Summary:

Process Technology provides a general overview about chemical and biochemical process technology. It focuses on the structure and development of production processes, main technological operations and the important aspects of process economics. The theoretical foundations in each chapter are supplemented by case studies and examples in a clear and instructive manner to illustrate the practical aspects.The author highlights operating principles, reasons for application and available industrial equipment of technological operations. Aim is to facilitate those without a process technology background in multi-disciplinary cooperation with (bio-) chemical engineers by providing an overview of this exciting field.The textbook is organized into seven distinct parts:Structure of the chemical industry and (bio-) chemical processes(Bio-) Chemical reaction engineeringMolecular separations (distillation, extraction, absorption, adsorption)Mechanical separations (filtration, sedimentation, membranes)Particle and final product manufacturingDevelopment, scale-up, design and safety of processesMajor industrial process descriptions
