• Sommario/riassunto: A professional reference that shows how mass integration techniques are used to maximise efficiency and sustainability and minimize the pollution of process systems and plants. Plant and unit operations professionals will save time and money by using the detailed tools and applications as part of their understanding of systematic process development. More generally it will be an important resource for those working with what commonly referred to as P2 (Pollution Prevention) technology.In addition to practitioners developing new systems and, more commonly, retrofitting old systems, the
