COVER STORY
Designing Suspension-Mixing Systems
Impeller and vessel geometries are key factors in selecting mixing equipment to efficiently suspend particulate solids in slurries
Pavel Ditl and Frantisek Rieger
REACTIONS AND SEPARATIONS
Optimizing Batch Operations
Use this novel method to optimize the operating conditions as they vary through time in batch processes.
Robin Smith and Kah Loong Choong
PROCESS SIMULATION
Building Models from Simulator Runs
The design-of-experiments approach has the advantage of providing the framework to build complex models with minimum use of time and effort.
Magali de Macedo and Aad van Veldhoven
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Simplify Wastewater Treatment Process Design
Unlike time-consuming conventional methods, this approach to designing a dissolved air flotation (DAF) plant requires only the physical characteristics of the flocs — their size and density, flowrate and temperature.
Apostolos Vlyssides, Elli Maria Barampouti and Sofia Mai
CAREER CATALYST
Match the Effort to the R&D Investment
Using a phased engineering approach to guide R&D projects will improve efficiency and avoid costly experimental excursions.
