Steam eHandbook: Take the Heat Off Your Steam System
2015-06-29 17:06:00| Chemical Processing
According to a U.S. Department of Energy survey, steam accounts for one-third of all the energy used in process plants. Monitoring and optimizing the cost of your steam system can yield big rewards. Ignoring inefficient operation easily could drain profits. Operating and maintaining a reliable steam system is vital to chemical processing plants and can have significant cost impact on a plant's annual budget. Typical profit drainers in operating and maintaining a steam system include excessive fuel cost, inefficient steam generation, less-than-optimal steam utlilization and poor condensate recovery. This Chemical Processing Steam eHandbook presents strategies for reducing cost associated with using and generating steam, a 4 step approach for improving efficiency and insight on heat exchanger selection criteria. Specifically: Control Steam System Energy Costs - Steam system losses can silently drain profits Optimize Your Steam System - A simple four-step approach can improve steam efficiency Head Off Exchanger Errors - Selecting the most-appropriate heads for a shell-and-tube unit is crucial Learn how to generate savings through steam use and generation.

Powder eHandbook: Tame Your Pesky Powders
2015-05-27 17:20:00| Chemical Processing
A materials characteristics adhesiveness, cohesiveness, aeratibility, pressure-sensitivity often change during processing and can cause both flow and hidden hazard challenges. And while poor flow is one of the most common problems encountered in handling or storing solids, dust control issues also need to be identified and addressed. This includes combustible dust as the repercussions can result in costly downtown and in some instances, explosions, serious injury and possibly even death. In this Chemical Processing Powder eHandbook, we take a look at strategies and solutions for taming pesky powder processing challenges including: Defuse Dust Dangers - Carefully consider and then counter risks of fire and explosion Clamp Down On Clumping - First understand whats really causing the problem What You Dont Know About Powder Flow - Shear cells can quickly reveal information about flow behavior Know Your Vacuum Pumps - Understand the differences between liquid ring and rotary screw dry pumps for distillation Learn how to tame your pesky powder challenges.

Chemical Processings Flow eHandbook: Forestall Flow Frustrations
2015-04-15 21:08:00| Chemical Processing
Issues related to physical properties, process parameters, electronic features and interconnections can all affect the flow of liquids and gases. Often working around the clock to process, transfer, and store sometimes hazardous and corrosive chemicals, processors must tackle issues related to physical properties and process parameters. In this Chemical Processing Flow eHandbook, we take a look at what it takes for chemical processors to master flow challenges for several types of materials with vastly different physical properties including: How non-contact ultrasonic meters can ease maintenance and improves accuracy Selecting the right spray nozzle - consider several factors to determine the best choice Why inferring internal flow rate in a column rarely makes sense How using Coriolis mass flowmeters provides reliable indication of gas entrainment Case Study: Speed Pipe Installation when a pipe-joining system eliminates need to weld or thread connections Learn more how to forestall flow frustrations with these best flow practices.
