Features

Use Hydrogen Safely

Understand the potential dangers associated with handling and storing hydrogen, and take the appropriate precautions to mitigate the risks. 

Characterize Reactive Chemicals with Calorimetry

In designing and operating chemical manufacturing processes, the reactivity of chemicals must be identified to avoid hazards. Calorimetry experiments combined with analytical methods provide a straightforward technique to identify these reactions and their corresponding hazards. 

Evaluating Centrifugal Compressor Performance

Follow these practical tips to determine the condition of your centrifugal compressors. 

Biology as a Basis for Biochemical Engineering

Biochemical engineering demonstrates the versatility of the living cell as a miniature reactor. Living cells can be genetically engineered to produce specific proteins, tuned to manufacture novel enzymes, and optimized to guarantee genetic stability and consistent production of desired products.

Shale Gas Spurs Chemical Investment and Job Creation

The U.S. chemical industry’s incremental capital investments to capitalize on the benefits offered by domestic shale gas will reach $71.7 billion by 2020.
