For piping engineers and designers, this volume serves as an intermediate-level handbook on the guidelines and procedures for process plants and interconnecting piping systems in a petrochemical or oil and gas processing facility. The second in a two-volume series, it follows Smith's book The Fundamentals of Piping Design (2007) and integrates those concepts with information on the necessary process equipment required for plant layout, types, functions, applicable international codes, piping support and stress issues, safety and accessibility, operation and maintenance influences, and safety precautions. Best practices for the design of cooling towers, pipeways, and relief systems are included. Botermans works at a software development company that creates mechanical engineering applications for the process industry.
