This book addresses the specialized topic of input–output models for sustainable industrial systems. While these models are well-established tools for economic analysis, their underlying mathematical structure is also applicable to the analysis and optimization of a wide range of systems that are characterized by linear interdependencies among their components. This means that input–output models can be used for diverse networks, such as processes within industrial plants, industrial plants in a supply chain, or departmental units within an organization. The models can also be readily extended to interactions between man-made systems and the environment, e.g. flows of natural resources and/or pollutants. Furthermore, model variants with excess degrees of freedom can be formulated to allow optimization and decision-making to be integrated within the framework. This book examines how input–output models can be applied to sustainable industrial systems. Each major variant is discussed separately in a dedicated chapter, and representative case studies and supporting LINGO code are also included.

Das Buch ist eine praktische Handlungsanleitung für jeden, der an der Planung, Montage und Inbetriebnahme von Anlagen mitwirkt. Zahlreiche Workflows, Checklisten, Templates und Beispiele weisen den Weg zur erfolgreichen Inbetriebnahme und Kosteneinsparung. Die Kosten der Inbetriebnahme von Neuanlagen sind mit 8 bis 15 % der Investitionssumme erheblich; gravierende Einsparpotentiale werden häufig nicht genutzt. Die Inbetriebnahme ist für alle Beteiligten die „Stunde der Wahrheit“ und mit vielen Unwägbarkeiten verbunden. Sie beinhaltet u.a. den Leistungsnachweis und die rechtsverbindliche Abnahme der Anlage sowie der AS BUILT-Dokumentation. Die 5. Auflage ist eine vollständige Überarbeitung, Aktualisierung und wesentliche Erweiterung. Dies betrifft insbesondere - die Umsetzung neuer Rechtsvorschriften, - die Spezifikation der Reinheit und die systematische Reinigung der Anlage, - die Beschreibung effizienter spezifischer Organisationsstrukturen, - die GMP-konforme Vorgehensweise in Pharmaanlagen, - die Darstellung neuer Praxisbeispiele, Workflows und Checklisten. Insgesamt wurden der Textumfang und die Anzahl an Abbildungen, Tabellen, Checklisten und Praxisbeispielen deutlich erweitert. Das Buch ist in einer Reihe mit den bewährten Praxishandbüchern des Autors über „Engineering bzw. Dokumentation verfahrenstechnischer Anlagen“ zu sehen. Der Autor Dr.-Ing. habil. Klaus H. Weber war viele Jahre in der Chemie-, Pharma-, Raffinerie-, sowie Öl- und Gasindustrie mit der Planung, Errichtung und Inbetriebnahme verfahrenstechnischer Anlagen beschäftigt. Er hat an zahlreichen Projekten im In- und Ausland, vom Engineering bis zur Inbetriebnahme inkl. AS BUILT-Dokumentation, verantwortlich mitgewirkt. Seit ca. 25 Jahren ist er freiberuflich als unabhängiger Berater, Gutachter und Auditor auf den Gebieten der Vertragsgestaltung und Abwicklung von Anlagenprojekten einschließlich zugehöriger Engineering-, Dokumentations- und Inbetriebnahmeleistungen tätig. Als Autor hat er im Springer-Verlag die drei bewährten Praxishandbücher „Engineering/Inbetriebnahme/Dokumentation verfahrenstechnischer Anlagen“ veröffentlicht. Ferner ist er seit vielen Jahren Referent zahlreicher VDI- und Inhouse-Seminare.

This SpringerBrief critically examines the latest experimental and non-experimental approaches used for the fast and reliable characterization and determination of CO2-reservoir oil miscibility in terms of the minimum miscibility pressure (MMP). This book serves as a one-stop source for developing an enhanced understanding of these available methods, and specifically documents, analyses, and evaluates their suitability and robustness for depicting and characterizing the phenomenon of CO2-reservoir oil miscibility in a fast and cost-effective manner. Such information can greatly assist a project team in selecting an appropriate MMP determination method as per the project’s need at a given project’s stage, be that screening, design, or implementation. CO2-Reservoir Oil Miscibility: Experiential and Non-Experimental Characterization and Determination Approaches will be of interest to petroleum science and engineering professionals, researchers, and undergraduate and graduate students engaged in CO2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and/or simultaneous CO2-EOR and storage projects and related research. It may also be of interest to engineering and management professionals within the petroleum industry who have responsibility for implementing CO2-EOR projects.

This book introduces a new and powerful approach based on rigorous process simulations conducted with professional simulators like HYSYS to predict the performance of supersonic separators (SS). The book addresses the utilization of SSs for the offshore processing of CO2-rich natural gas as an alternative to Joule-Thomson expansion, glycol absorption, membrane permeation and chemical absorption. It describes and analyzes the conventional offshore processing of CO2-rich natural gas, discussing the advantages of SS in terms of cost and power consumption. The book offers a comprehensive framework for modeling SS units, describing the physical principles of SS in detail. The thermodynamic multiphase sound speed is also discussed at the light shed by a classical analysis based on the Landau Model of phase transitions. A complete framework is presented for modelling and simulating SS units within HYSYS environment. A special chapter is dedicated to the performance of SSs for removing CO2 from CO2-rich natural gas, taking into account the limitations of CO2 freeze-out in various scenarios of gas feed in terms of CO2 content, pressure and temperature.

This book offers a comprehensive review on biomass resources, examples of biorefineries and corresponding products. The first part of this book covers topics such as different biorefinery resources from agriculture, wood processing residues and transport logistics of plant biomass. In the second part, expert contributors present biorefinery concepts of different biomass feedstocks, including vegetable-oils, sugarcane, starch, lignocellulose and microalgae. Readers will find here a summary of the syngas utilization and the bio-oil characterization and potential use as an alternative renewable fuel and source for chemical feedstocks. Particular attention is also given to the anaerobic digestion-based and Organosolv biorefineries. The last part of the book examines relevant products and components such as alcohols, hydrocarbons, bioplastics and lignin, and offers a sustainability evaluation of biorefineries.
