Summary
Summary
Based on the authors' collective 65 years of experience in the engineering construction industry, this profusely illustrated, comprehensive guidebook presents tried-and-true workable methods and rules of thumb for plant layout and piping design for the process industries. Content is organized and presented for quick-reference on-the-job or for systematic study of specific topics. KEY TOPICS: Presents general concepts and principles of plant layout -- from basic terminology and input requirements to deliverables; deals with specific pieces of equipment and their most efficient layout in the overall plant design configuration; addresses the plant layout requirements for the most common process unit equipment; covers piping requirements for the entire plant as well as all equipment types; and considers the computerized tools that are now available to help plant layout and piping designers. Features more than 640 illustrations of equipment, piping and other components of processing facility -- and their configurations. MARKETS: For mechanical and chemical engineers working for engineering construction as well as process manufacturing companies with responsibility for plant layout, piping, and construction; and for engineering students.

Choice Review
Bausbacher and Hunt present more than 640 drawings that show the layout and proper arrangement of process plant equipment, primarily applicable to the chemical and petrochemical industry. The authors have drawn on a collective 70 years of personal experience in this field, about which they must be considered experts. The book is qualitative, in that the principles stressed are common sense, logic, and experience rather than scientific principles and engineering calculations. The work is best suited for students in vocational technical programs and draftsmen concerned with process equipment and piping layout. Community college; pre-professional; professional. R.
