For piping engineers and designers, this volume serves as an intermediate-level handbook on the guidelines and procedures for process plants and interconnecting piping systems in a petrochemical or oil and gas processing facility. The second in a two-volume series, it follows Smith's book The Fundamentals of Piping Design (2007) and integrates those concepts with information on the necessary process equipment required for plant layout, types, functions, applicable international codes, piping support and stress issues, safety and accessibility, operation and maintenance influences, and safety precautions. Best practices for the design of cooling towers, pipeways, and relief systems are included. Botermans works at a software development company that creates mechanical engineering applications for the process industry. Smith is an independent consultant with experience in the onshore and offshore sectors of the oil and gas industry. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Advanced Piping Design is an intermediate-level handbook covering guidelines and procedures on process plants and interconnecting piping systems. As a follow up with Smith’s best-selling work published in 2007 by Gulf Publishing Company,The Fundamentals of Piping Design, this handbook contributes more customized information on the necessary process equipment required for a suitable plant layout, such as pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, tanks, cooling towers and more! While integrating equipment with all critical design considerations, these two volumes together are must-haves for any engineer continuing to learn about piping design and process equipment.
