Newly released textbook on Sustainable Process Design



Title: Sustainable Design through Process Integration: Fundamentals

and Applications to Industrial Pollution Prevention, Resource

Conservation, and Profitability Enhancement

Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann/Elsevier



Author: Mahmoud M. El-Halwagi



This book covers the fundamental concepts and practical techniques on

the use of process integration to maximize the efficiency and

sustainability of industrial processes. Whether you are a process

engineer, an industrial decision maker, or a researcher, this book

will be an indispensable resource tool for systematically enhancing

process performance and developing novel and sustainable process

designs. The book is also ideal for use as a text in an upper level

undergraduate or an introductory graduate course on process design and

sustainability.

Key features:

• Allows the reader to methodically develop rigorous targets that

benchmark the performance of industrial processes then develop

cost-effective implementations.

• Contains state-of-the-art process integration approaches and

applications including graphical, algebraic, and mathematical

techniques

• Covers applications that include process economics, targeting for

conservation of mass and energy, synthesis of innovative processes,

retrofitting of existing systems, design and assessment of renewable

energy systems, and in-process pollution prevention.

• Presents fundamentals and step-by-step procedures that can be

applied to the design and optimization of new processes as well the

retrofitting and operation of existing processes

• Explains how pivotal sustainability issues can holistically and

methodically be addressed and reconciled

• Includes numerous examples and case studies on a broad array of

industrial processes and sustainable designs
