Site Term  AIChE Academy Sankaran Sundaresan Flows of particulate material mediated by interstitial gas flow arise in nature and in many processes. They manifest inhomogeneities that can be traced to hydrodynamic instabilities and interparticle forces tha ...

Site Term  AIChE Academy Michael Machuca Marty McDonough To capture the highest possible margins in your batch process, you must improve your Right-First-Time metric. But for many plants that can be a major hurdle. Attend this sponsored webinar to learn p ...

Site Term  AIChE Academy Blair Brettmann Materials with high particle loadings are important for several applications: in many cases the particles provide the desired functionality and the polymer acts to bind them together into a shape, so maximizing par ...

Site Term  AIChE Academy Heather Emady Granular/particulate materials are common in our everyday lives, and their processing consumes ~10% of the world’s energy.  Despite their extensive use as well as economic and environmental impacts, far fewer enginee ...

Site Term  AIChE Academy Karl V. Jacob Struggling with the process of constructing a solids processing-intensive flow sheet? Take this webinar. In 60 minutes, look at how each step in the construction of a flow sheet is made more difficult by the interpla ...

Site Term  AIChE Academy Karl V. Jacob Mixing and blending of solids is a very common unit operation across a wide range of industries from pharmaceutical tabletting operations to foodstuff manufacture to ordered mixtures for plastic granules. This webina ...

Site Term  AIChE Academy Karl V. Jacob Drying is a commonly used unit operation in the process industry and is responsible for a significant amount of energy usage. Yet drying often results in both process inefficiencies, usually manifest as lack of produ ...

Site Term  AIChE Academy Karl V. Jacob Pneumatic conveying is routinely used to move solids of all sizes within process plants. On account of the compressibility of the conveying gas, the pneumatic conveying of solids is quite different from the pumping o ...

Site Term  AIChE Academy Karl V. Jacob Storage and flow of bulk solids/particulate materials seems relatively simple at first glance – in many cases, it is just simply a wide spot in the line. However, experience suggests that many vexing process problems ...

Site Term  AIChE Academy Karl V. Jacob Solids processing unit operations are ubiquitous in chemical plants, yet most chemical engineers are not well equipped to deal with particle technology process problems. Consequently, as Merrow has reported and the p ...
