Handbook of Process Integration (PI): Minimisation of Energy and Water Use, Waste and Emissions

Process integration (PI) is a modern methodology that reduces the consumption of energy and raw materials in the processing and power-generating industries. At the same time, levels of emissions and effluents decrease considerably. This book provides comprehensive and systematic coverage of the development and application of process integration techniques across a wide range of industries. Opening chapters provide an overview of process integration and analysis. Chapters then address heat integration, mass and water integration, extended process integration and close with case studies illustrating applications in various industries.
