Description
Nowhere is proper cost estimation and project management more important than in startups, revamps, and turnaround projects that happen every day throughout the global chemical process industries (CPI).
The articles in this Chemical Engineering Guidebook provide actionable strategies and insights for carrying out budgeting exercises and implementing proven project-management strategies.
Several articles are devoted explicitly to carrying out revamps and startups in ways that optimize operations and reduce costs. Other articles discuss—and share tips related to—how to carry out feasibility studies, proper budgeting, and benchmarking (to compare the operations in question against those of others). Topics focus on supporting employees during complex engineering projects and managing environmental considerations.
