Recognizing the 21 Most Influential Contributions to Mixing Research

Here is a look at the key milestones in the field of mixing, and how these foundational developments paved the way for current industrial practice.

Designing Multistage Agitated Reactors

This article bridges the gap between theory and practice for the design of continuous-flow mechanically agitated reactors, with a focus on mechanical and hydraulic issues.

Fermentation Fundamentals: Brewing Bugs for Bioengineering

A fermentation process leverages live cells to manufacture a variety of products. Choosing the correct host cell, as well as the optimal production equipment and method, are the fundamental first steps of these complex processes.

Implement a Sustainable Steam-Trap Management Program

Steam trap management is important for the successful operation of a chemical processing plant. Follow these guidelines to realize the benefits of such a program.

How Much Is Another Measurement Worth?

New measurements are valuable only if they increase the economic value of the plant. Evaluate a measurement investment by quantifying the expected improved financial performance.

CEP: Catalyzing Commercialization - Turning a Problem into a Cure for Increased Ethanol Yield

The beneficial microbes that convert milk into yogurt and act in our guts to promote digestive health cause big problems in ethanol fermentation tanks. These lactic acid bacteria (LAB) proliferate in ethanol feedstock and inhibit growth of ethanol-producing yeast — which slows down fermentation,...

CEP: Editorial - ChemEs Just Need to Have Fun

Last month, I wrote about creativity and pointed out two ways to spark your creativity — relax, and look at things in a fresh way. As I was researching that editorial, I kept coming across another creativity booster: fun.

CEP: AIChE Journal Highlight - Casting Process Safety as a Control Problem

Process safety has come a long way since the Bhopal tragedy in 1984. However, accidents in the chemical process industries continue to occur. Post-mortem analysis has indicated that many were preventable and had similar systemic causes. This begs the question: Why do we fail to learn from past...

CEP: Process Safety Beacon - Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is corrosion of piping, tanks, or other equipment that occurs due to water under insulation or fireproofing. Faulty or damaged insulation is frequently a source of the water that causes corrosion, and the insulation may also hide the damage so you are not aware of...

CEP: Material Matters - New Models to Prevent Corrosion Under Insulation

CUI is common in processing plants and refineries operating equipment in a temperature range of 25–400˚F. The cost to industry in time, money, and risk is staggering, drawing the interest of the Materials Technology Institute (MTI) and others in the chemical process industries.
