New technical textbooks available on Knovel app
23rd July 2020
Members of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) can now access 25 new books on IChemE’s online resource, Knovel, and on the associated app, which is now available to members of IChemE. New books available include titles on sustainable energy development, and scale-up and commercialisation.
Knovel is an online technical resource of books, interactive equations and analytical tools. IChemE members can freely access more than 300 leading technical references – including the new books – anytime, anywhere using the Knovel ToGo app.
The titles available to IChemE members are reviewed and updated each year to ensure members have access to the latest releases, and to respond to user demand. This year’s new additions include Managing Biogas Plants: A Practical Guide, which is one of 39 titles in the IChemE section of books on sustainable energy and development. It provides basic theoretical knowledge about fermentative processes, biochemical laboratory techniques, and an arsenal of practical tricks, recipes, do's, and don'ts for the biogas plant manager.
IChemE also added Chemical Projects Scale Up: How to Go from Laboratory to Commercial, which covers the process engineering steps necessary for taking a laboratory development into sustainable and economically viable commercial activity, generating employment and income, and facilitating trade.
This book explores the problems associated with equipment sizing and recycling considerations, thermal characteristics associated with scale up, and operability reviews and economic viability.
Last year IChemE members searched the online library more than 63,500 times. Additional titles for members to access this year include:
- Applied Guide to Process and Plant Design (2nd Edition)
- Coulson and Richardson's Chemical Engineering: Volume 2A: Particulate Systems and Particle Technology (6th Edition)
- Oil and Gas Pipelines and Piping Systems: Design, Construction, Management and Inspection
- Polymer Science: A Textbook for Engineers and Technologists
Claudia Flavell-While, IChemE Director, Learned Society, said:
“We work closely with Knovel to ensure our members are equipped with the latest information and resources. Supporting members to develop and scale-up sustainable processes and help communities to access green and affordable energy is part of our commitment to enabling our members to contribute towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
“The new Knovel ToGo app is a great additional offering, enhancing our digital capabilities in order to help our members thrive in their professional and technical leadership.”

What is chemical engineering?
Chemical, biochemical and process engineering is the application of science, maths and economics in the process of turning raw materials into everyday, and more specialist, products. Professional chemical engineers design, construct and manage process operations all over the world. Oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, food and drink, synthetic fibres and clean drinking water are just some of the products where chemical engineering plays a central role.
IChemE
The Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) advances chemical engineering's contribution worldwide for the benefit of society. We support the development of chemical engineering professionals and provide connections to a powerful network of around 35,000 members in 100 countries.
We support our members in applying their expertise and experience to make an influential contribution to solving major global challenges, and are the only organisation to award Chartered Chemical Engineer status and Professional Process Safety Engineer registration.
