Starting with the quantitative treatment and fundamentals of chemical engineering, it combines all aspects of process development and reactor technology, as well as detailing their practical applications in sections devoted to plant design, scale-up and plant safety. Each of the detailed and carefully edited articles is written by relevant experts from industry or academia. Simple navigation within and across the topics is guaranteed by subject and author indices, while top-quality illustrations, clear diagrams and charts - combined with an extensive use of tables - enhance the presentation and provide a unique level of detail.

Readers benefit from the rigorous and cross-indexed nature of the parent reference, and will find both broad introductory information as well as in-depth details of significance to industrial and academic environments.
