Expanded Metal Networks: A Safety Net to Thwart Gas Explosions

Using active deflagration suppression is the usual way to prevent or mitigate gas explosions. However, this is not always practical. A passive method is now available - inserting a metal foil into the vessel to absorb the heat of reaction and putting a limit on the temperature rise.

Design Reactors via CFD

Using computational fluid dynamics to design commercial-size batch and continuous reactors can eliminate subjective experience and empiricism, leading to better-designed, more-efficient units.

Achieving Success

Put these seven principles to work to spell success for your professional and personal life.

Optimize Process Regulation

Laboratory feedback proportional-integral control integrates statistical process control with automatic process control to minimize process variability.
