Session Chair:
- Cliff Kowall, Lubrizol
Session Description:
Every engineer is trained in several basic unit operations that are used every day. Such things as pumping, distillation, heat transfer and vessel selection are common whether working in a laboratory with glassware, the pilot plant with small equipment or in full scale manufacturing. Although these are foundational to a chemical engineer, there is considerable complexity and subtlety in their application. These speakers in this session will address some of these issues in design, equipment selection and scale-up application.

Distillation in Pilot Plants
Dennis O'Brien, Jacobs Consultancy
This presentation discusses the design options for pilot plant distillation equipment. Oldershaw, Spinning Band and other common commercial offerings are discussed. An introduction of the operational issues of continuous and batch distillation are reviewed.
A reference list will be made available in the supplemental slides.
A Review of Fluid Flow with Regard to Scale-Up
Paul Sechrist, LanzaTech
This session will examine the effect of fluid flow properties on scale-up. We will begin with a review of fluid flow fundamentals and the use of dimensionless numbers, followed by several examples.
