A Practical Approach to Chemical Engineering for Non-Chemical Engineers is aimed at people who are dealing with chemical engineers or those who are involved in chemical processing plants. The book demystifies complicated chemical engineering concepts through daily life examples and analogies. It contains many illustrations and tables that facilitate quick and in-depth understanding of the concepts handled in the book. By studying this book, practicing engineers (non-chemical), professionals, technicians and other skilled workers will gain a deeper understanding of what chemical engineers say and ask for.

The book is also useful for engineering students who plan to get into chemical engineering and want to know more on the topic and any related jargon.

Moe Toghraei, M.Sc., P.Eng. is Process Engineer who has more than 25 years' experience in chemical engineering, and more than 20 years' experience in teaching. He has in-depth knowledge in project management skills including, man-hour estimation, budgeting, scheduling, and planning. Currently he is an independent Project/Process Engineer. Up to 2011 he was Lead Engineer with CH2M and Jacobs, Calgary, Alberta, Lead Process Specialist with Worley Parsons; Calgary, Alberta. He authored the book “Piping and instrumentation diagram development published with Wiley-AIChE in 2019. He developed and instructed in-class training courses on “Water treatment in the oil industry, “De-Oiling: Oil Removal From Water, “P&ID: Reading & Interpretation, “Practical Process Control: A P&ID Approach, “Pressure Safety Valves, and online training courses on “Process Engineering for Control Practitioners", “Process Engineering for Control Practitioners", “Chemical Engineering for non-chemical engineers.
