Troubleshooting in the Chemical Process Industries

Troubleshooting is an activity that process engineers dedicate a substantial portion of their careers to.However, it remains a topic that is not thoroughly addressed in chemical engineering education.While the core principles of chemical engineering are taught, they are often presented in isolation, requiring engineers to piece them together like a puzzle when faced with a potential issue.Troubleshooting in the Chemical Process Industries provides readers with practical insights into problem-solving within the Chemical Process Industry from a process engineering perspective.The book connects fundamental chemical engineering principles, emphasizes the importance of data collection and analysis in the problem-solving process, and demonstrates how these tools can be effectively applied to identify root causes and resolve operational challenges.It underscores the critical role of troubleshooting in addressing abnormal process behaviors that jeopardize or hinder the achievement of key objec
