The appropriate testing procedures help direct the selection of vacuum filtration equipment and ensure optimum equipment operation.

Use these correlations to compute swirl flowrate and jacket heat-transfer coefficients as functions of agitation nozzle flow.

Material reuse is often governed by the functionalities of the process streams. This new property-based technique creates a pinch diagram that identifies targets for the minimum use of fresh resources and waste discharge, and the maximum integration...

In 2005, the reported median salary of $92,150 is up 3.9% from last year. Chemical engineering salaries are also slightly ahead of their collective engineering peers, and furthermore, starting-salary offers are at an all-time high of $54,256. This...

The cross-functional IPT approach can be combined with a stage-gate framework and six sigma techniques to improve the effectiveness of process development efforts.

Operating a column under actual distillation conditions is important for obtaining commercially valid hydraulic data. This article describes how a column was modified to operate in either a production or a research mode to collect hydraulic and mass...

Here are guidelines for determining the scope of the control system, sizing the enclosure, and specifying the scrubber design.

Realistic steam prices are necessary for the efficient operation of a chemical production site, both to allocate realistic costs to the different businesses on the site and to provide a true economic incentive for energy conservation.

The TRIZ principles and techniques used to solve technical problems inventively can be adapted to run a business more effectively and more profitably.

With proper pipe support design, installation and maintenance, pipe damage should normally not develop for decades.
