What is chemical process calculation?
In fact, all of chemical engineering is about chemical process calculation. Chemical engineers do all the calculations regarding the correct capabilities of the equipment in order to generate the desired materials. It is not enough to simply know the chemical process or the reactions, or the interaction between materials: we need to provide the conditions […]
Scale-up chemical process
VisiMix scaling-up chemical process options: We have two main options, one that we will release now and the other at the end of the year. However, the main point of the first option is to have some reference in the lab for the pilot. In this way, by one click on a button, we can fix the geometry […]
Liquid–liquid extractions (LLE)
Using the software, we can: i) develop a methodology to anticipate emulsion formation; ii) Perform LLE troubleshooting to improve yield and cycle time. The background of liquid liquid mixing: Two immiscible liquids – a dispersed phase (drop) in a matrix (continuous) phase. Mixing impacts the equilibrium between drop coalescence vs. drop breakup. Lab-scale vessels provide unrealistic […]
How to Scale-Up Chemical Processes
Chemical process flow simulation In this article we are going to talk about Chemical process flow simulation, which is a process that aims at representing physical and chemical transformation through the use of a mathematical model which involves the computation of mass and energy in connection with phase equilibrium plus chemical kinetic equations and transport. […]
How to Scale-Up Chemical Processes
Manufacturing a chemical product is the next step after lab testing. Mass production is a thoroughly planned process. There is a scale-up methodology for chemical processes to guarantee the quality and quantity of the product and maintain the system’s integrity. Choosing the Right Synthesis Route The chemical process chosen to manufacture the product must be […]
The Role of Simulations in Chemical Process Technology
Chemical processing technology is vital in increasing the production rate and efficacy. The process of converting raw material into a finished product depends on chemical engineering. Chemical process technology is the means through which chemical engineering operates. It influences the design, operation efficiency, analysis, optimization, control, and safety of any chemical process system. Computer simulations […]
