Alarm Management
Time to Consider Human Factors in Alarm Management
Implement these procedures to consider human factors, not simply human error, in control-room architecture and reduce the chance for incidents in the plant. Ian Nimmo -
Environmental Protection
Industrial Ecology: A Chemical Engineering Challenge
Industrial ecology involves turning wastes into raw materials -- an art that chemical engineers have practiced for decades. David T. Allen - R. Scott Butner -
Heat Transfer
Compact Heat Exchangers -- Part 3: Retrofit Heat Recovery Networks With Plate Exchangers
Pinch analysis retrofit procedures can be extended to handle compact exchangers. Graham T. Polley - Christopher Haslego -
Fluids/Solids Handling
Ease Control Valve Selection
With so many types and options available, choosing the right control valve can seem daunting. Selection can be simplified by considering the process fluid, the service requirements, how the various valves function, and seeing how each valve will match these.

Advanced Cubic Equations of State: When and How to Use Them
Understanding the strengths and limitations of a cubic equation of state (CEOS) is crucial for selecting the right one for your flowsheet simulation. Wayne Sim - Chorng H. Twu - Vince Tassone -
Reactions and Separations
Navigate Phase Equilibria via Residue Curve Maps
These maps provide a rapid, graphical means to visualize the separation possibilities and constraints of azeotropic ternary systems. They also help check the soundness of models used to predict equilibrium data.
