On this episode of the Chemical Engineering podcast, our guest is Moe Tanabian, the chief product officer at industrial software company Cognite. We talk with Moe about the potential of artificial intelligence-powered large language models (LLMs) to significantly enhance business…
Producing hydrogen via methane pyrolysis – termed ‘turquoise hydrogen’ – has thus far received less attention than ‘blue’ and ‘green’ H2, but it may offer advantages over both While the vast majority of current hydrogen production occurs by steam reforming…
The efficiency and cost effectiveness of modularity provides advantages for small- and large-scale projects When the right conditions exist, the benefits of modular construction — from laboratory scale to large scale — are plentiful and allow single-source, cost-effective and efficient…
Milling is a common technique for controlling particle-size distribution (PSD) in solid products through size reduction and surface modification. Broadly, mills can be categorized as wet or dry mills, and these two categories are each further subdivided by how comminution…
Continuous flow measurement is used at this Austrian specialty chemicals manufacturer for process optimization, as well as overload protection Sensing-plate weighing systems are often used for weighing free-flowing and very dusty bulk materials. Such solids flowmeters ensure reliable determination of…
Being aware of and understanding potential hazards are crucial for operating a heat-transfer-fluid system safely A significant number of industrial processes require heating or cooling with precise temperature control. Maintaining this temperature control can be achieved through several industrial practices,…
