Developing Crystallization Processes
Christianto Wibowo
With solid-liquid equilibrium as its foundation, this systematic approach makes it easy to identify operating regions and theoretical yield to maximize the desired product.
CEP: March 2011
In March's CEP read about developing crystallization processes, applying Six Sigma for process improvement and problem-solving, and a SBE supplement on algal biofuels.
Editorial
Studying engineering in the late 1970s, I knew I was entering a maledominated profession, where men outnumbered women by about ten to one. There were few female role models, and few opportunities to learn about the accomplishments of women chemical engineers...
Algal Biofuels: The Backstory
Arjun Gopalratnam
Increasing energy demand and dwindling energy resources have spurred interest in making transportation fuels from renewable sources such as microalgae.
Algal Biofuels: The Process
Al Darzins, Eric P. Knoshaug
The production of algal biofuels involves algae cultivation, biomass harvesting and dewatering, lipid extraction, and conversion to fuel.
Algal Biofuels: The Research
Kimberly Ogden, Kuan-Chen Cheng
The individual technical elements of the algae-to-biofuels process have already been demonstrated at the laboratory scale. Ongoing research seeks to refine the technology to enable scaleup to commercial production.
Apply Six Sigma for Process Improvement and Problem-Solving
George Liebermann
Many manufacturing processes are not run as efficiently as they could be. The Six Sigma methodology provides a foundation for continuous improvement and for solving quality, operational, and other problems.
