This article is to understand the process control and instrumentation system in our chemical process industries. Which is very important for stable and efficient operation of any plant. In a chemical plant to achieve desired output with desired quality and capacity we need to control the process parameters. For each process parameter we have an […]

As we know to validate theoretical solution or new product design, we need to conduct actual trials. These experiment trials we conduct to observe the impact of various input variables on output variables. Before implementing the solution on commercial scale, it is better to check them at pilot scale. This way we can avoid any

In plants liquid-liquid extraction column is used to separate components using solvent. In liquid-liquid extraction process solute is transferred between solvents. Moreover, both the solvents are insoluble in one another. However, the solvent which contain solute we consider it a feed stream. And, other is solvent stream in which solute transfer takes place. Selection of

We can recall there was an era in manufacturing. When product was the priority and focus on manufacturing cost was secondary. We were not bothered about the raw material norms, utility norms and other overhead cost of the product. Because, that was the time of supplier’s market. That was the time when most of production

Batch plants are suitable for the products where production volumes are low. And in this we can produce different types of product with customized specifications. For example, multipurpose fine chemical plants, where we have many products to manufacture in single plant. Here product volume and specifications vary on regular basis as per customer’s requirement. Therefore,

The centrifugal pump process data sheet (PDS) is the part of Basic Engineering package. This document is required to float the inquires to vendors. After, receipt of offers from pump supplier we prepare technical bid evaluation (TBA). In this TBA process engineer give his recommendations from process point of view for different vendors. Which purchase

Digital transformation, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in chemical process industries are in starting phase. However, we have witnessed huge transformation of chemical industries. Before 18th century production of chemicals was in batch mode. The plant operation was totally manual and human dependent. At that time product delivery was on top priority as

In almost every chemical plant we use distillation column to separate the components based on their boiling point difference. Also, we know distillation columns are the major consumers of steam & cooling water utilities. Therefore, to increase the contribution margin of the product it is necessary to minimize energy requirement in distillation process. We can
