WHAT OUR READERS SAY
I have now become a frequent user of the handbook. I am always trying to find ways to improve & I think I might have come across one.
The handbook is becoming my companion.
I am very often referring to it. It is really good. I keep being amazed at how you manage to put such a comprehensive piece together.
Herve BaronAuthor (The Oil & Gas Engineering Guide) - France
Mihir’s manual seems to be appropriate. As chemical engineer senior, editor of several books, others to be published in my area and with more than 40+ years of experience.
I consider it a Titanic and applaudable feat of a ChE professional.
Therefore the work of Mr. Mihir is recommended.
Fernando De ArmasConsulting Professional, Editor - Italy
This chemical process handbook is complete enough, covered almost all technical aspect and has practical side that really helpful for me in designing equipment or generating a comprehensive process study.
Its price is also reasonable and I recommend for all process engineers who want to enrich their knowledge.
Sesep SianturiProcess Engineer - Indonesia
What you have put together in this book is a great knowledge. You are serving the entire chemical engineering fraternity with this handbook.
Very few Indian author attempts to write, not because of knowledge but support from publishers and readers & my great thanks for your efforts.
Nilesh VarmaProcess Engineer - Saudi Arabia
This book is written by experienced Process & Safety professional.
Which gives insight of design of various process equipment. It has checklists. It will help process engineer for cross checking the design thoroughly. It has process equipment sizing templates. It will help process engineer for estimating typical sizes of various process equipment. It provides very good guidance on simulation and necessary thermodynamic models.
Naresh KhandaleChemical Engineer - India
This book is the one stop solution for all process engineers who are in designing side, EPC project side, operation side and process plant erection, testing & commissioning side.
The author has compiled complete data in a nutshell. The essence of this book is selection of process equipment with technical details, checklist, Datasheets, calculation templates for process equipment & completely practical oriented book for all levels of process engineers.
Syed Fayaz AhmedCathodic Protection Engineer - Saudi Arabia
This book was worth spending my money on as it has excellent level of detail and information related to Chemical Process Engineering.
Information related to a particular topic is easily accessible. That helps our root-cause work tremendously.
Comprehensive coverage across a range of topics from design specifications to maintenance troubleshooting, this handbook will provide all the essentials to learn and fill knowledge gaps.
This handbook is a very useful reference to all chemical engineers. It has very useful information on process engineering & contains different process designs based on experience of the author.
It has many process calculations, process datasheets, calculation templates and P&ID’s as a reference. I strongly recommend all the process engineers in consultancies or production companies to get this valuable unique hand book.
This eBook is an excellent collection of technical articles & spreadsheets which would be useful to all Chemical Engineers fresh graduate & working professional. The compilation is crisp, precise and tailor made for all Process Engineers who could diligently utilize them in their daily course of work.
I would like to take this opportunity to complement Mihir Patel for this masterpiece collection.
This enormous compilation of data is best tool for any process engineer. I believe I can use the book as a ready reference any where, any time.
ABOUT THE BOOK
“Mihir’s Handbook of Chemical Process Engineering” will aid the chemical engineer to carry out chemical process engineering in a very practical way. Chemical engineering is a very vast and complex field. This book aims to simplify the process engineering design.
Design of a chemical plant involves one being adept in technical aspects of process engineering. This chemical engineering book aims at making the chemical engineer proficient in the art of process design.
Included are chemical engineering basics on simulation, stoichiometry, fluid property calculation, dimensionless numbers, thermodynamics and on chemical engineering equipment like pump, compressor, steam turbine, gas turbine, flare, motor, fired heater, incinerator, heat exchanger, distillation column, fractionation column, absorber, stripper, packed column, solar evaporation pond, separator. Utility design of nitrogen, compressed air, water, effluent treatment, steam, condensate, desalination, fuel selection is covered.
Many chemical engineering calculations have been included. Special process items like flame arrestor, demister, feed device, pressure reducing and desuperheating station (PRDS), vortex breaker, electric heater, manual valve have been covered.
Process engineering design criteria, process control, material of construction, specialized process studies, safety studies, precommisioning and commissioning have been covered.
