Unlikely Victory
Many companies that stray too far from their core business fail. So how is it that General Electric, a major electrical manufacturing company, ended up as one of the top U.S. chemical producers—with 1998 sales of $6.6 billion? In Unlikely Victory, Jerome T. Coe, a retired 40-year career employee with General Electric, who spent more than 20 years as a manager of the company’s chemical businesses, suggests that it was a combination of necessity, forward-thinking of the engineers, and managers wise enough to give them breathing room. “Much of what they did (then) was counter to the prevailing GE culture,” he writes. “Today, it has become the corporate culture.” The book tells the w...
Basic Hazardous Waste Management
This third edition updates and expands the material presented in the best-selling first and second editions of Basic Hazardous Waste Management. It covers health and safety issues affecting hazardous waste workers, management and regulation of radioactive and biomedical/infectious wastes, as well as current trends in technologies. While the topics

Waste Minimization Through Process Design
This volume aims to give a comprehensive view of how to design a plant to meet the new environmentally clean standards. It will also help design professionals who must modify existing plants to meet new regulations. Contributions from industry and academia are included. The book offers insights for improving design procedures and enhancing plant designs to ensure that environmentally-friendly processes are developed. Technical case studies are included.
Planning, Scheduling, and Control Integration in the Process Industries
A guide to using computer systems to improve quality and productivity in the process industries, for engineers and managers. Explains the elements that make up an integrated production system, emphasizing planning using computer modeling and nonlinear programming, scheduling operations and inventories using systems for both batch and continuous processes, and controlling processes. Case studies from companies such as Ashland Petroleum, Monsanto, and Idemitsu Petrochemical Company illustrate how integrated systems work. Contains a glossary.

Forecasting and Time Series Analysis
This practical, user-oriented second edition describes how to use statistical modeling and analysis methods for forecasting and prediction problems. Statistical and mathematical terms are introduced only as they are needed, and every effort has been made to keep the mathematical and statistical prerequisites to a minimum. Every technique that is introduced is illustrated by fully worked numerical examples. Not only is the coverage of traditional forecasting methods greatly expanded in this new edition, but a number of new techniques and methods are covered as well.
Integrated Process Management
The author relies on real-world examples to illustrate a six-step plan to institutionalize process standards, measure performance against those standards, and manage performance to meet those standards. He also explains how to run the plan on a computer. The author describes how to make customer requirements the determinant factor not only at the product delivery stage, but at the critical processes at the source of product development. The book is aimed at quality control engineers, industrial engineers, and product managers.
TPM Implementation, a Japanese Approach
Reduce plant breakdowns to zero and increase productivity with this step-by-step guide to implementing TPM. Included are discussions of TPM for complete elimination of losses; the outline of TPM; the five countermeasures to TPM breakdown; and the seven steps of autonymous maintenance: initial cleaning, countermeasures to source of contamination and inaccessible area, cleaning and lubricating standards, overall inspection, autonomous inspection, process quality assurance, and autonomous maintenance in manual work. With 118 illustrations and an index.
Process Drying Practice
Using graphs, calculation models and step-by-step guidelines, the authors describe the important tools and techniques and explain how to use them to perform scale-ups and calculate exposure times, to test dryers and study the relationship between drying processes and dryer characteristics, to analyze psychometric charts, to utilize calculation methods for process drying any solvent in any gas, and to overcome complications in the start-up phase and troubleshoot the cause of low production in drying systems.
Pilot Plant Design, Construction, and Operation
Author Richard P. Palluzi gives a thorough introduction to pilot plant design, construction, and operation. Includes developing and defining a pilot plant program; general types of pilot plants; pilot plant economics; types of space suitable for pilot plant operations; pilot plant design considerations; pilot plant safety; control systems; instrumentation of special interest to pilot plants; start up; pilot plant maintenance; miscellaneous areas of concern; overall concerns with analytical instrumentation; and heat tracing, feed, and product handling. With 25 illustrations and an index.
