Mystery moves out of mixing
Article Abstract:
The Fluid Mixing Processes (FMP) consortium is a collaborative research program that carries out research into areas agreed upon by a steering committee of its members. It has tested 12 different impellers and 13 internal combinations in tanks of up to 2.7 m in diameter, mixing Newtonian liquids with Reynolds numbers ranging from 100 to 2,000,000. The resarch program has led to the development of reliable correlations to predict mixing times over the turbulent and transitional flow ranges.

CPI strive to avoid alarm overload
Article Abstract:
The Abnormal Situation Management (ASM) Joint Research and Development Consortium is a Phoenix, AZ-based organization formed by chemical process industries firms. One of ASM's main task is the development of control systems for the detection and management of abnormal situations. ASM, which includes Honeywell, BP Amoco and Union Carbide, has developed the Alarm Configuration Manager software tool to help engineer an alarm system that meets a plant's alarm management standards.
