The principal goal of this textbook is to prepare process/chemical engineers for careers in a wide variety of process-related jobs. The book will also serve as reference resource for engineers working in the process and process design industries. The book assumes prerequisite knowledge of material and energy balances, heat transfer, fluid flow, and mass transfer but does not require any prerequisite knowledge of economics, process control, process safety, or material selection. It is uniquely organized to follow the project life cycle that is most commonly used by engineering contractors and the operating companies they serve in the process industries.• Covers both retrofit and new process projects.• Includes a set of easy to use, step-by-step preliminary equipment sizing methods.• Offers realistic rules of thumb for equipment sizing and pressure profiles.• Discusses professional development topics such as time management, planning and scheduling, working in teams, leadership, conflict resolution, technical writing, effective meetings, and oral communications.• Addresses safety and sustainability considerations for process design.• Includes a unified suite of cost estimating methods for simple retrofits, major retrofits, and grassroots projects.• Covers process/project economics and how to evaluate process opportunities• Includes information on plant layout, auxiliary systems, and process automation.• Features homework problems and examples, case study example reports, vision drawing image templates, and Excel workbooks with example calculations for economic analysis.This textbook is aimed at advanced undergraduate students in Chemical Engineering studying process plant design and economics and as a handbook for practicing process and process project engineers.A solutions manual and lecture slides are available to qualifying adopting instructors. Supplemental appendices (examples of a budget brief, scoping study report, partial conceptual design report, and assumptions list) are available for download on the book's webpage.

In 1992, he was assigned as project manager for plant automation systems, for the Ras Tanura Upgrade and Expansion project, one of the largest process control-related projects in the world. In 1995, Seames returned to Arizona where he earned his doctorate in Chemical Engineering in July 2000. He has planned and managed over 100 research projects during his academic career.Amongst his teaching-related academic awards are: the 2018 UND Foundation/Lydia and Arthur Saiki Faculty Award for Individual Excellence in Teaching, the 2013 UND Faculty Scholar Award for Excellence in Scholarship, Teaching, and Service; the 2012 UND Faculty Spirit of Achievement Award; the 2011 UND Chester Fritz Distinguished Professor for sustained excellence as a tenured faculty member; and the 2006 "Professor of the Year" award from UND School of Engineering and Mines. He was elected a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors in 2017 and is a named inventor on eight U.S. patents. Among his many research refereed publications are five documenting preliminary design and economic analyses of novel and emerging process technologies.
