Chemical Engineering Practice

Process integration has a far wider scope and touches every area of process design. Industries are making more money from their raw materials and capital assets, while becoming cleaner and more sustainable.

We as a society should keep these lessons in mind as we set future environmental goals, policies, laws and regulations.

Operating at a constant level can reduce the loss of the replacement solvent to the distillate by 50–70%.

Use these graphs and equations to calculate liquid viscosity at any temperature.

To select the proper instrument for process monitoring, one must determine what attribute of the particle system impacts the process or product parameter of concern. Once the size region is identified, it can be tracked in-process, opening up the...

Follow these guidelines for specifying, selecting and designing overhead vacuum condensers.

This methodology can be used to calculate vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) between thiols and hydrocarbons at any composition, temperature or pressure to improve gasoline fractionation processes.

Chromatographic resolution coupled with crystallization can be your best option for manufacturing chirally pure products.

This commonly used number does not correctly address the influence of viscosity, and has no relationship to performance parameters such as fluid velocity and blend time. This article recommends actual measures of agitator performance that should be...

Advanced modeling techniques and improved geometric features are helping designers and users of rotor-stator mixers to demystify these complex devices, and get more consistent predictable results.
