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.
