Pyrolysis of Biomass for Fuels and Chemicals
by Akwasi Boateng
This book provides a thorough overview of the thermochemical conversion of biomass to fuels and chemicals via the pyrolysis platform. The book covers the principles underlying the pyrolysis of biomass from the chemical engineering perspective. It discusses thermal-only pyrolysis, the traditional pyrolysis process under an inert atmosphere with no catalyst, and the role of catalytic pyrolysis and tail gas reactive pyrolysis in resolving the instability issues associated with product distribution. The addresses condensed phase upgrading where the oil produced can be upgraded for stability or hydrogenated to drop-in transportation fuels, as well as feedstock selection, including opportunity fuels/feedstocks.

Data-Centric Safety: Challenges, Approaches, and Incident Investigation
by Alastair Faulkner and Mark Nicholson
This book presents the core concepts and principles of system safety management and then guides the reader through the application of these techniques and measures to Data-Centric Systems (DCS). The authors have compiled their decades of experience in industry and academia to guide the management of safety risk. Data Safety has become increasingly important as many solutions depend on data for their correct and safe operation and assurance. The book’s content covers the definition and use of data. It recognizes that data is frequently used as the basis of operational decisions and that DCS is often used to reduce user oversight.
Process Equipment and Plant Design: Principles and Practices
by Subhabrata Ray and Gargi Das
This book takes a holistic approach towards process design in the chemical engineering industry, dealing with the design of individual process equipment and its configuration as a complete functional system. Chapters cover typical heat and mass transfer systems and equipment included in a chemical engineering curriculum, such as heat exchangers, heat exchanger networks, evaporators, distillation, absorption, adsorption, reactors, and more. The authors expand on additional topics such as industrial cooling systems, extraction, and topics on process utilities, piping, and hydraulics, including instrumentation and safety basics that supplement the equipment design procedure and help to arrive at a complete plant design.
