Review:

Good Reference Book

This is a very good reference book. It provides general design procedures on a process design life cycle. Very useful.

Great Product

This book is an excellent book for a Chemical Engineer final year student or Chemical/Process Engineer professional. It outlines the whole spectrum for Process Engineer design, from management skills for a project, preferrable site location, actual design of Process equipment/vessels, etc. This book is definately an execellent buy for a Chemical/Process Engineer.

A very complete and helpful guide for process design

It's a very complete guide for process design. It considers both standards and directives form US and EU. The main considerations about how to start and carry out the first steps on process design are very complete and helpful.

Review:

Great Catalog for options are available

I found this book be an excellent summary of equipment capacities. There a several tables showing ranges of equipment based on a particular process variable and pro/con tables to aid in your selection. What is in short supply are anything but basic design equations for equipment. This is also true for an old favorite of mine: "Handbook of Separation Techniques for Chemical Engineers" by Philip A. Schweitzer. This textbook is less current, may be more useful for basic design, though more narrow.

My suggestion is to have Schweitzer and Sinnott's book in the design section of your professional library. Be careful with this book because it is paperback.
