This book provides a comprehensive introduction to chemical process engineering, linking the fundamental theory and concepts to the industrial day-to-day practice. This 2nd Edition contains all-new chapters on mechanical and bioprocess engineering. It enables the reader to integrate fundamental knowledge of the basic disciplines, to understand key chemical processes, and to apply this knowledge to the practice in industry.
Michael Kleiber started his career as a scientific assistant at the TU Brunswick, where he completed his doctoral thesis in 1994. He has worked for the former Hoechst AG and its successors in the fields of process development, process simulation and engineering calculations, before moving to Thyssen Krupp Uhde as a Chief Development Engineer. Dr. Kleiber is a member of the German Board of Thermodynamics and contributor to several standard works on process engineering, such as the VDI Heat Atlas, Winnacker-Küchler and Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry.
