MOBLEY, R. K. (2003). Plant Engineering Handbook.pdf

Preface

The preparation of an international reference book such

as this could not possibly be achieved without the total

cooperation of so many individual authors and the back-

ing of their various employers, especially where company

contributions have been made, bringing together a wealth

of professional knowledge and expertise.

An acknowledgement such as this can only scratch the

surface and cannot really portray the grateful thanks I

wish to express to all these people concerned that have

devoted so much time and effort to place their ideas and

contributions to this Plant Engineering Handbook .

Plant engineering is such a broad subject incorporating

a multitude of disciplines and a wide variety of solutions

to virtually every problem or situation, unlike some sub-

jects that have clear-cut methods.

In compiling the initial suggested guidelines for each

of the contributions, I posed the questions to myself what

information and assistance had I found difﬁcult to locate

during over 30 years as a plant engineer responsible for

plants throughout the world and how could it be best pre-

sented to assist others in their profession.

I would therefore like to take this opportunity to thank

each of the contributing authors for their patience and

assistance in helping me to structure this publication.
