Читать книгу Profit Maximization Techniques for Operating Chemical Plants - Sandip K. Lahiri - Страница 30

However, there are no dedicated effective books available to discuss a basic roadmap to utilize various intelligent tools and techniques, provide practical methods to implement them on the shop floor, and explain industrial application procedures.

This book has been written to fill this gap with the following people in mind: practicing process or chemical engineers, production engineers, supervisors, and senior technicians working in chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceuticals, paper and pulp, oil and gas companies and petroleum refineries across the globe. This book will also become particularly useful for large numbers of managers, general managers, top level senior executives, and senior technical service consultants whose main jobs include strategic planning and implementation of various optimization projects to increase profit in chemical process industries. Undergraduate and postgraduate chemical engineering students and business students who want to pursue careers in the chemical field will also greatly benefit from this book. The book is aimed at providing various intelligent computational tools to engineers and managers working in CPI who face challenges and are looking for new ways to increase profit in running chemical plants. This book aims to convey concepts, theories, and methods in a straightforward and practical manner.

This book provides engineers with all practical aspects of profit maximization projects, as well as practical advice on how to derive maximum benefits from running plants.

The book will present various intelligent computation techniques covering profit optimization strategy, application methodology, supporting structures, and assessment methods. In short, it will describe completely new ways and techniques to maximize profit for process plants and how to sustain profit improvement benefits.

Short on background theory and long on step‐by‐step application procedures, it covers everything plant process engineers and technical managers need to know about identifying, building, deploying, and managing profit improvement applications in their companies. Readers are able to take away new ways to increase profit in their current plant, background computational tools and techniques for identifying profit improvement opportunities, and analysis, optimization, and monitoring procedures that are required to identify, assess, implement, and sustain profit improvement opportunities.
