This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to chemical process engineering, linking the fundamental theory and concepts to the industrial day-to-day practice. It bridges the gap between chemical sciences and the practical chemical industry. It enables the reader to integrate fundamental knowledge of the basic disciplines, to understand the most important chemical processes, and to apply this knowledge to the practice in the industry.
Addresses a conundrum: Academics lacking appreciation of industrial concerns and industrial chemists blaming academics for not teaching applied chemistry Connects theory as taught in academia with industrial practice Important material for all students considering a chemical career

Experience and a good network help to develop an appropriate strategy to get a solution, and to be able to distinguish between important and less important knowledge in process engineering. The intention of Process Addressing the Gap between Study and Chemical Industry by Michael Kleiber is not to write a textbook for beginners in process engineering, but to help the reader to be prepared with the most essential pieces of knowledge in practical applications. It tries to answer the so-called silly questions, things that many students have learnt at the university without understanding their implications. This book is a comprehensive introduction to chemical process engineering, linking the fundamental theory and concepts to the industrial day-to-day practice. It bridges the gap between chemical sciences and the practical chemical industry. It enables the reader to integrate fundamental knowledge of the basic disciplines, to understand the most important chemical processes, and to apply this knowledge to the practice in the industry
