NSF Funding: Planting the Seeds of Innovation
The National Science Foundation (NSF) issues hundreds of grants every year to translate invention into impact. This article discusses some of the many NSF funding opportunities and also profiles several organizations that have found success due, in part, to NSF funding.
Back to Basics
Ensure Safe Scaleup
Minor hazards in the laboratory could turn out to be major safety concerns as the process is scaled up. Follow this guidance to ensure each stage of scaleup is safe.
On the Horizon
Introduction to Gas Separation Membrane Technologies
Separating industrial gases using membranes at large scale is a relatively new concept, but has potential to greatly impact the chemical process industries (CPI).
Plant Operations
How to Begin Chemical Plant Decommissioning
Decommissioning activity has expanded in response to economic pressures and rapid change across the global chemicals landscape. Execute these high-hazard projects safely, cost-effectively, and with maximum respect for the environment and the surrounding communities.
Safety
Atmospheric Models Guide Emergency Response Decisions
Atmospheric dispersion models are critical tools for informing emergency management decisions when an uncontrolled chemical release occurs with little or no warning.
