Description

Scaleup and safety are two important issues for chemical engineering designing, operating and maintaining reactor-driven systems to convert raw materials to intermediate and finished products. This Chemical Engineering Guidebook features a collection of tutorial-style engineering articles that provide useful tips and best practices for the selection, design, operation and maintenance of reactor systems.

Content provides technical guidance for scaling up reactor-based systems, from concept to commercial-scale production. Several articles focus on issues related to batch production and discuss making the move from batch to continuous production.

Safety-related topics focus on pressure management and overpressure protection, disaster preparedness, physical and cybersecurity, and materials selection. Also included is a selection of Technology Profile articles which give detailed discussion on relevant reactor-based chemical conversions that have commercial importance to chemical process industries facilities.

Delivered in a PDF format, 132 pages.
