"... this book is an excellent contribution. In a departure from the more traditional empirical and theoretical approaches, the author introduces the reader to the practice, by presenting design and operation techniques that have been demonstrated to be useful." Professor Gunter Wozny Technische Universitat Berlin "Dr Mujtaba brings a wealth of experience to this area, in that he has been an active researcher on many aspects of batch distillation for the past 15 years ... The detailed list of references at the end of each chapter make this monograph a valuable addition to the simulation and control literature." Professor T F Edgar The University of Texas at Austin, USA
