Pilot Plants And Scale-Up Of Chemical Processes

One of the biggest challenges facing today's chemist and chemical engineer is the translation of bench chemistry to the pilot plant. This book provides expert insights into current best practice, and will prove an indispensable manual for all those involved in pilot plant design and scale-up implementation - process chemists, engineers and managers alike. The international expertise of the contributors covers a wide range of topics, and new material covered includes: the removal of heavy metals from effluent, heat flow calorimetry, low temperature processes, good manufacturing practice in pilot plants, design issues, the use of statistical methods in the running of pilot plants. Pilot Plants and Scale-Up of Chemical Processes is a must for all those who are, and wish to remain, expert in the field, providing for the first time in print, a comprehensive and unique perspective of pilot plant production.
