The latest methods for troubleshooting and maintaining process equipment

Applicable to a broad range of technicians and industries and fully updated throughout, A Working Guide to Process Equipment, Fourth Edition, explains how to diagnose, troubleshoot, and correct problems with chemical and petroleum refining process equipment. Nine new chapters cover:

• Tray design details
• Shell-and-tube heat exchanger design details
• Relief valve system design
• Vapor lock and exchanger flooding in steam systems
• Steam generation operating and design details
• Wastewater strippers
• Thermodynamics -- how it applies to process equipment
• Centrifugal pumps -- reducing seal and bearing failures
• Hand calculations for distillation towers
• Vapor -- liquid equilibrium, absorption, and stripping calculations

Filled with examples and illustrations, this practical resource demonstrates how theory applies to solving real-world plant operation problems. Selected hand calculation methods are also provided.
