Energy And Process Optimization For The Process Industries

Exploring methods and techniques to optimize processing energy efficiency in process plants, Energy Optimization for the Process Industries provides a holistic approach that considers changing process conditions, process design changes, and upgrading process technology that has already been used in a process plant with success. Field tested by United Oil Products, the book describes energy management solutions to reduce energy consumption in process plants leading to significant returns on capital and includes an 8-point Guidelines for Success. The book provides managers, chemical and mechanical engineers, and plant operators with four kinds of energy improvement opportunities.

FRANK (Xin X.) ZHU is a Senior Fellow at UOP LLC, where he has led innovation efforts to optimize industrial process design and operation to achieve higher energy efficiency and lower capital cost. Before joining UOP, Dr. Zhu served as a research professor at the Centre for Process Integration at the University of Manchester in the UK. He is also a former editor-in-chief of CACS Communications, the magazine of the Chinese-American Chemical Society.
