Evolutionary Operation : A Statistical Method for Process Improvementby George E. Box (Author), Norman R. Draper (Author) Hardcover: 237 pages Publisher: Wiley-Interscience; ; (June 1998) ISBN: 0471255513 This book is about the philosophy and practice of Evolutionary Operation (called EVOP for short), a simple but powerful statistical tool with wide application in industry. Experience has long shown that statistical methods, sometimes quite sophisticated in character, can be of great value in improving the efficiency of laboratory and pilot-plant investigations made by specially trained chemists and engineers. What originally motivated the introduction of EVOP, however, was the idea that the widespread and daily use of simple statistical design and analysis during routine production by process operatives themselves could reap enormous additional rewards.

Process control lore includes tales of multi-million dollar plants that never operated. Though individual controls were well designed, they simply did not work together. This book--the first to offer a practical, plantwide approach to designing effective controls for continuous chemical and petroleum processes--can prevent such catastrophes. With four realistic case studies...Tennessee-Eastman, isomerization, vinyl acetate, and HDA processes (the first time a workable control structure for HDA has ever been published)...Plantwide Process Control gives chemical engineers, and students, the tools they need to design effective control schemes. Written in accessible, nonmathematical language, this book will be a process control classic.
