Industrial Process Plants by Ravi Nath Pdf

Removing the barriers to the Global Optimization of Plant Utility Systems by providing practical tools and techniques to deal with these unique challenges is the purpose of this book. The operating cost of a typical Plant Utility System of a typical Industrial Production Process Plant is enormous - often in tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars per Annum. With so much money at stake, one would expect that heroic optimization efforts would be made to reduce the operating cost, however such is usually not the case. One reason for this complacency is that Plant Utility Systems are usually "cost centers" in Process Plants and their operating cost is prorated amongst the various Production Units, so it suffers from what is at times referred to as "the tragedy of the commons". Another reason for this complacency is that the Plant Utility System structure is significantly different than that of other Production Units, as for flexibility and safety reasons it has a large spare capacity to meet increased utility demand during startups, shutdowns, and emergencies. The existence of a spare equipment necessitates optimization of discrete decisions, whereby traditional optimization techniques do not readily apply. Part of the problem is that the traditional engineering curriculum primarily emphasizes only one of the many optimization methods, called Non-Linear Programming (NLP). Although NLP can address large classes of optimization problems, it has fairly stringent requirements that all describing relationships (or functions) be continuous and have continuous derivatives. Additionally, in general, NLP only guarantees a local but not the global optimum. Another optimization method is particularly well suited for modeling Plant Utility Systems is called Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP). And unlike NLP, MILP methods can guarantee global optimum, which is very reassuring. MILP, however, does impose linearity requirements but as discussed in this book there are techniques to overcome this limitation.

Industrial Process Plant Construction Estimating and Man-Hour Analysis by Kenneth Storm Pdf

Industrial Process Plant Construction Estimating and Man-Hour Analysis focuses on industrial process plants and enables the estimator to apply statistical applications, estimate data tables, and estimate sheets to use methods for collecting, organizing, summarizing, presenting, and analyzing historical man-hour data. The book begins with an introduction devoted to labor, productivity measurement, collection of historical data, verification of data, estimating methods, and factors affecting construction labor productivity and impacts of data. It goes on to explore construction statistics and mathematical spreadsheets, followed by detailed scopes of work ranging from coal-fired power plants to oil refineries and solar plants, among others. Man-hour schedules based on historical data collected from past installations in industrial process plants are also included as well as a detailed glossary, Excel and mathematical formulas, area and volume formulas, metric/standard conversions, and boiler man-hour tables. Industrial Process Plant Construction Estimating and Man-Hour Analysis aids industrial project managers, estimators, and engineers with the level of detail and practical utility for today's industrial operations and is an ideal resource for those involved in engineering, technology, or construction estimation. Identify quantity differences with the comparison method and eliminate impacts between proposed and previously installed equipment Understand how to implement statistical and estimating methods, scopes of work, man-hour tables and estimate sheets to produce direct craft man-hour estimates, RFPs, and field change orders Set up and utilize Excel templates to automate statistical functions that will perform mathematical applications key to process plant construction

Life Cycle of a Process Plant by Mahdi Nouri,Eberhard Lucke Pdf

Life Cycle of a Process Plant focuses on workflows, work processes, and interfaces. It is an ideal reference book for engineers of all disciplines, technicians, and business people working in the upstream, midstream, and downstream fields. This book is tailored to the everyday work tasks of the process and project engineer/manager and relates regulations to actions engineers can take in the workplace via case studies. It covers oil, gas, chemical, petrochemical, and carbon capture industries. The content in this book will be interesting for any engineers (from all disciplines) and other project team members who understand the technical principles of their work, but who would like to have a better idea of where their contribution fits into the complete picture of the life cycle of a process plant. This book shows the basic principles and approaches of process plant lifecycle information management and how they can be applied to generate substantial cost and time savings. Thus, the readers with their own knowledge and experience in plant design and operations can adapt and implement them into their specific plant lifecycle applications. Authors bring their practical and hands-on industry expertise to this book Covers the entire workflow process of a process plant from project initiation and design through to the commissioning stage Cost estimations which relate to process plants are discussed Covers the program and project management in O&G industry
