Product Description
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. 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.

 Great reference August 11, 2007
Things only experience or this book can provide. The lessons provided are basics of Plant Layout and Design.
Glad I have a "legal" copy now ...
 Good comprehensive read, easy to get to grips with November 30, 2006

At first glance this book seems impressive - good illustrations, easy to read and seemingly well organised. The book only gets better the more times you use it too. If you are going to try 3D Plant Design then you would be wise to use this book as well as a program such as the 3D Pipe Fittings one available from Hercule Design.
If you are going to use a pre-developed library of parts then it is worth buying but otherwise be warned that 3D drafting of pipe systems will be time consuming.
 Good basic but needs an update urgently August 30, 2006

First some positive news : this book certainly gives an overview of the problems a process plant engineer will have to face. Many practical examples are given, and after some general introduction there are separate chapters per typical equipment (e.g. pumps, heat exchangers, etc.). It is also positive the non-american majority of the world is not forgotten : there are metric dimensions on the figures.
However there are also some setbacks : the book can't hide it is OLD. All figures are hand-drawn, CAD was clearly still science fiction on the moment this book was published. This definitely gives it an outdated feeling - I guess though the content is still accurate.
Second settback : the size. It's far too big and clumsy, without good reason. Really not something you put in your drawer for a quick loop-up.
Finally : I find it a good general starting point but had hoped it would be somewhat less shalow. After a first reading I don't think I'll have to keep it on hand for looking up.

This book bridges the gap between College and the work environment. After reading the first two chapters I felt as if I am ready to go out and manage the construction of a Refinery. That is the kind of confidence this book instills in you. Can you imagine how I would feel upon completing this book? I can't wait.
