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.

Correctly Calculate the Potential to Emit

Determining maximum capacity and ensuring that permit limits are federally enforceable are critical to calculating PTE.
