Informationen zum Autor Eur Ing Dr Seán Moran CEng is a practising chemical engineer with over thirty years of experience in process design, commissioning, and troubleshooting. He started his career with international process engineering contractors before setting up his own consultancy in 1996, specializing in process and hydraulic design for water, sewage and industrial effluent treatment plants. Sean spent several years in academia, where he held positions including a Royal Academy of Engineering Visiting Professorship, and is a strong advocate for the overhaul of traditional university chemical engineering curricula. He is the author of three textbooks and many articles on process plant design and layout, and has an international portfolio of design and forensic engineering projects.

Report
"Sean has done an incredible job of rewriting/updating the original text and figures to reflect current plant layout and piping design practices and methodologies. It's an extremely comprehensive book that ranks as one of the best on the subject that I've ever seen, and is sure to become a classic in its own right." --Richard Beale, author of The Planning Guide to Piping Design
