Batch Processing: Modeling and Design

by Urmila Diwekar

Overview

Batch processes are widely used in pharmaceutical, food, and specialty chemicals where high value, low volume products are manufactured. Designing these processes and unit operations can be an onerous task that requires computational efforts. With examples, case studies, and more than 100 homework problems, this book presents an overview of computer-aided design packages and describes the unit operations in batch and bioprocessing. Providing students with a thorough grounding in the numerical methods necessary to solve design problems, it discusses the basics of design, modeling, and optimization. Figure slides are available upon qualifying course adoption.

Editorial Reviews

"…is very timely as there are only very few texts dealing with the subject in a unified manner. The book provides a good overview of batch reaction and separation processes. In particular there is a comprehensive treatment of batch separation processes that extents over nine chapters."
––Dominique Bonvin, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland

"The selection of topics is quite comprehensive… a comprehensive coverage of batch processing. A book dedicated to this topic could become a 'standard text'."
––Richard Turton, West Virginia University, Morgantown

"My impression is that many students and practitioners will find this book to be very helpful – especially those that have little experience in modeling and optimizing batch processes. To these people, the coverage in specific separation areas is likely to be attractive – depending on its comprehensiveness."
—Warren D. Seider, University of Pennsylvania
