In addition, the range of information covered makes the book especially well suited for use by technical high schools, colleges, universities and post-scholar education. The book is also intended to be a valuable reference tool for the professional working with SRVs, be it as process designer, end-user, inspector or for all those in a consultancy or sales role.

The current practice has shown that there is a gap between process and control engineers. Filling this gap is a challenge for education. Only very recently plantwide controllability issues have been included in a book dealing with process design (Seider, Seader Lewin, 1999). This chapter aims to give another perspective on the same subject, with emphasis on integrating controllability aspects in flowsheet synthesis. 

Engineers have all been likely to be educated with some exposure to the classic book on process design authored by Peters and Timmerhaus, which was recently updated (Peters etal, 2003). Even in this last update, the part dealing with economics contains mostly the same chapter on profitability as earlier editions with small changes. Other available textbooks do not depart from this recipe. The recommended measures of profitability are ...
