Excellent overview of process equipment, for everyone November 24, 2008
I was refered to this book after reading a few chapters of his "Troubleshooting Process Operations" book, and it is excellent. He writes it for people working in the industry, for people who might work in the industry, and people who just want to know how things work.

His sense of humor is on par with mine, as well as many of my fellow chemical engineers... so if you've spent any time working or dealing with engineers at all, his way of thinking and sense of humor will be well received.

Anyways, his examples are pretty much all personal experience, and he does a good job of giving you the "basic" math governing many processes. His intent is not to give design equations, and he is VERY careful to make sure the reader is aware that they are NOT to be used to design equipment.

He speaks, in my opinion, from a contractors point of view and is at times very critical of operating companies, management, other engineers, and SOME operators (he also rightfully gives MUCH praise to experienced veteran operators), so, if you work for an operating company, you might be a TAD offended, but, you'll live.

Buy the book, well worth it.

Great for students/interns and young process engineers! July 18, 2003
10 out of 10 found this review helpful

I'm a summer intern in an oil refinery and few of my tasks were to rerate exchangers, fin fan coolers, etc., and I didn't have any experience whatsoever! They don't teach at school how this equipment works in a process context and if you don't have a clue on what you're doing, this is the best book to refer to. It is very elementary, but at the same time, it can be very specific. It goes through fundamental steps for troubleshooting general processes as well as clear explanations of how most of the equipment in the industry work. Highly recommended at any level!
