Description
Scaleup and safety are critical considerations in designing, operating, and maintaining reactor-driven systems for converting raw materials into intermediate and finished products. This guidebook features a collection of tutorial-style engineering articles providing tips and best practices for the selection, design, operation, and maintenance of reactor systems in chemical process industries (CPI).
Content provides guidance for scaling up reactor-based systems from concept to commercial-scale production. Several articles focus on batch production and transitioning from batch to continuous processes. Safety-related topics include pressure management, overpressure protection, disaster preparedness, physical and cybersecurity, and materials selection. Technology Profile articles highlight commercially relevant reactor-driven chemical conversions.
