Description
The need to select and properly manage chemicals — including raw materials and intermediates, process aids, heat-transfer fluids, solvents, lubricants, catalysts, and more — is ubiquitous throughout the chemical process industries (CPI). Volume one of this two-volume guidebook covers relevant topics related to the selection and storage of acids, solvents, hydrogen, caustics, and other process chemicals.
This volume features articles on the design, sizing, operation, and maintenance of storage tanks, as well as engineering considerations for dispensing chemicals from storage vessels and injecting them into process operations. Special focus is given to heat-transfer fluids, including selecting the best fluid, determining compatible construction materials, and monitoring corrosion.
The guidebook also offers articles on “green chemistry” initiatives that aim for safer and environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional chemical production routes.
These practical, how-to articles were originally published in Chemical Engineering, including hard-to-find content dating back to 2001.
