An Applied Guide to Process and Plant Design
An Applied Guide to Process and Plant Design is a guide to process plant design for both students and professional engineers.
The book covers plant layout and the use of spreadsheet programmes and key drawings produced by professional engineers as aids to design; subjects which are usually learned on the job rather than in education. You will learn how to produce smarter plant design through the use of computer tools, including Excel and AutoCAD, "What If Analysis", statistical tools, and Visual Basic for more complex problems. The book also includes a wealth of selection tables, covering the key aspects of professional plant design which engineering students and early-career engineers tend to find most challenging.
Professor Moran draws on over 20 years' experience in process design to create an essential foundational book ideal for those who are new to process design, compliant with both professional practice and the IChemE degree accreditation guidelines.

This book offers for readers who deal with field engineering industry prudent guide in the process and plant design from conceptual to operation stages. Remarkably, the author (mentor and lecturer was one of the rigorous module in my postgraduate study in Nottingham Universiy) dedicated his experience in the field industry producing a masterpiece chapters in the chemical engineering design in terms of aspects and process discussions as well as appending an exemplary case studies dictated for design engineers to understand what they done in accordance with too many suggestions and developments which are heavily argued in philosophy design as well as leading them be more familiar with standards design in the UK and abroad. Finally, too many design items revealed and discussed in details and difficult to challenge from other textbooks.
Therefore, I am highly recommending practical engineers to read this book.

A refreshingly practical book that explains process design the way it is in industry, no "sugar-coating" that has become the norm in academic settings. Academics may not appreciate it (because they don't know better), but I would highly recommend this book to any student or engineer who wishes to embrace the practicality of engineering. I am currently using this book as a basis for developing a university final year design course.

Great book and understandable even to undergraduates planning to pursue the same field of study. Informative and comprehensive.
