Ludwig's Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants Incorporating Process Safety Incidents, Volume 1B provides improved techniques and fundamental designs methodologies to guide the practicing engineer in designing process equipment and applying chemical processes to the properly detailed hardware. Like its predecessor, this new edition continues to present updated information for achieving optimum operational and process conditions and to avoid problems caused by inadequate sizing and lack of internally detailed hardware.

The volumes provide both fundamental theories where applicable and direct application of these theories to applied equations essential in the design effort. This approach in presenting design information is essential for troubleshooting process equipment and in executing system performance analysis. Sections cover process planning, flow-sheeting and scheduling, cost estimation and economic, physical properties of liquids and gases, fluid flow, mixing of liquids, mechanical separations, process safety and pressure-relieving devices, metallurgy and corrosion, and process optimization, amongst other topics.
