  • Contents

The latest methods for troubleshooting and maintaining process equipment

This fully updated practical resource fully explains how to diagnose, troubleshoot, and correct problems across a broad range of industries—all without complex equations and without ever losing sight of the importance of direct field measurements and observations.

Nine new chapters cover:

  • Determining the Causes of Wet Steam,
  • Distillation Process Engineering Design Errors
  • Technical Adventures from the Past
  • Setting Pressure Relief Valves
  • Applying Process Engineering Technology to Natural Gas Production
  • Reduction of Flare Losses
  • Suppressing CO2 Emissions and Energy Conservation
  • A Final Word - The Earth's Oxygen Content
  • Evaluating Distillation Tray Capacity

Filled with real-world examples and illustrations, A Working Guide to Process Equipment, Fifth Edition clearly demonstrates how theory applies to solving real-world plant operation problems. Selected hand calculation methods are also provided.
