Handbook of Process Integration (PI): Minimisation of Energy and Water Use, Waste and Emissions, Second Edition provides an up-to-date guide on the latest PI research and applications. Since the first edition published, methodologies and sustainability targets have developed considerably. Each chapter has been fully updated, with six new chapters added in this release, covering emissions, transport, water scarcity, reliability and maintenance, environmental impact and circular economy. This version also now includes worked examples and simulations to deepen the reader's understanding. With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, this book is an important reference work for managers and researchers in all energy and sustainability industries, as well as academics and students in Energy, Chemical, Process, and Environmental Engineering. Provides a fully updated handbook with six new chapters that reflect the latest research and applications on process integration Reviews a wide range of process design and integration topics, ranging from heat and utility systems to water, recycling, waste and hydrogen systems Covers equipment design and operability issues, with a strong extension to environmental engineering and suitability issues

Since its first development in the 1970s, Process Integration (PI) has become an important methodology in achieving more energy efficient processes. This pioneering handbook brings together the leading scientists and researchers currently contributing to PI development, pooling their expertise and specialist knowledge to provide readers with a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the latest PI research and applications.After an introduction to the principles of PI, the book reviews a wide range of process design and integration topics ranging from heat and utility systems to water, recycling, waste and hydrogen systems. The book considers Heat Integration, Mass Integration and Extended PI as well as a series of applications and case studies. Chapters address not just operating and capital costs but also equipment design and operability issues, through to buildings and supply chains.With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, Handbook of Process Integration (PI) is a standard reference work for managers and researchers in all energy-intensive industries, as well as academics with an interest in them, including those designing and managing oil refineries, petrochemical and power plants, as well as paper/pulp, steel, waste, food and drink processors.This pioneering handbook provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the latest process integration research and applicationsReviews a wide range of process design and integration topics ranging from heat and utility systems to water, recycling, waste and hydrogen systemsChapters also address equipment design and operability issues, through to buildings and supply chains
