form (El-Halwagi, 2006). A fast-developing group at the Malaysian
campus of the University of Nottingham has compiled a new book
edited by Dominic Foo and his colleagues (Foo, El-Halwagi, and Tan,
2010). An overview of capital cost targeting for MEN synthesis was
provided by Fraser and Hallale (2000a, 2000b), and the application of
Mathematical Programming to MEN synthesis was reviewed by
Galan and Grossmann (1999) and Grossmann, Caballero, and
Yeomans (1999).
Optimization and Optimal Design of Industrial Processes
Several books covering these topics were published in the late 1980s
and the 1990s. Although much time has passed since then, the basics
of optimization are still valid. Texts that are worth mentioning
include Conceptual Design of Chemical Processes (Douglas, 1988),
Nonlinear and Mixed-Integer Optimization: Fundamentals and Applications
(Floudas, 1995), and Systematic Methods of Chemical Process Design
(Biegler, Grossman, and Westerberg, 1997). The book by Bumble
(1999) also provides useful information.
A series of books have been published on process system
engineering, including titles by Seferlis and Georgiadis (2004),
Papageorgiou and Geogiadis (2007a, 2007b), Pistikopoulos, Georgiadis,
and Dua (2007a, 2007b), and Georgiadis, Kikkinides, and Pistikopoulos
(2008). Along with extensive information on process costing, the well-
known Plant Design and Economics for Chemical Engineers (Peters,
Timmerhaus, and West, 2003) contains a wealth of knowledge on
optimization methodologies, including P-graph basics.

14.1.2 Lecture Notes and Online Teaching Resources
Teaching materials and training courses covering the various
aspects of PI have been developed for many years at UMIST and
The University of Manchester. These materials are based on more
than 25 years research and are continuously updated by the Process
Integration Research Consortium. The material has been used as a
basis for a number of books in the field; for example, some of it was
referenced in CPI (2004 and 2005). It also has been supported by
such PI software as SPRINT (2009), STAR (2009), WATER (2009), and
WORK (2009). The training courses were closely developed with
Linnhoff March (1998) to produce Introduction to Pinch Technology,
which later developed independently. Another well-known source
of teaching materials is A Process Integration Primer (Gundersen,
2000), which provides a comprehensive overview of the period up
to year 2000. Teaching materials are also included in Energy and
Process Integration (Georgiadis and Pistikopoulos, 2006).
Many other teaching resources have either been developed
in-house or been tailor-made for specific fields such as the pulp and
paper industry, oil refining industry, and the sugar industry.
