The GPSA Engineering Data Book was first published in 1935 as a booklet containing much advertising and little technical information. In subsequent editions, technical data expanded and the Data Book gradually became the design and operating "bible" for the gas processing and related industries. Approximately 260,000 copies of this authoritative publication have been distributed by GPSA. The book has been compiled by a joint editorial committee composed of technical specialists from both GPSA and GPA. This committee known as the GPSA Editorial Review Board continually reviews and revises the manual. Periodic revisions are issued to holders of record to keep the manual up to date with technology and industry practices.

Drawn from the author's forty years of field experience, the Industrial Gas Handbook: Gas Separation and Purification presents valuable information for practicing engineers in the field of industrial gas separation and purification. This book uses SI units in accordance with the international industry and covers such topics as chronological development, industrial applications, air separation technologies, noble gases, front end purification systems, insulation, non cryogenic separation, safety, cleaning for oxygen systems, economics, and product liquefaction, storage, and transportation. It also addresses machinery, equipment, instrumentation, and controls.

Process Engineering Economics (Chemical Industries) outlines the fundamental concepts and strategies for economic assessments for informed management decisions in industry. The book illustrates how to prepare capital cost and operating expense estimates, profitability analyses, and feasibility studies, and execute sensitivity and uncertainty assessments. From financial reports to opportunity costs and engineering trade-offs, Process Engineering Economics considers a wide range of alternatives for profitable investing and for projecting outcomes in various chemical and engineering fields and monitors costs, finances, and economic limitations at every stage of chemical project design, preparation, and evaluation.

Emulsions and Emulsion Stability provides comprehensive coverage of different aspects of emulsions from both theoretical and applied points of view. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and expanded, presenting fundamental concepts such as flocculation and coalescence as well as advanced concepts such as inversion in emulsion systems. It also covers such topics as experimental characterization, technical systems, acid crude oils, chemical flooding, video microscopy, and separation technology and includes examples of online instrumentation. This text is a valuable reference for scientists and researchers in the fields of surfactant and emulsion science.

Chemical Process Design and Integration deals in detail with the design and integration of chemical processes, emphasizing the conceptual issues. Chemical process design requires the selection of a series of processing steps and their integration to form a complete manufacturing system.

Handbook of Petroleum Analysis promotes a better understanding of the criteria affecting the quality of petroleum and petroleum products and is a valuable resource for chemists and engineers in the refining industry.

Presenting strategies in control policies, this text uses a systems theory approach to predict, simulate and streamline plant operation, conserve fuel and resources, and increase workplace safety in the manufacturing, chemical, petrochemical, petroleum, biochemical and energy industries. Topics of discussion include system theory and chemical/biochemical engineering systems, steady state, unsteady state, and thermodynamic equilibrium, modeling of systems, fundamental laws governing the processes in terms of the state variables, different classifications of physical models, the story of chemical engineering in relation to system theory and mathematical modeling, overall heat balance with single and multiple chemical reactions and single and multiple reactions.

Written by a recognized authority in the area of optimization software, this text offers an array of information on the latest advances in optimization techniques, explaining both theory and practice. Specializes in non-linear programming, mixed-integer programming, and global optimization. Ample references explore theoretical concepts in more detail.
