The national standard for process systems

Process Systems is part of the NAPTA Series for Process Technology. Developed with Industry and Education, the series supports a consistent curriculum and exit competencies for Process Technology graduates. The series can be used independently and does not require NAPTA participation.

Process Systems, the latest addition to the series, provides an up-to-date common national standard for the Process Systems course of a Process Technology degree program. Fully aligned to the current NAPTA curriculum, the text combines complete coverage with case studies, full-color visuals and review questions promoting student mastery.
