Geared to young and seasoned professionals alike, "Process Lessons Learned in a Nontechnical Language" is designed to present a straightforward approach to mastering the principles and concepts all process engineers should be able to apply without the need of a computer. While simulations and models are useful for examining long-term operational issues, they cannot replace the dimension of human logic and reason required when tackling the array of complex—and sometimes life threatening— situations that occur in process plants. Using the author’s experiences from over 58 years in the process industry, Process Lessons Learned in a Nontechnical Language provides approaches to understanding core process concepts in ways that will equip the engineer to walk out of an office into a plant and directly resolve process deficiencies via small operational changes or simple retrofits.
Very insightful. I read Chapters 9 to 23 as they would be relevant to me. I will remember this book for the future and probably use it at some point. Shall look at Norm's other books, these are perfect for an operations/ maintenance perspective
