Description

Reactors are an essential part of many chemical process operations. Proper scaleup of reactors and reaction systems is a key aspect of process engineering, and implementing state-of-the-art safety elements is essential to safeguard plant personnel, the facility and the environment, especially for systems involving exothermic reactions.

The articles in this guidebook provide a wealth of tutorial-style engineering information related to process scaleup, conversion of batch processes to continuous operation, and strategies for maximizing safety during reaction engineering. Safety elements including improved design strategies, the strategic use of safety-related instrumentation and more are also found here.

This volume also include contains Technology Profile articles that outline competing chemical processes and reaction systems, used to produce key petrochemicals such as olefins (propylene and ethylene), polypropylene and more.

62 pages, delivered in a PDF format.
