The Pilot Plant Real Book, by Francis X. McConville, is a unique and highly practical new handbook for R&D chemists, chemical engineers, technicians, and students. Bridging the gap between chemistry and engineering, it is designed for process R&D, kilo-lab and pilot plant personnel, and is packed with information for the safe and effective scale-up of new processes.
The revised and expanded 2nd edition is richly illustrated with over 200 distinctive charts, graphs, figures and data tables, and contains countless tips and techniques, an exhaustive index, bibliography and recommended reading list. 320 pages, 8.5 x 11 inches, two-color, robust lay-flat binding. $174.95 U.S. [ISBN 0-9721769-2-6]. Available through this site or select vendors of scientific books.
