This book is intended to assist people who design and build process
plant, and people who participate in multi-disciplinary engineering
projects in general. The book is aimed in particular at the project engineer,
or team of lead engineers, who inevitably hold such projects together,
being at the heart of the information generation system which shapes
and guides the project.
The design and construction of process plant covers an exceedingly
wide field of performance and knowledge. Considering engineering
topics alone, those which impact process plant design include the work
of very many specialist technical branches. But this is only part of what
has to be considered in successful project engineering. Interwoven with
the engineering and design of the plant are many commercial, constructional,
financial, and social considerations. It may be satisfying for the
technical purist to focus exclusively on engineering issues, but the
engineer who does so is likely either to be limited to a subordinate role,
or to be part of an unsuccessful enterprise – engineering considered on
its own becomes an academic pastime.
