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.

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.

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.

Build a Combined Heat and Power Model from Scratch

Develop a thermodynamic combined heat and power (CHP) model to help optimize plant utility usage.

Advanced Manufacturing Progress: Membranes Are a Flexible Intensification Solution

Membranes can be used in a diverse array of industries and applications. They are an inherently intensified technology that are typically constructed as small units that can be numbered-up to increase scale. Membranes are an obvious focus area for the RAPID Manufacturing Institute, which is working...
