INDUSTRIAL GAS HANDBOOK - GAS SEPARATION AND PURIFICATION

Drawing on Frank G. Kerry’s more than 60 years of experience as a practicing engineer, the Industrial Gas Handbook: Gas Separation and Purification provides from-the-trenches advice that helps practicing engineers master and advance in the field. Itoffers detailed discussions and up-to-date approaches to process cycles for cryogenic separation of air, adsorption processes for front-end air purification, and related process control and instrumentation.
The book uses SI units in accordance with international industry and covers topics such as chronological development, industrial applications, air separation technologies, noble gases, front end purification systems, insulation, non-cryogenic separation, safety, cleaning for oxygen systems, economics, and product liquefaction, storage, and transportation. No other book currently available takes the practical approach of this book they are either outdated, too theoretical, or narrow in focus. In a clear and effective presentation, Industrial Gas Handbook: Gas Separation and Purification covers the principles and applications of industrial gas separation and purification. Covers the nuts and bolts of cryogenic plants, particularly cryogenic distillation, Illustrates the role of purification processes for non-petroleum-based fuel and energy, Includes an economic overview of the field and business terminology engineers will need throughout their career, Provides guidance on how to choose the correct cleaning procedure to fit existing conditions , Discusses the importance of safety and prevention of accidents, Explores general requirements of instrumentation and controls and control systems philosophy
