CEP: November 2018

2018
November
Energy efficiency plays a key role in helping manufacturers produce product at a designated quality, safely, for the least amount of money.
This is an expanded version of the editorial that appears in the November 2018 issue of CEP I’m no stranger to funky water. I grew up on well water in rural Maryland — where a sulfurous, rotten-egg smell would greet me every morning at the bathroom...

Undergraduate Chemical Engineering Education Scholarship

Undergraduate Chemical Engineering Education Scholarship Scholarship Purpose To promote the vision of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) by offering financial support to high school seniors who wish to study and ultimately become professionals in the field of chemical engineering. The scholarship will reward past academic performance as well as school and community involvement. It is not strictly based on financial need. It is intended for a student who has demonstrated a high proficiency in core academic courses and who has a high probability of success at obtaining a...

Intensified Commercial Scale Production of Dispersants

November 9, 2018
This project will demonstrate conversion of a large-volume chemical commodities process from batch to continuous processing. It is focused to create an order of magnitude reduction in equipment size (and associated capital cost) by transitioning the traditionally batch production of dispersants, specifically succinimide dispersants, into a continuous process. Succinimide dispersants are a relatively large volume family of products that vary by molecular weight, and structure.

Modular Chemical Process Intensification

November 8, 2018
Thursday, November 15, 2018,
9:00pm to 10:00pm
EST
For several decades, the ideas of process intensification and modular chemical processes have offered the promise of fundamentally changing the way the process industries operate – from the types of equipment employed to the business models of industry participants. In this talk, we will look at...Read more

Modular Conversion of Stranded Ethane to Liquid Fuels

November 8, 2018
Ethane can represent up to 20 vol.% of shale-gas, exceeding the 10 vol. % allowed in “pipeline-quality” natural gas. Each year, over 210 million barrels (liquid equivalent) of ethane are rejected in the lower 48 states. Upgrading low- to negative-value ethane to easily transportable liquid fuels is a promising solution to this supply glut. The key to this process is development of modular systems that can operate economically at stranded sites. Conventional gas-to-liquids (GTL) technologies face significant challenges such as high capital cost and limited efficiency.
