THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE OF PLANT FACILITES
– EXPANDED AND UPDATED!
Here is the best single guide to efficient, cost-effective plant engineering-from
construction to internal operation, maintenance, and management of the plant facility.
With contributions from more than 70 well-known leaders in their specialties, this new
edition of Standard Handbook of Plant Engineering offers you the cutting-edge information
you need to keep your plant operating at peak efficiency-and profitability. You’ll find
expert, detailed information on the basic plant facility, plant operation, equipment
repair and replacement, and much more.
Packed with tables, formulas, charts, graphs, and checklists, the Third Edition has
been updated to now include:
* In-depth coverage of the latest technological advances, particularly computer programs
* Expanded coverage of codes and standards? The use of both SI and metric units
Covering virtually every aspect of modern plant engineering, this reference will prove
