Process Design & Development

Placing a freeze-condenser ahead of an ejector system offers several advantages. Here's a look at what such units can do.

Gain insight as to what screw feeder is best for your application. Plus, learn how to size, specify and test screw feeders.

The appropriate testing procedures help direct the selection of vacuum filtration equipment and ensure optimum equipment operation.

Use this graphical method to determine pipe diameter, fluid temperature and pressure drop for laminar and turbulent flow.

Fluidization and air-assisted discharge are two ways to optimize fine-solids handling. However, the choice of technology is as important as designing and operating the system properly.

Finding the proper nozzle for specific applications doesn't have to be difficult. By applying basic concepts of nozzle technology, you can create a droplet profile that best suits your needs.

These maps provide a rapid, graphical means to visualize the separation possibilities and constraints of azeotropic ternary systems. They also help check the soundness of models used to predict equilibrium data.

This article outlines some of the considerations involved in selecting and specifying a reactor system for research and development applications.

The lifetime of fiberglass-reinforced plastic equipment and piping often depend upon previous experience. Here's a way to predict and prolong service life.

The design-of-experiments approach has the advantage of providing the framework to build complex models with minimum use of time and effort.
