The main aim of the book is to acknowledge the responsible hard work put in by
the maintenance teams of various disciplines and to create an understanding among
production, marketing, finance, and human resources departments to work in
cooperation.
The book also aims to highlight the management of (i) maintenance of process
units and their internal equipment and (ii) maintenance of the machinery used in the
plant for (iii) safe and smooth operation thereby maximising energy efficiency of
the production unit without causing environmental pollution.
The book thus aims to highlight the Integrated Maintenance and Energy
Management for the successful running of a chemical plant.
This book has therefore been written in a simplified manner for a better
appreciation of the practical situations by the readers (who could be plant managers,
fresh engineers, and students of chemical, mechanical electrical, and industrial
engineering)
