This book provides methods to train process operators to solvechallenging problems. The book is split into two parts. The firstpart consists of two parts; first developing a daily monitoringsystem and second providing a structured 5 step problem solvingapproach that combines cause and effect problem solving thinkingwith the formulation of theoretically correct hypotheses. The 5step approach emphasizes the classical problem solving approach(defining the sequence of events) with the addition of the steps offormulating a theoretically correct working hypothesis, providing ameans to test the hypothesis, and providing a foolproof means toeliminate the problem. The initial part of the book focuses ondefining the problem that must be solved and obtaining thelocation, time and quantity based specifications of the problem.This part of the book also presents techniques to find and defineproblems at an early point before they progress to the criticallevel.
The second part of the book deals with the utilization offundamental chemical engineering skills to develop a technicallycorrect working hypothesis that is the key to successful problemsolving. The primary emphasis is on simple pragmatic calculationtechniques that are theoretically correct. It is believed that anyoperator can perform these calculations if he is provided thecorrect prototype. Throughout the book, the theory behind eachpragmatic calculation technique is explained in understandableterms prior to presenting the author's approach. These techniqueshave been developed by the author in 50+ years of industrialexperience. The book includes many sample problems and examples ofreal world problem solving. Using these techniques, theoreticallycorrect working hypotheses can be developed in an expedientfashion.
