Control and Safety Analysis of Intensified Chemical Processes

Resource on the design and safety analysis of intensified chemical processes, ranging from general methods to specific applications Control and Safety Analysis of Intensified Chemical Processes covers the basic principles of and recent developments in control and safety analysis of intensified chemical processes, ranging from dynamic simulations and safety analysis to the design and control of important processes. The text discusses general methods and tools such as dynamic simulation and safety analysis as well as design and analysis of important applications in order to provide scientists and engineers with an understanding of the design and safety considerations involved in intensified chemical processes. Sample topics covered in Control and Safety Analysis of Intensified Chemical Processes include: Simulation and optimization methods, common programs and simulators for simulation and optimization, and interfacing of simulators and optimizers Programs/simulators for dynamic simulation and control, tuning of controllers, and popular criteria for control assessment Control of a distillation column with dual steam and hot-oil reboilers, and an energy intensified side-stream extractive distillation for binary azeotropic separation Dynamics and control of middle vessel batch distillation with vapor recompression and development of a control structure of intensified biobutanol production A comprehensive resource on the subject, Control and Safety Analysis of Intensified Chemical Processes is a highly valuable reference for researchers, students and practitioners interested in process intensification and their applications. The text can be adopted by instructors for use in advanced courses on process control and safety.
