Reactions and Separations
Identify Potential Stagnant Areas in an Ethylene Plant
Identify and mitigate stagnant areas in an ethylene plant to prevent polymer buildup that hinders plant performance, reliability, and safety.
Back to Basics
Proper Handling of Toxic Inhalation Hazard Chemicals
Toxic inhalation hazard (TIH) chemicals are widely used in the chemical process industries (CPI) and transported through communities. Fatalities can occur if these chemicals are not managed properly.
Computational Methods
Using an Artificial Neural Network for Reduced Order Modeling
Artificial neural networks can be used to build a reduced order model of a piece of equipment, such as a methanol synthesis reactor. The model can then be harnessed for real-time optimization of the application.
Instrumentation
Advanced Instrumentation Diagnostics to Detect Process Problems
Many of today’s process instruments have advanced diagnostic capabilities that enable predictive maintenance.
