Succeed at reactor scale-up
Article Abstract:
Scaling up laboratory and pilot plant reactors to commercial-sized, full- scale factory units frequently presents considerable challenges to chemical engineers, and it is of paramount importance to them to understand and solve the problems that may arise. These problems will depend on the type of reactor used during development and planned for the full-scale facility. There are four common types of reactors, namely, batch, semi-batch, continuous stirred tank and tubular reactors. Engineers ought to take into account a number of considerations when dealing with any of these types of reactors.

Select an air dryer for yur dust collector
Article Abstract:
The chemical process industries (CPI) generally engage in a wide variety of dust-generating operations. Thus, baghouses or dust collectors are critical to the CPI in terms of emission and waste reduction and compliance with environmental air quality standards. On the other hand, clean, dry and properly treated compressed air used in air drying equipment plays a key role in the cost effective, reliable and efficient operations of pulse-jet dust collectors.
