Though manufacturing facilities always seem to be “fire-fighting,” there are times when the plant is actually running well. What is an engineer to do? Plant improvements and optimization opportunities are everywhere, but how does one go about identifying where they are and prioritizing their work...

Process development is a crucial activity for organizations. The role of Engineering Evaluations, as practiced at DuPont, in guiding process development, will be discussed. There may even be an anecdote from Kamlesh Bhatia's career

We give an introduction and overview of the career of Dr. Kamlesh K. Bhatia, highlighting his major accomplishments and his influences on current and future generations of chemical engineers.

Process Development is analogous to Yoga. It is a ‘Yoga' – a disciplined process for integrating the essential components to create a vision of the ‘Whole' and experiencing the ‘Joy' of professional satisfaction. In this talk, I will point to some ways for practicing this ‘Yoga' with ease and...

This presentation will raise awareness of some key process issues involved in answering the following primary question: in manufacturing products designed for specific end-use applications (e.g. polymer nano-composites); or in the production of self-assembled nanomaterials with desirable structural...

Some of the most important chemicals in the world are catalysts. Catalytic processes account for nearly one third of the global gross domestic product. Catalysis has been at the heart of some of the world’s most important chemical engineering breakthroughs, including the Haber process for ammonia...
