Ludwig’s Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants Incorporating Process Safety Incidents, Volumes 1A & 1B, 5th Edition By A. Kayode Coker Published by Elsevier Dear Esteemed Readers, It is with great pleasure and gratitude that I announce the publication of Ludwig’s Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants Incorporating Process Safety Incidents, Volumes 1A and 1B, 5th edition, by Elsevier. This project, which spanned nearly four years, has been a labor of dedication and perseverance. I extend my deepest gratitude to the Creator for enabling the completion of this significant work. These volumes are dedicated to the memory of those who lost their lives in petroleum refining and petrochemical facilities, as well as those affected by industrial disasters such as the Bhopal accident in India, Piper Alpha in the U.K., and the BP Texas City refinery in the USA. Key Enhancements in the Fifth Edition: 1.   Integration of Process Safety: o  For the first time, the volumes incorporate detailed case studies of process safety incidents, analyzing root causes and offering recommendations from the US Chemical Safety & Hazard Investigation Board (CSB). This new focus on safety is essential for preventing future incidents and ensuring the well-being of industry personnel. 2.  Comprehensive Content: o  Volume 1A (Chapters 1-6) and Volume 1B (Chapters 7-12) cover a broad range of topics crucial for process design. The chapters are updated to reflect the latest advancements and best practices, ensuring relevance and applicability in today’s industry. 3.  Advanced Design Techniques: o  The volumes provide improved techniques and fundamental design methodologies, guiding engineers in designing process equipment and applying chemical processes to detailed hardware. The emphasis is on achieving optimal operational conditions and preventing issues caused by inadequate sizing or design. 4.  Practical Applications: o  A blend of fundamental theories and practical applications is presented, equipping engineers with the knowledge needed for effective troubleshooting and system performance analysis. This practical approach bridges the gap between theory and real-world application. o 5.  Extensive Appendices and Resources: o  The volumes include appendices, over 40 process data sheets (also available in Excel format), a glossary of petroleum and chemical terminologies, and physical and chemical characteristics of major hydrocarbons. Additionally, conversion table software, Honeywell UniSim Design software, and Microsoft Excel programs are provided to enhance practical utility. These volumes remain true to the legacy of Ernest E. Ludwig’s original work, continuing to serve as a vital resource for chemical/process engineers. We hope these volumes will be a valuable reference for both seasoned engineers and newcomers to the field, fostering a deeper understanding of process safety. Sincerely, A. Kayode Coker
