Reactions and Separations
Can We Believe the Simulation Results?
Be careful of these key issues that may generate differences between a distillation-tower simulation and its actual performance. Simulations do not always square with nuts-and-bolts reality. Henry Z. Kister -
Fluids/Solids Handling
Don't Get Burned Picking Dry-Type Flame Arresters
These commonly used devices rely on an internal medium to extinguish flame fronts and take the punch out of shock waves, protecting piping, equipment and personnel. Selecting such equipment involves considering the probable type of combustion, placement in the plant and other factors. Stanley G. Grossel -
