Sean Moran has thoroughly rewritten and re-illustrated this book to reflect advances in technology and best practices, for example, changes in how designers balance layout density with cost, operability, and safety considerations. The content covers the 'why' underlying process design company guidelines, providing a firm foundation for career growth for process design engineers. It is ideal for process plant designers in contracting, consultancy, and for operating companies at all stages of their careers, and is also of importance for operations and maintenance staff involved with a new build, guiding them through plot plan reviews.

An Applied Guide to Process and Plant Design explains how professional engineers carry out process design in industry. It covers plant layout, the use of spreadsheet programmes and key drawings as aids to design; subjects which are usually learned on the job rather than in education. The design tools discussed within the book will help you to produce tighter plant designs, saving you time. Computer tools discussed include Hysys and AutoCAD; tools to assist the creative process include "What If Analysis" features, statistical plugins and visual basic for more complex problems.

Prof. Moran has pulled together over 20 years experience in process design to create a foundational book that is ideal for those who are new to process design. It is fully supported with worked examples and case studies in order to assist learning. The integration of process design with process safety is also covered. This book is compliant with both professional practice and the IChemE degree accreditation guidelines. The information contained in this book is usually provided on the job by mentors; no other book is available with the same coverage.

Moran's Dictionary of Chemical Engineering Practice is the most comprehensive guide to the jargon of the chemical engineering profession. It defines and where necessary disambiguates more than 10,000 terms and includes short discussions of the various meanings of the most contested terms. Written by a highly experienced practitioner and drawing on the input of over two hundred other chemical engineering practitioners, it represents the most complete, current consensus on the language of chemical engineering.

STAINED GLASS is a play that tells the true story of Kurt Fitzpatrick and the events that unfold during his 1983 high school senior year. He's a star athlete, excellent student and altar server at St. Victor's Roman Catholic Church. He's also in love - with his parish priest.

At the Convent of the Holy Inquisition, the Sisters of Christ on the Cross are dropping like flies. Old age? Accidents? A punishment from God? No, even worse - MURDER But who, what, where, when and why? Join the mystery and the fun with body number one - a sweetly departed Nun.

An Applied Guide to Water and Effluent Treatment Plant Design is ideal for chemical, civil and environmental engineering students, graduates, and early career water engineers as well as more experienced practitioners who are transferring into the water sector. It brings together the design of process, wastewater, clean water, industrial effluent and sludge treatment plants, looking at the different treatment objectives within each sub-sector, selection and design of physical, chemical and biological treatment processes, and the professional hydraulic design methodologies. This book will show you how to carry out the key steps in the process design of all kinds of water and effluent treatment plants. It provides an essential refresher on the relevant underlying principles of engineering science, fluid mechanics, water chemistry and biology, together with a thorough description of the heuristics and rules of thumb commonly used by experienced practitioners. The water treatment plant designer will also find specific advice on plant layout, aesthetics, economic considerations and related issues such as odor control. The information contained in this book is usually provided on the job by mentors so it will remain a vital resource throughout your career.
