Chemical engineers are a vital part of the creation of any process development—lab-scale and pilot-scale—for any plant. In fact, they are the lynchpin of later efforts to scale-up and full-scale plant process improvement. As these engineers approach a new project, there are three generally recognized methodologies that are applicable in industry generally: Design of Experiments (DOE), Evolutionary Operations (EVOP), and Data Mining Using Neural Networks (DM).
In Full Scale Plant Optimization in Chemical Engineering, experienced chemical engineer Živorad R. Laziċ offers an in-depth analysis and comparison of these three methods in full-scale plant optimization applications. The book is designed to provide the basic principles and necessary information for complete understanding of these three methods (DOE, EVOP, and DM). The application of each method is fully described.
About the Author Živorad R. Laziċ is the author of “Design of Experiments in Chemical Engineering: A Practical Guide”, published by J. Wiley in January 2004. He has produced a unique, “how to do it”, a practical guide for the statistical design of experiments. It is the ideal book for the industrial scientist or engineer who wants to take an advantage of DOE techniques without becoming a statistician. Basic statistical ideas are presented clearly and simply with numerous examples. This is one of the few books that are practically suited for self-study by a busy technologist, engineers and scientists. He is a Certified Six-Sigma Black Belt professional with interests in advanced statistical tools, Design of Experiments(DOE), Statistical Process Control(SPC), Evolutionary Operation(EVOP) and process modeling via application of neural networks.
