100 Years of Petroleum Refining Catalysts
Nov 18, 2008
E. Thomas Habib
100 years ago in 1908, Henry Ford introduced the Model T Ford and ushered in the age when cars were affordable to middle class Americans. At that time petroleum refining consisted primarily of distillation only, and the amount of gasoline required to fuel a large number of automobiles was simply...
100 Years of Advancement in Fuels and Petrochemicals
Nov 18, 2008
Irv Wiehe
The technology of petroleum refining will be compared as it was in 1908 with it is in 2008, a period of time that can be designated as the “petroleum age”. In this way the significant developments in refining will be reviewed as well as the technology that has been slow to improve. Using a crystal...
History of the Development of LNG Technology
Nov 18, 2008
Chen-Hwa Chiu
LNG started with the peak-shaving LNG plants in the USA. This is followed by the international interest of transporting LNG across the ocean for energy utilization. The size of LNG plants has moved from a size of around 1.0 MTPA to a 4.0 and 7.5 MTPA sizes. And the compressors are moving from Frame...

A Century of Petrochemical Advances
Nov 18, 2008
Bipin V. Vora, Peter R. Pujado
This session will focus on advances in the petrochemical industry, past, present, and future. The beginnings of the petrochemical industry date back more than 150 years. The first chemicals produced were aniline and dyestuffs and other derivatives from coal starting in the mid-1800s. Then,...

A Century of Reactor Design and Kinetics: From Ethanol and Butanol Fermentations to Cell and Tissue Culture . . . and Back to Biofuels, 100 Years of Bioreactor Design, Operation, and Challenges
Nov 18, 2008
Eleftherios Terry Papoutsakis
Ethanol fermentations were established industrial process in late 19th and early 20th century prior to the formal genesis of chemical engineering. Now, as we face the urgency to develop sustainable technologies for the production of chemicals and biofuels from renewable resources, there is a fresh...
A Century of Reactor Design and Kinetics: Chemical Reaction Engineering Education: From the Era of Slide Rules to the Digital Age
Nov 18, 2008
H. Scott Fogler, Michael Cutlip
The application of CRE fundamentals has been extended to many new and emerging areas such as biological systems (fermentation and enzymatic reactors), electrochemical systems (fuel cells), combustion processes, pharmacokinetics, and environmental engineering, to mention only a few. As new...
A Century of Reactor Design and Kinetics: Evolution of Chemical Reaction Engineering
Nov 18, 2008
Octave Levenspiel
Until recent years, knowledge of chemical processing was descriptive and qualitative. This talk wanders through this development.
A Century of Process Principles: The First Course: An Introduction to Process Systems
Nov 18, 2008
Gintaris V. Reklaitis
In most ChE curricula, an integrated view of process systems is not revised until the process control and design courses in the senior year. All of the other courses, essentially fill in the detail with regard to the various unit operations "boxes" that the student sees in the first course. Thus,...
A Century of Process Principles: A Historical Perspective of the Evolution of the Teaching of Process Principles
Nov 18, 2008
David M. Himmelblau, Jim Riggs
This presentation will focus on this evolution of the teaching of process principles from the early days based on precomputer methods (e.g., textbooks by Walker, Lewis, McAdams; Gilliland; and Hougen and Watson.) followed by the book of Henley and Rosen which was among the first to employ the more...
A Century of Process Principles: Incorporating Process Synthesis Into Introductory Chemical Engineering Courses
Nov 18, 2008
Regina M. Murphy
A new course led, by a long and winding road, to a new text, Introduction to Chemical Processes: Principles, Analysis, Synthesis, published by McGraw-Hil.. In this talk I will discuss some of the unique features of the text and present a few examples of the kinds of design problems that sophomore...
