Optimize Your Fluidized Bed Catalyst Make-up Rate

Here, in Part 2 of this series, we consider fluidized beds and slurry reactors with a continuous catalyst make-up and purge rate. From the perspective of an economic evaluation, the make-up catalyst is treated as an ongoing variable cost, rather than an initial investment that pays back over...

Dividing-Wall Columns: Lessons Learned from Naphtha Upgrading

Dividing-wall columns (DWCs) improve the energy efficiency and reduce capital cost requirements by approximately 20–30% relative to conventional distillation towers. The unique feature of a DWC is a vertical wall (or walls) within the column that eliminates remixing of components, which is...

Process Intensification using Building Blocks

Process intensification often requires innovative solutions to make drastic improvements. However, identification of optimal intensification schemes is not always an easy task, even at the conceptual design stage. The traditional paradigm of unit-operation-based process synthesis may not always...

Using Simulation and Digitalization in Modular Chemical Processing for Process Intensification

The chemical process industries (CPI) have been built upon two fundamental tenets: economies of scale, and unit operations. Traditional chemical processing takes advantage of economies of scale by building large plants, which make better use of capital and resources. And, the processing steps...
