Software for generating process designs has made relatively limited inroads so far. But, it now is set to follow simulation and become a tool routinely used by chemical engineers.

For new and existing installations, there are many system and component choices available. Here’s how to narrow down the options to make the appropriate selection for optimal performance.

Use these guidelines to scale up and design biofiltration processes for the control of volatile organic compounds.

Ten tips for improving your personal productivity.

Reviewing incident reports at a HAZOP meeting is more than just a lessons learned activity. It can spur sharper thinking and lead to a more telling analysis of your processes.

New graduates should ask four key questions when given an industrial reaction engineering project.

Many safety instrumented systems rely on dissimilar redundant field devices, and this can complicate required analyses. These equations will enable field personnel to handle such situations readily.

Computational fluid dynamics has moved from mainframes to PCs and laptops. Newer and better software lets you conduct analyses not possible before, and regular engineers, not just experts, can now carry out CFD.

Establish an effective monitoring program by following these recommended practices.

Here’s how to avoid potential scaling and corrosion problems and control costs.
