Description
This Chemical Engineering guidebook contains dozens of practical, how-to engineering articles originally published in Chemical Engineering, along with useful guide sheets. The tutorial-style articles provide detailed guidance for the selection, installation, operation, and troubleshooting of control valves, which are ubiquitous throughout the chemical process industries.
Several articles focus on pressure-relief valves, including device selection, installation, and overall system design and management. Additional topics include materials selection, safe operation at ultra-low temperatures, optimization of valves in pneumatic conveying systems, rational pipeline design, and more.
