From Lab to Digital Twin: Estimating Simulation Parameters for Batch Columns from Experimental Data

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…

Laying the Foundation for Industrial Project Success

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 Traditional measurement methods often leave you working with incomplete or outdated facility documentation, introducing costly uncertainty into planning, design, and execution.…

Advanced Chemical Processing: Optimizing Mixing Technologies for Modern Manufacturing

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…

How instrumentation can help maximize heat exchanger performance

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…

Electrochemistry as a driver of decarbonization in the chemicals sector

Despite the urgent need for decarbonization of industrial processes, carbon dioxide emissions from the industrial-scale manufacture of chemicals often prove difficult to abate and are on track to increase over the next decade. Some industrial sectors, such as power generation…

Winter-Proof Your Process: The Hydro-Thermal Heating Advantage

When temperatures drop, industrial water heating becomes a challenge. Maintaining precise outlet temperatures is critical in processing, and Hydro-Thermal’s Direct Steam Injection technology ensures instant, on-demand heating. This allows faster startups and reduces downtime—even in extreme cold. Unlike heat exchangers,…
