Not my idea - was approached by a major pub house to co-author (chief edit really) this work. I will have to pen a few chapters.

Finalizing the contract, here is a peek - much more work needed for the structure and topics:

Process Plant Equipment Operation, Reliability and Control illustrate the best practices, reliability and control of various equipment.

This book is a comprehensive source that provides you with a practical and well structured guidance of various equipment, operational methods, selection, maintenance, troubleshooting, reliability, and control of important process variables. It combines original manuscripts written by some of the major and leading experts both from the industry and academia. The entire book is heavily illustrated with photos, tables and diagrams, with case studies, and each chapter has a full set of references for additional reading.

The topics covered are vital for the continued growth of already established commercial industries: manufacturing (heavy and light), assembly, oil and gas, refinery and petrochemical, medical and pharmaceutical, fine chemicals, water and wastewater, power plants, food and beverage, and pulp and paper etc.
