Preface

Chemical industries provide many essential products for meeting the daily requirements of the citizens and also for the economic growth of a country. Managements run the chemical industries successfully by meeting the product quality and delivery schedules specified by the clients while operating safely and efficiently without causing environmental pollution. It is well known that the cost of production depends on the yield of raw materials, smooth working of the plant, energy consumption, and recovery. However, it is very difficult to control the cost of raw material which depends on the availability as per specifications and certain external factors like weather conditions, transport bottlenecks, power tariff, etc. Hence, it is very important to have an efficient integrated maintenance and energy management for ensuring smooth, efficient running of the chemical plant which can reduce the cost of production. It is also very important to keep in mind that the selling price of products will depend on the competition
