A shortage of technical talent and experience is challenging many in the chemical process industries. Steps that can be taken to improve the situation are discussed The changing professional climate and the vexing economic situation among technology-based companies are leading…
When properly selected and stored, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) can be used to safely transport products in the chemical process industries Demand within the global market for rigid intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) has grown at a steady rate in recent…
A number of factors are involved in selecting the right intermediate bulk container (IBC). An overview is presented here An intermediate bulk container (IBC) is a large package for transporting chemicals into a plant or products from the plant. IBCs…
Water-treatment programs for cooling towers have evolved in recent years, favoring non-phosphorus programs today. This article reviews the impact on water chemistry and operating reliability Cooling towers are a critical component of many industrial facilities. Cooling towers evaporate only pure…
Several methods and calculations are available for determining particle size and particle-size distribution. This article provides and overview on how to use them The behavior of particulate material is greatly dependent on its geometric properties, including particle size, shape and…
Self-priming, liquid-ring pumps enable hygienic operation The CFS AS/ASH Series of pumps (photo) use a self-priming, liquid-ring hygienic design. They are manufactured in cast 316L stainless steel and are electropolished as standard, so they have no “dead spots” that could…
