To achieve environmental sustainability in industrial plants, resource conservation activities such as material recovery have begun incorporating process integration techniques for reusing and recycling water, utility gases, solvents, and solid waste. Process Integration for Resource Conservation presents state-of-the-art, cost-effective techniques, including pinch analysis and mathematical optimization, for numerous conservation problems. The second edition of this best-seller adds new chapters on heat integration and retrofitting of resource conservation networks and features multiple optimization examples via downloadable MS Excel spreadsheets.

• Emphasizes the goal of setting performance targets ahead of detailed design following the holistic philosophy of process integration
• Explains various industrial examples step by step and offers demo software and other materials online
• Features a wealth of industrial case studies
• Adds chapters on heat integration, combined heat and power, heat-integrated water network, and retrofit of resource conservation network
• Adds new optimization examples and downloadable MS Excel files on superstructural approaches and automated targeting models for direct reuse, recycle and regeneration

Ideal for students preparing for real-world work as well as industrial practitioners in chemical processing, the text provides a systematic guide to the latest process integration techniques for performing material recovery in process plants. The book features a solutions manual, lecture slides, and figure slides for adopting professors to use in their courses.
