This paper discusses critical safety and efficiency challenges in drying operations, introduces the CO.Pilot, and shows how this system can enhance both safety and efficiency resulting in a true return on investment.
The Batch Column in CHEMCAD is a powerful unit operation that allows the fast, simple, and reliable estimation of the feasibility of a batch distillation process. Whether you're designing a new column, developing new separation processes in existing columns, optimizing…
Accurate baseline data is the foundation for every successful industrial project, whether you’re modernizing aging equipment or expanding operations. Traditional measurement methods often leave you working with incomplete or outdated facility documentation, introducing costly uncertainty into planning, design, and execution.…
In today's chemical manufacturing landscape, mixing operations represent a critical cornerstone of process efficiency and product quality. The selection and implementation of appropriate mixing technologies can dramatically impact production capabilities, consistency, and bottom-line results. This white paper examines the complex…
A portfolio of instruments is required to effectively manage the lifecycle costs of heat exchangers. The operation and maintenance of heat exchangers accounts for a significant proportion of the capital and maintenance expenditure of chemical and petrochemical plants. While minimal…
Steam is commonly used across the chemical process industries (CPI) for a variety of end uses, including process heating, mechanical drive, moderation of chemical reactions and fractionation of hydrocarbons. Heat exchangers, turbines, fractionating towers, stripping columns, and reaction vessels are…
With hydrogen’s evolution into an alternative fuel requiring precise production and storage, selecting the right valves has never been more important Hydrogen shows great promise in the search for alternative fuels. Handling hydrogen safely and reliably, from generation to end…
Consider the potential for stem seal leakage when selecting a valve Experienced process control engineers follow familiar, time-tested steps when presented with a new system to design and specify. Selecting a control valve for a process always requires the same…
When updating equipment protection systems in a plant, it often pays to think long term. Today’s protection systems can do more than avoid catastrophic failure — they are the foundation of an enterprise-wide predictive maintenance program Chemical process industries (CPI)…
This article examines the application of reinforcing pads for strengthening nozzles in pressure vessels and the impact of the geometric gap that exists between the pad and the vessel shell Many common forms of nozzle connections in technological applications are…
