Page 30 - The engineering of chemical reactions

14 Introduction

Finally, the practicing engineer needs to remain continuously informed about tech-
nologies and processes, both existing and new. Here one needs to find relevant books,
journals, and monographs in technical libraries. One of the best of these is Kirk-Othmer,
Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, a multivolume set that describes existing processes
for manufacturing many chemicals.
