Examples of scaled-up mixing calculations used in the industry
Mixing Scale-up Calculations Examples of scaled-up mixing calculations used in the industry Scale-up efforts involve investigation into potential process hazards, understanding reaction kinetics and thermodynamics, identifying and characterizing impurities, mixing and mass transfer studies, heat transfer and heat removal studies as well as crystallization and polymorph control.Some questions you should answer before we scale-up… What […]
Why is chemical process simulation used in the chemical industry?
This question is like asking, what is the need to eat or drink? Everything in the chemical industry and everything in the business should be designed before you do any next step. Chemical process simulation is the design step that allows testing the capability of the equipment to reach the goals of the process. The […]
Chemical process calculations and material balance
Chemical process calculations and material balance have a very interesting relationship. The goal of the industry is to have the material that you want to sell. From there, we generate our incomes and the capability of the company to grow, to increase, and to help the world have a better quality of life. But in […]
Common Mistakes in Chemical Process Optimization
One of the main points that we have to be aware of during our daily work is to try to avoid mistakes during chemical process optimization. It is very typical to waste time for the company when we are undertaking and running processes in the lab that really will not be representative in the next […]
How to Choose a Mixing Simulation Program
Here we are at the very beginning of the year and it’s typical that we are organizing ourselves to be effective in our job. One of the best tools to avoid problems and gain a better understanding of industrial processes is to use simulation software. In our field, the only parameter that we’re changing from […]
Chemical Process Technology
Explaining chemical process technology is like trying to explain about all the fields of chemical engineering. Chemical process technology is any interaction between natural phenomena, like chemistry or biology, with starting materials and the manufacturing facilities used for the process. The applied technologies take advantage of knowledge of the phenomena in the natural world to […]
