Synopsis
Using classic thermodynamic principles as the point of departure, this new edition of a popular resource supplies the understanding and tools required to measure process ef ciency and sustainability with much improved accuracy. Exploring the driving forces in the chemical and power industries, Efficiency and Sustainability in the Energy and Chemical Industries: Scientific Principles and Case Studies, Third Edition investigates why losses occur and explains how to reduce them. It focuses on the changing roles of refining and chemicals in industry and how the industry is transforming itself, and considers economics as a key enabler to look at technology choices and whether shareholder returns will be there. • Includes new chapters on plastics recycling technologies and challenges, low carbon energy sources, the changing energy mix, and project economics, taxes, and subsidies. • Illustrates techniques with wide-ranging case studies related to energy conversion, mining, and the chemical industries as well as examples and problems. • Considers engineering layouts that reduce the environmental impact of chemical operations. • Explains how to use energy analysis to accurately assess the quality and performance of chemical processes. • Supplies quantitative tools for analyzing sustainability and efciency. • Investigates the challenges of the hydrogen economy and CO2 and low carbon. • Discusses plastics recycling, economics, and a changing energy mix. Complete with the keys to quanti cation of process ef ciency and sustainability, this cutting-edge book is the ideal guide for those engaged in the transition from fossil-based fuels to renewable and sustainable energy sources using low-waste procedures.
