Reactions and Separations: Don't Let Baffle Tray Flood Baffle You
Use this new correlation based on window liquid velocity to predict baffle tray capacity.
Process Development: Reduce Piloting Time and Cost
Pilot-scale experimentation is essential to establish a sound foundation for a new chemical processing unit. These best practices can reduce the time and cost involved in process development.
Process Development: Developing Screening Cost Estimates
Making decisions based on estimates derived from weak data is counterproductive. Use this established methodology to prepare scoping and screening cost estimates for pilot plants quickly and accurately.
Back to Basics: Selecting the Proper Flare System
Flares allow for the safe, effective disposal of gases and liquids, by acting as relief devices when a plant must quickly dispose of product within its system to prevent overpressurization and potential explosions.
