Special Section: Process Intensification

Process Intensification in Theory and Practice

The Principles and Domains of Process Intensification

Apply the fundamental principles of process intensification to the four domains of PI — spatial, thermodynamic, functional, and temporal — to identify possible PI opportunities.

Selecting Process-Intensified Equipment

Use this approach to evaluate PI options and compare technologies.

Process Modeling of Intensified Chemical Processes

Before the benefits of process intensification can be fully realized, a multitude of advances in process modeling will be necessary.

Sustainable, Modular Chemical Production in Africa

Developing countries have an opportunity to leapfrog old technologies and adopt advanced manufacturing techniques such as modular chemical process intensification.

Back to Basics

Getting Incident Investigations Right

An incident unfortunately cannot be undone, but a properly executed safety investigation can prevent similar accidents from happening.

Plant Operations

Prevent Corrosion and Ensure Reliability

Once integrity operating windows (IOWs) have been established for variables that impact corrosion, follow these ten steps to implement a successful IOW program.

Career Catalyst

Interpersonal Skills for Chemical Engineers

Don’t be a grouch — learn to get along with others.
