Description
The subject of Metallurgical Plant Design is the design of metallurgical plant facilities in the broadest sense. Plant design represents the culmination of many multidisciplinary activities: knowledge of process metallurgy is applied to design facilities to manufacture useful, economical, metal-based products. In the field of metallurgy, plant design is often overlooked, and its unique requirements are commonly not well understood, let alone appreciated. This book is a contribution to remedying this situation. The focus is the specifics of the metals industries, because an extensive literature already exists on the general topic of plant design.
While a great deal of literature on project and construction management exists, as do many reference books on the fundamentals of metallurgy and engineering principles, very little information is available on the design process, which translates these fundamentals into the design of a properly functioning metallurgical facility. This book fills the information gap.
To develop it, we assembled a team of specialists from across the globe who have worked in the projects environment for most of their careers. We anticipate that design teams who follow the approach outlined in Metallurgical Plant Design – and do their homework – will enjoy successful projects. Who should read this book? Metallurgical Plant Design will interest anybody involved in the development and implementation of metallurgical plants, including owners, financiers, design engineers, process engineers, researchers, construction managers and project managers.
