Smart process plants: software and hardware solutions for accurate data and profitable operations

An essential guide for process plant engineers--from an introductory tutorial to discussions of new and critical material, including data accuracy and error-free process Data reconciliation, gross error detection, and instrumentation upgrade are at the center of bias-free accurate estimates of process flowrates, temperatures, and process parameters. This book utilizes a less mathematically intimidating approach in order to educate process plant operation management as well as process engineers. Smart Process Plants covers introductory mathematical material and contains novel and critical information that is not available in other books. Software for data reconciliation practice will be available for download, and worked-out examples and exercises are included in the book.
