Manage the Risks of Severe Wind and Flood Events
In the chemical process industries, natural disasters are commonly thought of as “Acts of God.” However, the risks of such events can be diminished with the right planning and preparation.
Reactions and Separations
Optimize Aspect Ratio in Industrial Fermenters
The ratio of a fermenter’s liquid height to diameter can impact its heat-transfer surface area, blend time, and required agitator power. This article describes the factors that go into determining the optimum aspect ratio for a given set of conditions.
Bioprocessing
Create a Strong Safety Awareness Across Biosafety Levels
Understanding differences in microbial hazards and handling procedures is key to ensuring occupational safety when working with biohazard materials.
Back to Basics
