| Optimization of Industrial Unit Processes - Second Edition |
| by Bela G. Liptak, 704pp - 1998 |
| In Optimization of Industrial Unit Processes,
the term "optimization" means the maximizing of productivity
and safety while minimizing operating costs.
In a fully optimized
plant, efficiency and productivity are continuously maximized
while levels, temperatures, pressures, or flows float within
their allowable limits. |
|
This control philosophy differs from earlier approaches -where
levels and temperatures were controlled at constant values,
and plant productivity was only an accidental, uncontrolled
consequence of those controlled variables.
With this approach,
the sides of a multivariable control envelope are the various
constraints while inside the envelope the process is
continuously moved to maximize efficiency and productivity. |
| Because one must understand a process before one can control it (let alone optimize it), Optimization of Industrial Unit Processes discusses the "personality" and characteristics of each-process in term of its time constraints, gains, and other unique features. |
| Features |
- Contains twelve chapters - each detailing the control of a particular unit operation
- Describes how to maximize efficiency and minimize the operating cost of individual unit operations
- Examines the "personality" and characteristics of each process in term of its time, constants, gains, and other features
- Analyzes how levels, temperatures, pressures, or flows within their allowable limits serve to continuously maximize efficiency and productivity

This book provides information for engineers who design or
operate industrial plants and who seek to increase the
profitability of their plants.
It recognizes that
all industrial processes involve operations such as material
transportation, heat transfer, and reactions.
Therefore each plant
consists of a combination of basic unit operations and can be
optimized by maximizing the efficiency, and minimizing the
operating cost, of the individual unit operations from which
it is composed. |
| Optimization of Industrial Unit Processes discusses real world processes - where pipes leak, sensors plug, and pumps cavitate
- offering practical solutions to real problems.
Each control system
described in the book works, illustrating the state of the art
in controlling a particular unit operation.
his second edition
reflects the continual improvement and evolution of control
systems as well as anticipates future advances. |
