A Century of Chemical Design Education: Panel Discussion

A Century of Chemical Engineering Design Education: Chemical Process Design: An Enduring Philosophy for a Changing Profession

Nov 20, 2008

Joseph A. Shaeiwitz, Richard Turton

Our emphasis at WVU has been to focus on the process as a whole (process design) with less emphasis on equipment design (plant design). It is the presenters' philosophy that no matter how the technical and political landscape changes, the fundamental aspects of process evaluation, process design,...

A Century of Separations: Panel Discussion

Nov 20, 2008

Donald W. Rousseau, Edward L. Cussler, Phillip C. Wankat, R. Bruce Eldridge, William J. Koros

A Century of Separations: Panel Discussion

A Century of Separations: Economical Lower Energy Intensive Large Scale Separation Devices

Nov 20, 2008

William J. Koros

Challenges and emerging approaches to deal with the challenges to create the next generation of large scale low energy intensity separation devices such as membranes and sorbents will be discussed. Some realistic paths forward will also be suggested.

A Century of Separations: CO2 Recovery: Myth and Legend

Nov 20, 2008

R. Bruce Eldridge

Carbon dioxide recovery will be the major challenge for the separations community for the foreseeable future. Various separations technologies are being proposed for large scale recovery. The presentation will address the potential for various approaches to be successfully implemented. A basic case...

A Century of Chemical Engineering Design Education: Batch, the Future of Process Design?

Nov 20, 2008

Jonathan M. Vinson

Process design for the batch industries, particularly pharmaceutical process design, heavily relies on collaboration across technical functions and across time. Whereas traditional chemical development can happen in the space of a few months, pharmaceutical development spans many years and has many...

A Century of Chemical Engineering Design Education: Some Thoughts on Chemical Engineering Design Education

Nov 20, 2008

Jeffrey J. Siirola

This presentation will outline some basics and innovations that may help students better meet future industrial chemical engineering design challenges.

A Century of Chemical Engineering Design Education: The Process/Product Design Dichotomy

Nov 20, 2008

Daniel R. Lewin, J.D. Seader, Soemantri Widagdo, Warren Sieder

This presentation addresses the interface between process and product design education. Three classes of chemical products are considered: (1) basic chemicals, (2) industrial chemicals, and (3) configured consumer chemical products.

A Century of Chemical Engineering Design Education: Systematic Methods for Product Synthesis and Design

Nov 20, 2008

L.T. Biegler

This talk outlines a systematic decision-making framework for design education that combines various concepts. A number of case study projects are presented along with an outline of the course sequence.

A Century of Chemical Engineering Design Education: Difficulties in Teaching Chemical Product Design

Nov 20, 2008

Edward L. Cussler

Molecules, like the salmon pigment astaxanthin and the prostate cancer drug Zoladex, depend for their manufacture on unit operations. But microstructured products, like sunscreen and breakfast cereal, require inventing new tools for development. This paper will describe efforts to develop these...
